many.
Washington, May S.Acceptance by
the United States Of the invitation to
have representation on the councils
dealing with world economic settle
ments is regarded by some diplomats
here as strengthening the hand Of the
allies in their dealings with Germany.
They also look upon it as having clear
ed away much Of any doubt that may
nave existed as to the attitude of the
United States.
president Harding, in his message to
Premier Lloyd George Of Great Britain,
accepting the invitation has made it
clear, these diplomats say, that the adj.
ministration, while restating it's deter
mination to abstain from participa
ton in purely European affairs. pro.
poses that the United States lend it's
counsel and aid in affecting the re-
adjustments growing out Of the com
mon victory over the former Central
powers.
The presence Of American repre-
scntatives on the supreme council, the
conference Of ambassadors and the
reparations commission, they believe,
VIII facilitate the settlements, and, at
the same time, aid in clearing away
any misunderstanding which have
arisen between the United States and
the allies with regard to some of The
settlements, such as mandates.
AS these diplomats view it, the stu
alton is clearer than it has been at
any time since the Senate failed to
ratify the treaty Of Versailles. The
allied governments are known to have
taken the position that an attitude of
extreme aloofness by the United States
would give encouragement to Germany
IN resisting the demands made upon
her. They also are understood to have
held that the mere refusal of the Uni
ted States to transmit Gcrmany's coun-
ter proposals on reparations did not
quite meet the situation that had
arisen.
Intimations OF leaders in the House
Of Representatives that action on the
Knox peace resolution probably will
be delayed until the present situation
overseas has clarified is received by
the allied diplomats as furnishing evil
dcncc of the solidarity OF the United
States and its former associates in
the World War.
Foreign affairs are expected to oc-
cupy some Of the attention Of the SEN
ate this week and there are indications
that the acceptance OF the allied in
vitation may come in for further dis
cussion. Senator Harrison, Democrat
Of Mississippi, is to call up his pro
posed change in Senate rule to abolish
secret sessions on treaties as well as
nominations, and the debate is expect
ed to branch into many avenues.

NUT TREES GOOD FOR SHADE
Japanese Walnut Is Especially Ap-
propriate for Farm and Door,
Yard Planting.

1- a 1
~ The Japanese walnut offers possibili-
ties for landowners who are seeking
to plant nut trees for shade or other
purposes; say specialists Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture. It
is nearly as hardy as the black walnut
and is by no means uncommon in
northern and eastern states, where
1t is especially appropriate for farm
and door-yard planting. For the
present, Seeding trees will have to be
relied upon almost entirely, as very
few budded or grated trees are avail
able.
This nut has been confused with the
Persian or so-called English walnut,
although the two are quite unlike. The
japanese is dwarfish species, with
dull-green rough leaflets, often as many
as 10 or II to the leaf, and bears nuts
In racemes of dozen or more.
The shells are thinner than those Of
the black walnut, but thicker than
those Of the better Persian walnuts.
The flavor Of the kernels is much like
that Of the American butternut.

Farmers Bulletin 1918 Tells Of Flag
Smut Discovered In illinois
County in 1919.

Methods for controlling flag smut,
destructive disease Of wheat, are
given in Farmers Bulletin 1913, Flag
Smut Of Wheat and Its Control, is
sued for free distribution by the Uni
ted States Department Of Agriculture.
The disease was discovered In 1919
near Granite City, Madison county,
Ill. and In 1920 was found In Ill
fields confined to At square miles.
Black stripes running lengthwise In
the leaves and leaf sheaths are typical
Of flag smut. Diseased plants are
stunted and rarely head. The disease
Is spread by spores carried on the
seed, and by spores left In the field
on infected plant material or on the
ground. where they may be scattered
In various ways, and infect wheat
seedlings In the fall.
Treat with formaldehyde the In
tested grain as It comes from the
thrasher. Burn infested straw. Sow
disease-free seed on noninfested land
Treat with copper sulphate and lime
the seed wheat to be sown in the In
tested area. Grow resistant varieties

Tanglefoot Band-Elms and bass
wood trees, which seem particularly
susceptible to damage from the can
ker or measuring worm, should be
protected now by tanglefoot bands,
says State Entomologist A. G. Rug
giles Of University Farm. The worm,
which appeared in great abundance
last spring, is now in the soil, says
Mr.. Ruggles, but will emerge about
the first of October and change to
moths. The female moths have no
wings, but will crawl up the trunks of
trees, preferably the elms and the
passwords, to deposit their eggs on
the smooth bark. Not only should
the tanglefoot bands be put up now,
but they should be cleaned and re-
newed from time to time, or otherwise
tht living moths may move over the
bridge formed of dead moths.
