ED WITH THEFT OF $780,

Mule Market Slowest
Known in Many Years

EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill.-Sales at
the mule market here, considered
one Of the largest in the world, are
only about one-tenth of what they
were last winter, according to deal
ers. About $4,000 head were sold
last winter when prices were at
their peak, but dealers say it is
probable less than 10000 will be
disposed of this winter. The de-
cline in demand and in prices began
last August" J. w. Harvey, repre-
sentative of large mule company,
explained. "This is attributed to
the fact that farmers in the south
are not buying because of the low
prices for cotton, tobacco, lumber,
rice and sugar. Most sales of mules
in the winter season are for the
south" Another dealer said the on
Nv demand was for mules to be used
in mines. The mine mules" are
selling from $85 to $500, drop in
the maximum price of $50 apiece
since a year ago, it was said. Prices
for other mules range from SIS to
S275, compared with a range OF
from 5000 to $500 twelve months
ago, it was added.

When Pruning Peach Trees Remem-
Der Brown Rot Sources OF Injection

of various sizes. Keep the heads well
opened in order that the best air cir
culation may be obtained, and so that
the tree and its fruit may receive the
full benefit of the sunlight for germi-
cidal action and for coloring purposes.
Furthermore, if the tree is well open
ed and thinned out during the pruning
season much more thorough job of
spraying can be done after the tree
comes in foliage.
Start the clean up work immediate
ly, and take advantage of the first dry
weather to burn adjoining wood and
waste lands. This will be one of the
greatest steps in our efforts to handle
the curculio in the next peach crop.
The committees are urged to get this
work started as soon as possible in the
various Districts
Attention is again called to the fast
that it is very advisable to remove the
soil from the base of the trees if para
dichlorobenzene has been used for the
peach borer. This soil should be re-
placed several days after its removal.
The gas that is generated from this
chemical is about five times as heavy
as air, and the soil should be remov-
ed from the base of the trees for sew
eral days from four to six weeks af-
ter the chemical was applied to allow
any gas which has collected in the soil
to escape. This is recommended mere
ly as an added precaution against tree
injury.

When the mummied peach is pulled
off during the winter and destroyed
only one-half of the brown rot source
of infection is destroyed. Where this
mummy is attached to the tree twig
there is usually to be found small
canker which is just as capable of car
rying the brown rot disease over WIN
ter as the mummy itself. This canker
seldom causes any serious injury to
the limb, as in most cases the canker
dies out in one year and heals over;
however, it serves TO carry the disease
over winter to infect the fruit the fol-
lowing season. These small cankers
can usually be found by cutting away
the outside bark where the mummy
was attached. O..
This canker source of brown rot in
lection should be kept in mind during
pruning operations, and with pair
of hand clippers remove the twigs con-
tanning the mummies and destroy both
mummies and such twigs immediately
by burning. In this way both sources
of brown rot infection will be eliminat-
ed Attention should also be given to
any mummies on the ground under
trees to see that they also are de-
stroyed, as these mummies are able
to infect fruit after they are several
years old.
Do not forget the advantages of a
we'll opened center. Orchardists must
not lose sight of the fact that hun
dred we'll colored peaches of uniform
size will net greater returns than one

ARMY
IS STEADILY CUT
American Soldiers on Rhine Are Be
ing Gradually Withdrawn. Enlist
ments Are Ending.

The American force in Germany
will soon be reduced at the rate OF
about 1900 month, due to the expira-
ton of terms of enlistment, and no
replacements are being sent to Co.
blenz. The war department estimates
that by May, 1921, the force will have
been reduced to 1000 or $500 men,
about one brigade.
While President Wilson has issued
no orders for the withdrawal OF the
force, substantial reductions are oc-
curing from month to month on an
increasing ratio. The force now num-
bers about $4,000 officers and men.
Many of the enlisted men have been
on the Rhine for long time, and their
'enlistments are beginning to expire in
considerable numbers.

ALLIED CHIEFS
Continued from Paqe One)

clared object of these movements
would be to enforce the military
clauses of the treaty and secure the
disarmament of the Bavarian
Einwhonerwehr.
The action taken thus would be
based not upon the disputed economic
demands, but upon the violated arm
ament sections of the treaty. In
these circumstances the allies it is
pointed out, would not have to wait
until May 1, the date before which
the allies must inform Germany how
much she must pay in reparation and
after which Germany, under the
treaty, may argue her case before the
reparations commission. BY basing
their case upon the disarmament de-
mands they could act Immediately
under the authority of the treaty, the
sponsors of the plan argue.
The German government has been
notified that the principal points ON
the program to be discussed at the
London conference during the coming
week would be disarmament, the
punishment of war criminals. and re-
parations. Disarmament may be the
first subject to be taken up, and
Major General Won Seecht, the Ger
man chief of staff and a member Of
the official delegation, is coming to
London to answer the representa-
tions under this head.
Among the forms of economic pres
sure which might be applied to Ger
many, now under discussion, is the
settling up of new customs to sep
arate occupied Germany from the re-
mainder of the empire. One of the
perplexities to the conferees brought
out by this proposition is the question
as to what attitude the American
government would take and what in
struction would be sent to Major
General Allen, who is both the mill
itary commander of the American
forces in the Rhine and chief COM
missioner for civil affairs in the dis
trict.
