mission AdOpted-ReservatiOn
By Russia.

The second plenary session of the Genoa
economic conference today adopted the
report of the transport and financial
commission. The report of the transport
commission provides for the calling of a
railway convention in Paris to discuss
the improvement of European transpor-
tation.
DR.. Walter Rathenau. the German
foreign minister, in an address on the
financial report. said the world trade
must be doubled before conditions could
be bettered but that this could not be
done while the nations were jumping at
each others throats.'' The subject of
disarmament also was brought up by
Foreign Minister Tchitcherin of Soviet
Russia.
Only by policy of peace can the
nations balance their budget he de-
clared in a plea for general disarma-
mcnt. lie said Russia must insist upon
reservation to the financial report as it
carried provisions concerning the league
of nations which Russia did ont recOg-
nize He added that Russia could not
agree to renOunce government control
over exchange operations.
The conference adjourned after adopt
ing the transport commissions report.
Richard Washburf Child, American am
baSSador TO Italy, was present.

In nearly every instance one or two
small trees and one large tree. which had
not been pruned for four or five years
were thinHed out, laying emphasis on the
fact that Il period of three years should be
taken to get the tree into the desired
shape.
Clest grating interested several
groups and Mr.. Winslow demonstrated
the best method of setting sci6ns. In
addition to this several trees which had
been girdled were bridge grated. and
budding also was demonstrated
Windham county ranks first in the
state of Vermont in the production of
apples. and the interest shown at the
demonstra tions would seem to indicate a
growing tendency to take better care of
the trees IN order to produce a quality
product.

orchardists of the county on May 13
when Prof. NJ. Il. Cummings of Burling-
ton will give a demonstration of setting
