Increasing Demand for Muscadinc
Crapc Cuttings.

There has been q great demand
during the past year not only Tor
information on Muscadine grapes.
but for plants with which to start
the business Of grape production.
Nurserymen have purchased large
quantities of cuttings from the CO.
operative vineyard maintained at
Willard, y. c.. by the United States
department of agriculture and the
North Carolina experiment station.
Muscadine grapes suffered less
inthat section than any other To-
cal fruits from the killing frost last
April In spite of the fact that
the first growth Of the season Was
entirely killed. a new growth from
dormant and adventitious buds re-
suited in an average crop. while
many other fruits suffered from so
per cent to total loss.
Several years ago the homo dcnl-
onsuation organization started en-
courasinS canning club girls to
grow Muscadine grapes and make
such products from them as jelly.
grape juice, -conServes, jams, and
catsups In Alabama the club girls
have reached the point Of filling
commercial orders. while in GeOr-
Sia. North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, and Florida thc planting of
Muscadine grapes in home arbors
is being carried on by club girls
who expect to sell their products.
The railroads have carried Mus
cadine grape products on their
diners for over Il year, and are con-
tinuinG TO DO SO.
Companies using Muscadinc
grapes for preparing fruit ffavorins
syrup and dealcohoiZed beverages
continue to increase their planting
aud output. and during the year
have materially increased thcll
capitalization.

London, Marcl, s G;y the As
sociated PrSss.)-The news that
the UE:tcd States has declined the
invitation to participate in the
Genoa economic conference Is eX-
tremeiy disappointing TO ali the
supporters 10 the Genoa project.
The view is held here that the alb
sercc Of the United States is bound
to dciract from the usefulness OF
any decisions adopted at the con-
ference, for European economists
are increasingly convinced that the
real rehabilitation OF central Eu-
rope is possible only with the CO.
operation of the United States.
In Germany the disappointment
is likely to be quite as keen. the
Importance attached to American
participation being ashown by DR..
Rathcnau's recent speech ON the
subject. Italy is believed to feel
as Great Britain but the French
government is thought TO be quite
lullcwarm about the project and
the fact that America mas declined
to participate will add strength 10
the French objections and fortlIy
the French demand that questions
conccrnin: rcparations and trea-
ties shall be rigidIy excluded from
the purvicw OF the conference.
.Amcric;,'S refusal can hardly bc
without effect on the British prime
minister's plans. 1t is known that
Mr.. Lloyd George has built great
hopes on the conference and its eN-
prctcd results as q political asset
in the coming inevitable appeal
to the country. With America
taking part. great things might
have been looked for. promising
Il revival OF European trade and
extended markets for British
goods to the benefit of the serious
unemployment situation in this
country. II is recognized that with
out the participation OF America
tho conference will be deprived of
something of its Importance.

Hughes Notifies Am
bassador Ricci That
the United States
Will Not Take Part
in the Conference at
Genoa

Washington. March S (Ey the
Associated Fress) The American
government today declined the in
vitation to participate in the inter
national economic and financial
conference to he held at Genoa
next month. on the ground that
the conference is not primarily an
economic one ont is rather a con-
ference of Il political character IN
which the government Of tho Unit
cd States could not hclpfully par
ticipatc.
The refusal to enter the confer
cr,ce was contained in a note from
Secretary Hughes to Ambassador
Ric@i of Italy who had presented
tho invitation on behalf of his
government which in turn was act
ing for tlIc allied ambassadors
council
Ambassador Ricci Immediately
communicated the text Of the note
10 his government
The note stated that while thc
American people We're desirous Of
suitably assisting in the recovery
of the economic life Of Europe. Che
United States government could not
be unmindful Of the clear con";c-
ton" of the people that they
should not unnecessarily become
involved in European political
questions.
The conviction was expressed
that all considerations of economic
revival would he futile withoUt the
establishment in Russia of the cs-
Sential bases OF production outlined
in the public declaration Of the
American government on March
p, 1921, and urged that "ade-
quatc action" 10 that end be taken
on the part ot those chiefly re-
sponsible for Russia $ present eco
nolnic disorder.
In that connection it WIS also
pointed out in the note that III"
American government believes
nothing should be done looking to
the obtaining Of economic advaD-
tages III Russia which would i'm
pain. the just opportunities of 9th
ers." and warning VAS issued that
fair and equ;,! economic oppor-
tunity" liz Russia was expected by
the United States in the interest of
Russia itself as we'll as that of all
other powers.
In conclusion the note expressed
hope that progress would be made
in preparing the way for the
eventual discussion and settlement
of fundamental. economic and fin-
ancial conditions relating to Eu-
rope which press for solution.
