On reaching Min neapois, he charged, he was in formed by the veterans bureau there that his services were no longer re- quired.
 Senator Watson in presenting the charges said he knew nothing of the circumstances and did not contend that they demanded committee action but added he would ask director Forbes of the bureau for a report.
 Called Pcrshing "Liar"
 In trying to place Green, who had testified that the bodies of nine sol diers killed by the military police had been sent to a hospital at Chateau Roux, France, Chairman Brandegee recalled to committee members that Green was the witness who declared on the stand that Gen. Pershing was "a liar" and that he would rather belong to the l. w. w. than to the American Legion.
 Three doctors attached to the Cha teau Roux hospital testified yesterday there was no truth in Greens charges as to the nine bodies.
 The charge that Col. Paul Malone now stationed at Camp Benning Georgia, shot and killed soldier ir with his command was both made and denied

GENOA CONFERENCE
 TOO EARLY FOR US.
Indications Are That America Will Not Participate
MIGHT AT LATER DATE
Meeting Is Scheduled For March S. Unofficial Opinion is That Allies May Agree to Postpone Meeting in Italy.

Washington, Jan. 26 (By Associated Press) s)-Indications were given in of ficial circles today that the United States is adverse to participation in q general European economic confer ence should such meeting be held at the time set for the Genoa gathering but would look with more favor on a conference to be held at later date.
 The Genoa meeting, it was asserted, would be in position to obtain more satisfactory results in the opinion Of some government officials, if more time were given for conditions in Europe to stabilize. The Genoa con- ference is scheduled to open March 8.
 Later Date More Pleasing.
 The United States. high officials ex- plained probably would be glad to take part in later conference from which some international good could be expected but would hardly become party to a gathering to which in dividual interests might be seeking in- dividual ends.
 This view, of course officials de- clared would be this countrys general attitude towards any conference of an economic nature without especial ref erence to the Genoa assembly, but it was indicated that this country as yet had not received full information re- garding the questions which would or not would be taken up for delibera- tion.
 There has been no official intima- tion of possible postponement of the date of the Genoa conference but in official circles the belief was expressed that the supreme council may decide to postpone the meeting.

Fruits and Shoots of Walnut and
Hickory, by Fred e. Brooks, entomol-
oglst.
Special characteristics of the but
ternut curculio, the black-walnut cur
culio, the hickory nut, the hickory
shoot curculios are separately de-
scribed. Methods Of controlling nut.
lnfestlng curculios include burning the
fallen nuts, spraying the leaves which
they eat with arsenical poisons, and
spraying the nut trees with lead ar
senate. While the dropping of cur
culio-infested walnuts and hickory
nuts before the larvae ia them mature
affords an opportunity for destroying
the young insects by collecting and
burning or otherwise disposlng OF the
fallen nuts, this method is successful
only in cases Of isolated trees or
plantations. Lead arsenate applica.
tions on the stems leaves and fruit,

can be counted on to give good re-
suits In reducing injury from butter

ing walnut trees with lead arsenate
at a strength Of six pounds to fifty
gallons Of water is an effective method
Of controlling the butternut curcullo.

ly bad this year, various methods Of
control have been tried out. One Of
the most successful methods observed
so far was used by q farmer who has
a quarter-section Of land.
Five hundred chickens divided into
lots of 100 were kept In colony houses
on so acres Of the farm and moved
about as occasion required. AS re-
suit, on the half of the farm where
the chickens were pastured there were
only about 20 per cent as many hop
pers as on the other so acres. This
is a better showing than has been
made on most of the fields where
poison was distributed.
The owner and the renter found the
method profitable. After they had used
what they needed Of the poultry for
domestic purposes, and after the
weasels and coyotes had taken theil
toll, the rest were marketed and
brought In about rs per cent Of the
original investment. This year the
owner Is stocking the farm with 1,00C
chickens as insurance against the
