New Jersey Farmer Sold Freak
Branch Which Bore New
Variety OF Fruit.
BOUGHT BY NURSERY FIRM
owner Was Paid $1,000 and VIII Get
Two Cents for Each Bud That
10 Developed-Will BE Sub
Ieeted to Exhaustive Tests.

kerrell, n. IA wire cage has been
constructed around the $4,000 apple
tree" in the orchard of Lewis Mood, a
farmer living at Ferrell, in South Har-
Eison township, Gloucester county.
Mood recently sold branch from this
particular tree, producing an entirely
new variety Of apple, to one Of the big
nursery firms of the country for what
is said TO be n record.breaking price for
this fruit.
The public will have to wait two
years or more before 1t can learn very
much about the Mood apple, as 1t is
being guarded with the greatest
secrecy, indicated by the erection Of
the stout wire cage entirely around
the tree. All that is known so far is
that 1t is a red apple Of exceptional
size and sweetness. There Is no other
apple just like it in this country, 80
far as horticultural experts have been
able to determine.
To Be Tested.
This new variety will be subjected tC
the most exhaustive tests under varl
Gus climatic and soil conditions
throughout the United States, before
the nursery firm which has bought II
is willing to place 1t upon the market.
Orchard science as applied through top
budding vii make 1t possible to pro-
duce the new fruit In quantities large
enough for experimental purposes with
in year or two.
The new apple is purely an accident
of nature, being a freak from one of
the ordinary orchard varieties. Mood
noticed several years ago that one o
the branches Of particular tree In
his orchard was bearing an apple that
was different, both in color and flavor
from the fruit from other limbs on the
same tree. lie watched this apple care
fully for senson after season. He took
Off some buds and started other trees.

BUSINESSMEN
. Of j. :. ARRIVE
FOR SESSIONS
Annual Convention Of Great
Chamber Of Commerce Has
: Big Problem.
BY Universal Service.

That little matter Of $780,
2s1,231.37 which the foreign
countries owe the United States
is to be seriously considered by
the delegates to the annual meet
ing of the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States, which con-
venes here today.
Businessmen to Act.
Statesmen and hnanciers having
failed to agree on ways and means to
get back the money. the business
men of the nation intend to seek a
solution through the medium OF
discussion on the general subject,
European conditions and their ef'
feet on American business"
The discussion will hinge on the
relation between the interallied debts
and world trade. The foreign ar
fairs committe Of the chamber re-
porting on the intersllied debt, has
asserted that the debts OF the al
lies to the United States alone are
subst antially greater than the pres
ent available gold stock Of the world
To settle in actual gold the bare
interest payments due this country
in one year would require nearly :
per cent Of the total gold stocks OF
the allied governments in 1919.
Analysis OF foreign trade balance
offers no consolation. The auleo
countries alone had an unfavorabie
balance in direct visible trace WIN
the limited States in 1920 amounting
to about S2.101 ,05o.ooo.
In the face OF a total unfaVorable
forei1n trade balance in 1870
amounting to 5000, 900, 900, the
Committee asserts that ut Is IAN
tastic to expect these countries 10
nav their debts to the United States
out OF an excess Of exports over
imports in direct trade with them'
The committee suggests:
/ An international credit balance
arising out of trade and other Imam
cial relations.
2. Granting there Is such a bal
ance taxation In each country 70
secure the means with which to buy
the bills OF exchange from exporters
and others with which to pay the
debts.
The committee admits the grave
difficulties which surround the set.
tIement Of the interallied debts, and
especially questions the ability OF
the governments 70 impose add
tionai taxes on their people TO pay
the foreign debts.
I'm fact 1t would appear that the
budget situation is such in all the
allied countries that they could not
paw now, even though the trade
balance was fixed" the committee
declares.
At any rate. the delegates to the
convention Of the chamber are go
ing to be given an opportunity TO
air their views on a question that
has perplexed Congress and Cabinet

American manufacturers and ex-
porters will compete for foreign
markets after July 1, aided by
new force Of Government trade ex-
perts, to be sent throughout the
world to further develop existing
fields, 1t was learned at the De-
partment Of Commerce today.
As Europe Is the best customer
of the United States Secretary OF
Commerce Hoover believes that
especial care is necessary in that
part of the world at this time to
guard American commercial inter.
ests. It Is his plan that American
business men should cooperate
energetically with the Government
during the coming year to throw
safeguards around fields already
developed and to find new avenues
for the sale Of American goods.
Heeding the request of business
interests in this country, the Gov
ernment will open q bureau at
Athens to study American trade. op-
portunities arising constantly along
the Mediterranean sea. An expert
in trade with the Balkans and the
Near East will be put in charge of
the bureau. A permanent Amer
lean office will be established Ike
wise in Colombia, and existing bu-
reaus in Latin America will be
strengthened by sending additional
trade commissioners to Buenos
Aires, Rio de Janeiro and Mexico
City.
In the Ear East, American Of
fices will be opened at Calcutta and
Hong King.
Secretary Hoovers program also
contemplates the assignment Of rec
ognized experts at certain advan'
tageous points in Europe and Asia

Study Exchange Fluctuations.

Secretary Hoover has given out a
summary of the reports received by
him in his capacity as chairman of
the 1nter-American High Commits
sion from the different national sec
tions OF that commission, presenting
their views on the principal factors
In the Inter-American exchange
situation. The subject was dis
cussed at meetings of the sections.
In their respective capitals, at the
end of December, and it was ar
ranged to exchange reports in order
TO be certain that the members Of
all the sections are in agreement on
the underlying causes Of exchange
fluctuations.
The reports received Indicate that
all the sections of the commission
agree that European political and
economic uncertainties are responsi-
ble FOR the continued depression, and
what is worse, fluctuation Of world
exchanges, including exchange rates
between the American counu les
Several Of them emphasize the neces-
sity OF economy in public expendi-
lures, iberality in tariff policies, and
cooperation between banking insti-
tutions as possible remedies. Others
declare that stable exchange condi.
tons will not recur until the normal
balances OF trade have been restored.
The estimates of the time it will
take for exchange stabilization to
be effected vary from one to five
years in the reports Of the different
sections; several emphasize political
settlements in Europe as indis-
pensable preliminaries to stabiliza-
ton.
Much importance Is attached to
the necessity of restoring public
confidence in national credit through
restriction of issues-of paper cur
rency and unflinching adherence to
the policy of gradual deflation OF
credit, public and private alike.
