ARE GROWING FRUIT
Chinese Have Discovered Excellence
of American Varieties.

Washington, ID. C., March H.
The Chinese, reputed to be among the
most able and successful gardeners in
the world, have discovered the excel
lence of American fruits and a mar
ket for these commodities is grow
ing throughout that country, accord
ing to reports received by the De-
partment of Commerce. Not only is
China importing apples from the
United States, but it is developing a
fruit industry of its own in apples,
pears, peaches, plums. cherries,
grapes, rasDberries and Strawberries,
with cuttings and plants from this
country.
This development of American fruit
as a Chinese industry is said to be
largely due to the activities of mis-
sionaries, particularly in the Tientsin
district. Moreover. during the last
fifteen years the provisional govern
ment Of China has expended consid-
cradle money in establishing expert
mental fruit farms and nurseries and
many young Chinese have been en-
gagged in learning fruit culture. com

JAPANESE INDUSTRIES

Japan May Be Industrial

By JUNIUS b. WOOD.

Tokyo, Feb. 10. - japanese mar
kets are showing a rising tendency in
keeping with the Advance in metal
prices following the Ruhr occupation.
The troubles in Europe may be the
salvation of the export trade which
has failed off seriously in both prices
and quantity since the beginning OF
1922. Prices were maintained through
the year largely by means of govern
ment assistance to banks and large
groups of dealers, saving the weaker
firms from failure. Should the dis
turbed conditions continue, there is
every hope that the Japanese manufac-
turer will absorb their losses and the
nations great industrial growth of the
previous year placed on a solid basis,
establishing Japan among the great
industrial nations Of the world.
Metal stocks are said to be low and
the speculative buying is on the Amer
lean and British markets. The Japa-
nese tendency is to buy heavily,
quickly changing the situation from n
short supply to an over-supply. Buy

Paris, March 17.-The general be-
lief here is that the Brussels confer
ence was necessary TO convince the
Anglo-Saxons that France and Bel
GUM did not intend to annex the
Rhine. ! am not convinced that this
was 20.
The French and Belgians entered
the Ruhr because Bonar Laws plan
of January 2, the crowning achieve
ment of three years of British diplo-
macy, did not afford the slightest
prospect OF securing payment from
Germany. Thus the Ruhr occupancy
had a financial object and nothing
else, but this financial object cannot
be attained unless certain economic,
political and military conditions are
fulfilled. Military conditions? Estab-
lishment of order in the occupied ter
ritory. Political conditions? Bring
ing pressure on Germany by cutting
communications with said territory
Economic conditions? Obtaining from
the Ruhr mines at least the amount
of coal and coke due the Allies from
Germany under the treaties.

it was not military in character, bu

ing was particularly brisk during the
first week of this month, with con-
sequent rise in prices.
American cotton spinning machin-
cry is more in demand. though the
Japanese mills prefer the British ma
chinery for heavier yarns. Abolition
of night work and the increase of
Japanese-owned mills in Manchuria
and Central China, has necessitated
new machinery. Much of that which
was bought during boom times has
been installed and new purchases may
be expected. The Full Cotton Spin
ming Company and the South Man
churian Railway are planning mill
of 10000 spindles at Rioyang; the Toa
Shoken Kaisha, one of 10000 spin
dies at Mudken; the Fukushima Cot
ton Spinning Company, mill at
Tickling and T. Wada, one of $4,000
spindles.
The Daido Electric Company has
floated S5,00O,0O0 worth of deben-
lures, largely through life insurance
companies, which, with S10,000,000 is
sued last year, and $25,000,000 paid
up capital, is to be used for the con-
struction of four hydro-electric plants,
totaling 256,700 kilowats. They are
to be completed between August and
March Of next year. Low water, cold
weather and high cost of generating
steam has forced several hydro-electric
companies to build reservoirs. The
Furukawa Electric Instrument Com
pany and the Siemens, Schubert Com
pany have started the construction Of
their S1,000,000 plant between Tokyo
and Yokohama.
Three banks have 20 steamers on
their hands with prospect that other
shipping companies will turn over
more vessels to creditor banks.

cient. Under the Clemenceau ministry
in 1919, Marshal Foch, Sir Henry
wilson, General Pershing and General
Gillian drafted a plan which was ac-
cepted by the Allies providing for &C.
cupation of the Ruhr in case Ger
many refused TO sign the treaty. 1t
provided for ten divisions of infantry
plus cavalry and artillery and was TO
have been an inter-Allied movement.
Today France has only $4,000 troops
in the Ruhr, a totally inadequate
force.
Need for More Troops.
This number does not allow proper
occupation so as to be ready to cope
with emergencies. Because the num-
Der is too few protection cannot be
afforded those workmen who are will
ing to work for the Allies. The GUS
toms line cannot be properly guarded
and the Germans continue exporta-
tons into unoccupied Germany by au-
tomobile truck. Large quantities of
partly completed manufactures thus
reach Germany. ,-.l
The Germans do not feel that an
irresistible force confronts them so
the mines and coke ovens produce
nothing. The ,Cuno ministry feels
encouraged to prolong its obstruction.
If the measures had been firm since
the start, there would have been no
diplomatic difficulties in the way.
And here is what our weakness has
brought about:
II Germany proposes negotiation
she does so without local pressure hav-
ing made itself felt in an unmistak-
able fashion. The Brussels confer
ence attempted 10 prepare for this
eevntuality, but in rather vague fash
ion. Myself, believe it is prema-
ture. When for the reasons just stat
ed one essays an operation like the
Ruhr. it must be carried through to
complete success. before any, CONVEX
sations can be begun. r<
1t is too early. Negotiations now
would lead only TO a lame peace and
new conflicts. Many French legisla-
tors feel this and fear weak measures
will only prolong the crisis. If, dur
ing the coming weeks, debate arises
on this subject, this will be the crux

PAINT ALL BUILDINGS EARLY
Minnesota Specialist Advises TO "Get
the Jump" on Pests Detrimental
to Good Job.

Do your painting early, is the advice
of H. b. White of the engineering d.
vision, University farm. and thus "get
the jump on dirt. flies and other in
sects that are detrimental to a first
class Job Of painting later on.
"The idea that paint is used only
for appearance" says Mr.. White, lis
common In many localities. Paint Inn
proves the appearance of buildings and
implements, but IL is even more Inn
portant that 1t be used to prevent de-
~terioration. Scarcity Of lumber and Its
relatively high price make II clear that
the life Of the buildings should be given
more attention than when material and
labor were less expensive.
"a farmer can often do his own
painting. II rapid depreciation is to
be prevented, II is essential that n
building be given a coat Of paint every
three years, or two coats about every
five years."

GO insect pests which attack the buds,
leaves, fruit, bark, trunk, branches,
or roots of apple trees. Many illustra-
lions show the nature of the injury
and help identify the different insects.
Methods of control are given together
with spraying tables for the most COM
mon and destructive insects.
The cooling moth is looked upon as
the most serious insect enemy of the
apple. The plum curculio probably
ranks next. Scale insects. aphids, tent
caterpillars, cankerworms, l~eaf-rollers.
and gypsy and brown-tail moths are
among the many insects discussed In

pest before 1t becomes widely dis
tributed throughout the United
States.
Major outbreaks OF the so-called
green hug. which is a most destruc-
tive wheat pest, are dependent ex-
ciusivey on the presence of yolun-
teer grain, II has been found. and the
remedy is obviously for farmers to
prevent volunteer grain from spring
ing up TO furnish breeding places for
the green bug.
Although only one-half of the APP
preparation OF $4,000 was used for
grasshopper-control work. a saving OF
crops in North Dakota and Wyoming
amounting to over 100000 was effect
ed. A heavy outbreak occurred In the
summer OF 1922 in Montana and Wyo-
ming. and a field laboratory was es-
tabllshed at Billings, Mont. in April.
1922, to aid farmers and extension
workers In. combating the pest.
Progress With Other Insect Pests.
The results of recent HessIan fly
surveys show the Insect to be causing
very little damage. owing to the work
of state and federal chronological!
workers during the previous year.
Investigations OF insects attacking
meat, particularly the ham skipper
and larder beetles, have resulted in
much valuable information. An In
~yestigatlon OF insects attacking dried
fruit is under way. Special attention
has been given to the biology OF
clothes moths as affecting the brush
AMI fabric industries.
New facts have been discovered
about the rust-mite, a citrus fruit pest
In Florida. These. with methods for
rearing the insect. bear directly on
methods of control. Certain insect
killing fungi have been found which
