FRANCE FIGHTING
 ID KEEP UP FRANC
No Further Treasury Loans Are
 to Be Made
By the .Assoeiated press.

Paris, March 1h.-The mobilization Of all Frances forces political. eco. homie and financial, in the battl, against the further fall of the franc on the international exchange market was continued today the cabinet, presided over by Premier Poincarc, sat for three hours at the foreign of- fee going thoroughly into the present situation, which all acknowledged to be most grave.
 For one thing the government de cided that under no circumstances would the French treasury resort to further loans, not even for the deN- astated regions. Neither will it per init imitation of the currency
 Finance Minister De l.asteyrin pre- sented to the cabinet . plan for al- ditional fiscal measures which he in tends to submit to the chamber this week. Meanwhile the Bank of France, whose directors conferred with Presi- dent Millerand and Premier Poincarc yesterday, announced that their in- stitution would associate itself with out reserve in the effort of the gov ernment to bring about q favorable turn in the exchange market.
 The bank forthwith began active operations on the Paris Bourse dump Ing considerable amount Of sterling on the exchange. with the result that the pound was brought down from l11.60, the average price of Saturday. to 1f4.60, the official opening figures today.
 The government decided to insist | that the senate vote without delay l on the measures for economies and l additional taxation already passed by | the chamber. There appears, how ever, to be- a deadlock concerning | these measures between NJ. Poincare | and the senate finance committe.
 The premier reported to the cabinet !, the alteration made by the senate 1 in the first article of the bill providing for financial reform by decree. the committee changing it to provide that President Millerand should sign the deerees instead of the premier.
 This NJ. Poincare takes as an act of personal hostility. He maintains that the senate must accept the bin as 1t stands or face squarcly the re- sponsibility of oyerthrowing him and his government. There is evidence of some feeling n parliamentary circles that the cabi- net is heading straight for minis eral crisis, either through an adverse rote or resignation, unless formula $ found between now and Thursday rhen the finance committee is due 0 report the measures. to bring about i m adjustment between the premier md the committee.

 Dublin, March 1o.-The extent of the mutiny in the ranks of the nation al army, is apparently less serious than at hrst supposed, it is stated at army headquarters
 The responsible officers absconded al Templcmore, and quantity of atms and ammunition is missing 4 hew garrison was sent to the post, and the situation Is now normal. There Was similar incide mt at the Formans- town camp.

 were seduced from allegiance" and left with arms and ammunition sun- day Twenty-Five men broke barracks at Clonmel and are missing. They ire believed 10 have been implicated In the disappearance Of the arms from Templomore.
 Thomas Johnson, chairman of the labor party, said the laborites would resist every attempt to set up a mill iafs dlctatofship or to establish any authority within the army over the army. They would insist so far as possible on maintaining the control of the military officers.
 Senator O'farrell appealed 10 all sane parties in the country to assist the government in bringing home to | those responsible for the mutiny that a military servant was not q master of civil power.

Rodents Damage Trees
in Winter and Spring

Rodents gnaw the bark from the
trunks of the trees, usually in mid
winter or very early spring under
cover of heavy snow and when the
more favored food supply is running
low, although they may do this dam
age any time in the late fall.
The Department of Agriculture
points out that methods of prevention
vary according to the species of
mouse and the cultural practices fol-
lowed In much of the eastern United
States pine mice are present and their
injury is usually inflicted below the
surface of the ground. 1t is neces.
sary to destroy such mice unless they
are driven out by deep and clean cul-
tivation of the whole orchard. Where
meadow mice only are concerned. such
methods as mechanical protectors and
repeilant washes are practicable. al
though the destruction of the mice is
preferable.

1t Pays to Give Peach
Orchard Clean Culture

Experience has shown that it is ad-
peach orchard clean culture just as
long as there is room between the
trees to use horse drawn cultural tools
for the purpose. Later sod may be
allowed to form. The grass or weeds
should not be removed from the or
chard. but should be cut before ripen-
ing and allowed to remain whery they
fall for a mulch.
Fertilization, ut the time of planting
the trees. should not be attempted un.
less the soil is very poor. In such n
case. the planting would better be de-
layed for Il year or two. during which
time fertility may be added by manure
worked into the soil. or catch crops
fertilized with phosphorus and potash,
plowed under In the meantime, there
should be liberal application of lime,
unless that element is known to be
present in liberal amount.
In the spring, after the trees have
been set one year, an application of
fertilizer should be made. and the
same repeated annually. This may be
manure reinforced with acid phos-
phate or finely pulverized raw rock,

USE BRIDGE CRAFT TO
SAVE INJURED TREES

Nhen the wound area, caused by
rabbits or mice eating the bark from
the trunks of fruit trees. Is not more
than two feet long, and the trees are
vigorous and healthy, bridge CRAFTS
may be put in place to revive the CON
nection between root and top. Bridge
grating may be done any time before
the buds start, und consists of fitting
small branch cut from the top of the
tree, or other trees of similar kind.
and both ends put under healthy bark
at the top and bottom of the wounded
area. The ends of the twig, commonly
called the scion, are cut with bevel
one and one-half inches long. All cuts
should be carefully made with a sharp
knife.
The lower beveI should be made
first and the scion put over the wound
to determine how long it should be. 1t
should be made little longer so the
spring will help hold it in place.
The bark is split slightly at the lower
edge of the wound and the lower part
of the scion slipped under the bark. A
similar slit is made for the top of the
Scion. Small brads are often used to
hold the ends in place. The bevel sur
faces should be put next to the live
wood. Sufficient scions should be put
In place so that they will be from
two to three inches apart all around
the injured trunk. After the scions
are in place, warm grafting wax
should be painted over all exposed
surfaces. Grating wax is made by
melting together four parts of resin,
two parts of beeswax and one part of
tallow. 1t can be kept warm by plac-
Ing the can in pail of hot water.
The sap moves from the roots to the
leaves in the wood and the elaborated
food moves down in the live bark i'm
mediately next to the wood. Unless
the elaborated food can get back to
the roots, no growth can take place
If the scions are properly placed they
will furnish a channel for the return
food.
The number of scions to use depends
upon the size of the trees On trees
three to five years old three or four
should he used. After they are in
place and covered with wax, earth
may be banked against the tree to
help protect the scions.-R. S. Mack

WOMEN LIBERAL,
LADY ASTOR SAYS
Stand for Progress, But on
Constitutional Lines, She
Declares.
Ry the Associated Press

BY the Associa ted Press
LONDON, November Women are
for progress. but they want progress
along constitutional lines, Lady Astor
today told the Associated Press.
That is the reason, in my opinion :
she said. why they voted so solidly
Conservative. They are instinctively
anti-socialstic."
Lady Astor pointed out that all
the last Parliament-the Duchess OF
Atholl. Mrs. Hilton Philipson and
herself-had been returned, while
other Conservative woman candidates
had poled heavily, but had failed owing
to the large majorities they had to
break down.
Regrets Friends Defeat.
Liberal and Labor woman candidates
were swept away in the landslide
which befell their parties. she ex-
planned. She insisted that the woman
electorate had not voted against
women, but against parties. Lady
Astor particularly regretted the de-
feat of Mrs. Margaret Wintringham,
Liberal, which she attributed to mis-
representation. and the suggestion
that Mrs. Wintringham was a Social
list.
-'ii =. " ih'i iiis nam anu HHSSell,
she continued, were the only two
women in the last Parliament who
looked upon things purely from the
woman's point of view, not from that
of party. Her absence from Parlia-
ment will make my work much more
difficult.
1T is alarming, from woman's
point of view, that the election has
swept so many reactionary Conserv-
atives into Parliament Reactionary
Conservatives are always against
