today when the United Press was

property. and Z sum equivalent 10
the French war debt to the United
States and England.
How Much and How Long?
The problem faced by the ex-
perts 10 essentially to determine
how much Germany can pay with
out being crippled. and how many
years she would be allowed In which
to nay it. The exact total Of repara-
tions has never been hxed. and 1t
has become obvious that Germany
never could pay the staggering to-
tai which the allied nations would
like to gct-about $ao,ooo,ooo'o"".
Economic experts point out that
Germany cannot be stabilized eco
nomicaliy or industrially until she
knows definitely how much she mas
to- nav and can regulate her nnances
accordingly.
War debts will be treated a. a
corollary by the European experts

ton. The presence of Montagu

preted In some quarters as fore
shadowing an increase in the Bank
Of England's discount rate tomor-

check gold imports from Great Brit

of British funds from New York.

Ter. Call money renewed at per

tinued favorable. Rock Island di-

GARDEN ITEMS

Abelia is one of the most beautiful
shrubs grown in this vicinity. This
species has been in bloom now for two
or three months. It is true that the
flowers are quite small and inconspicu-
Gus, but make up in number what they
lack in size. And in addition the red
dish-green foliage is highly attractive.
The plants are small to medium in
size, which makes them suitable for
planting where the larger forms, such
as lilacs and spireas, are distinctly out
of place.
To gardeners who may be interested
In growing azaleas and rhododendrons
from seed, Circular No. So of the De-
partment of Agriculture should appeal.
This pamphlet was written by B. Y.
Morrison and is based on the results Of
trials conducted by the author.
Hardy outdoor chrySanthemumS are
beginning to bloom and in many cases
win need supports of some kind to keep
the heavy flower clusters from bend
ing the plants to the ground. The
chrysanthemum marks the close of the

the daffodil marks the beginning in the
Spring. Local gardeners may count
themselves fortunate in having such an
extended gardening season.
Plants such as geraniums and be-
gonias. which are intended for holding
over Winter, will have to be protected
from early frosts. 1t is not too late
to take cuttings, but these will have to
be rooted indoors A, better plan Is to
lift old plants and reset them in pots,
cutting them back severely. Later,
when strong new growths form, these
may be cut and rooted.

ROSE BLACK SPOT

Prof. L. M. Massey of Cornell Uni
versity, who is quite well known to
many home gardeners as the originator
Of the Massey Dust for the control OF
black spot on roses, presents further
information on this dreaded rose dis
ease in the American Rose Annual for
1929, the official year book of the
American Rose Society. Under the
caption BLACK Spot Again." Prof.
Massey, assisted by Miss Cynthia Wes-
colt, discusses the nature of the dis
ease and the methods of control Com
pairing Bordeaux mixture and dusts,
he asserts that the dustS are as eff
fective as the liquid sprays and have
the added advantage of being more
easily applied. Be this as it may, many
win disagree with DR.. Massey and place
greater faith in the Bordeaux mixture.
The large rose growers near West
Grove, Pa, use Bordeaux, perhaps not
because 1t is more effective, but be-
cause 1t is more lasting in its pro-
rains. while q good coating OF Bor-
deaux win withstand several rains.
Perhaps a combination of the two treat
msnts will prove more effective than
either one alone, the dust being used
as q supplementary protection for
young leaves. The habit of roses of
the monthly blooming type in sanding
out q crop of leaves at repeated in
tervals makes control unusually diff
ficult
However, the most timely information
brought out in DR.. MasSeyS present
paper Is regarding the advisab lily of
cleaning up the rose beds of old leaves
IN late Autumn because the spores of
