The countless back yard or
chards of our country furnish
profitable supply of fresh fruits
for their owners. Unfortunately,
many of these are cared for by
persons who have had little ex-
perience in growing fruit. Con-
sequently, trees suffer greatly
from insect pests and diseases.
Much of this loss can be prevent
ed by timely remedies at a very
nominal cost.
Since seasons and conditions
vary throughout the land, the
home grower should consult his
local county agricultural agent
when an unusual situation &C.

WASHINGTON, June 8. - W.H -
Diplomatic quarters speculated to-
night that Presidential Emissary
Harry L. Hopkins may be return
ing from Moscow with good news
about the Polish stalemate - The
Big Three's biggest diplomatic
headache
Acting Secretary of State Joseph
C. Grew limited that Hopkins, may
have found a key 70 the dispute
during his IS days of conferences
with Premier Josef Stain and other
high Soviet officials.
The White House confidante is
not expected here before Sunday or
Monday. He will report directly 20
President Truman on his talks with
Stain.
Grew said that until Hopkins
reports, he could not answer a
question regarding the status of
this governments effort to get full
details from Moscow about the Red
Arny's arrest Of Is Polish leaders.
Britain and the United States
shelved their attempt to agree with
Russia on broadened Polish gov
eminent nearly month ago when
they demanded full explanation
Iof the arrest. So far, the requested
information has not been received
here
While the Polish problem top
ped Hopkins Agenda, it appeared
almost certain that he obtained
from Stain approval of final ar
engagements for the Big Three
meeting. Mr.. Truman, said Thurs
day that the parley will be held
in the next four days.
Hopkins also was commissioned
| to talk with Stain about several
other problems affecting American
Russian relations, including differ
ences over German and Austrian
occupation plans.
Grew told his news conference
| that the Big Three and France still
were short of agreement on plans
| for joint control of Austria and
that negotiations still were under
way. He declined to confirm OF
deny a London report that Rus
STA differs with the other three
powers on how much of the Vienna
area is to be taken form Russian
control and placed under four-poW-
err rule.

to lay groundwork for his first

The Japanese, using soldiers,
