REMIER LAVAL has salled back home happy in the belief that his conversations with President Hoover accomplished a great deal toward settling world prob- lems. And Mr. Hoover and his aids presum- ably are equally sat- isfied. Others, in America and Europe, are doubtful. Hew- ever, deductions from the rather vague statement issued by the President and the premier are that the real achievements of the conference are these: Co-operation between the United States and France on the economic and financial remedies necessary to end worldwide depression; recognition of the fact that Germany may find it necessary to call for re-examination of its capacity to pay reparations, as provided by the Young plan, In lien of extension of the Hoover moratori- um; maintenance of the gold stand. ard and a tion of exchange rates throug wedium of Interna- tional monetary conferences, if neces. sary; an end of the drive on the dol- lar, so far as French holders thereof are and an excellent un- derstanding of the political problems which underlie such questions as dis armament.

NM the parley Ber papers called in Washington a fall- ure, but statesmen unoff ly expressed their satisfaction because President Hoover ad- vised Europe it n get together and rive at a definite agreement, not only on reparations, ° but on war debts also. He did not, it was re marked, address him- seif to France and Germany alone, It was sald that Germany fears that the coun- try might be placed at the mercy of Dino Grandi France if the Washington parleys failed to accomplish a joint solution had proved unwarranted, and that the problems are now before Europe as a whole. Berlin feels that an interna- tional conference on war debts and reparations must be called quickly. Germany derived further satisfac tion from the visit to Berlin of Dino Grandi, foreign minister of Italy. The Itallan pledged his country to help Germany in the task of overcoming its present great difficulties, and the Berlin officials also believe that the forthcoming trip of Rignor Grandi to Washington will farther clarify the situation and redound to the benefit of Germany. ANY of the 4al- mst - ar- REAT BRITAIN went to the polls and gave the Nationalist govern- ment of Ramsay MacDonald a most astonishing victory, The Labor party was almost wiped out so far as parli- amentary membership goes, and the Conservatives are In full control. Though at this writing the returns are not quite complete, it is known that every member of the cabinet is re-elected except Sir William Jowett, attorney general, who lost to another Conservative candidate, and Chancel lor of the Exchequer Philip Snowden, who was not a candidate. The suc- cess of Prime Minister MacDonald himself at Seaham Harbor was In doubt for a time, but he won by a good majority. Among the victors were Lady Nancy Astor and Viscount Borodale, son of Earl Beatty. Labor party leaders who went down In defeat included Arthur Henderson, Ben Tillett, Ben Turner, John Clynes and Margaret Bondfield. They and other prominent Laborites will be pro- vided with seats later through the resignation of membergerepresenting sure constituencies. Sir Oswald Mos ley, wealthy leader of the new party, was a poor third in his district. The triumph of the Conservatives Is so tremendous that It may prove embarrassing and result in the down fall of Prime Minister MacDonald. The Tories have such a huge major ity that they probably will take over the control of the government. In that case it Is expected they will undertake to pass protective tariff legislation, though Stanley Baldwin and other Conservative leaders have been rather noncommittal on that sub- Ject, ADICAL Republican congressmen, eight in number, have served no- tice on the regular Republicans that they will not co-operate with the Iat- ter In the organization of the new house unless their demands for agri. cultural and unemployment relief are given cousideration.

This policy provides for American co-operation in giving the Philippines economic and governmental stability, the methods to be presented In the President's mes- sage at the opening of congress In December. He wishes to foster the es- tablishment of efficient self-govern- ment and to promote the development of foreign markets for the products of the Islands. NGLAND'S troubles in Cyprus con- tinued, although troops were hastily brought to the Island by plane from Egypt and warships were con- centrated there. The unrest was reported to be spreading to Malta.

In some other places the natives fought the troops and burned customs bulldings, The bishop of Kyrenia was among those ar rested. It is not at all surprising to learn that the Third Internationale fis blamed for the outbreaks la Cyprus and the unrest In Malta, The colonial office In London has known for some time that the Communists were work- Ing in those islands through the Brit. ish branch of the League Against Im- perialism, and It was discovered the other day that the Communists had planned to blow up the immense naval and private stores of oll In Cyprus, It was also learned that Maltese organiz- ations have called on thelr merchants scattered throughout the Mediterran- ean to join in a boycott of British goods, NE must admire the nerve and steady persistency of Jupan even If her rights and motives are ques tionable. As the Manchurian affair stands now, the Japanese are ready to fight China if that is necessary to enforce their demands, though they profess only peaceful Intentions: they have defled the League of Nations, re- fusing to listen to the order of the league that they withdraw their troops in Manchuria to the rall- way zone before November 10, when the council will reassemble; they eom- manded the government to repair at once a river bridge which wins damaged by bombs from thelr own planes; and now they have sent, through Foreign Minister Shidehara, a “friendly warning” to the Soviet Rus- sinn government urging that Russian troop demonstrations on the Man. churlan-Siberian border be discontin. ned. Baron Shidehara told Moscow he was deeply concerned over these mil itary movements and that they were causing an unpleasant effect on both Chinese and Japanese soldiers.

(@ 1931, Western Newspaper Union.) of Fruit Needed Experiment Station Head Tells of Problems of Growers. Dr. U. P. Hedrick, director of the New York state experiment station and for many years in charge of the station's fruit Investigations, when asked by the American Agriculturist to name some of the important prob- lems confronting the fruit grower, stat. ed that In his opinion economic prob. lens were the most pressing but also more and better wvarleties of fruit should be grown and better utilization made of culls, Citing the need for legislation to put agriculture on the same economic basis as Industry and for development .of marketing facilities and the reduction of unprofitable acreages In frult, Doe- tor Hedrick sald in part, “Too few va- rieties of the several frults are grown. Of the many kinds that might be grown in one fruit region or another in the several regions, we now find on the markets but a half-dozen varieties of apples, two or three kinds of pears, the Elberta peach, the Montmorancy cher- ry, the Concord grape, and so on. Were more sorts grown with different flavors and and for different seasons and purposes, frult growing would be greatly stimulated. “Then, too, there are too few good ports of fruit. The introduction of new and better kinds of fruit in the years to come will have a great influ ence in rehabilitating fruit growing. Algo, ti are many culls, and too few ways of using culls.

The objects in pruning are to develop a strong, well-proportioned tree; to modify ite shape and growth to meet natural, local conditions: to satisfy economic requirements, such as cultivation, spraying, and harvesting: to Influence production and the char acter of the fruit; and, to maintain the full vigor and health of the tree. Imported Seeds Colored Color, dominant 'n the commercial world today, i2 used for the protection of the American farmer in determining the origin of Imported alfalfa seed, says the United States Department of Agriculture, Federal law requires coloring of all imported alfalfa seed. This coloring enables the purchaser to determine at a glance the origin of the seed. Al falfa seed from South America must be stained 10 per cent orange-red. That from Africa and Turkestan must be stained 10 per cent red, and thar from Canada 1 per cent Irridescent violet. All other Imported seed must be stained 1 per 2ent green, Clover Yield Shows Value Fifty plots of sweet clover were laid out under different treatments of commercial fertilizers, barnyard ma. pure and limestone by FF. BE. Wilson, Okmulgee county, Oklahoma. The sol} was sour and infertile before he made the test, which was in co-operation with his county agent. The sweet clover made a good growth on all plots treated with lime and phosphate Those receiving fertilizer In addition to the limestone made the heaviest growth. - Parasites Used to Fight Caterpillars Aggressive War on Pests Is Millions of small wasplike Insects liberated on the cattle ranges of south- west United States to destroy the eggs of the range caterpillar, a pest which, after having béen comparatively inaec- tive there for ten years, threatened to eat up all the range grass over a wide area, says the Sclentific American. To be ready for the coming of the eater- pillars, government entomologists throughout the winter produced the parasites at the rate of 60,000 a day and placed them in cold storage at the Temple (Arizona) field station, The vast Insect army 1s now being de ployed over the grazing grounds where the range caterpillar is present in the egg stage in large numbers, The tiny parasites will at once attack the cater- pillar eggs and, it is hoped, quickly reduce the number of caterpillars to normal, Similar parasites are being tried out against many including the alfalfa weevil moth, oriental frult worm, and the corn borer, but this is the first time they have been tried on a large scale against the range caterpillar, insect pests, codling More and Better Feed From Pasture Fields A T4acre pasture at the Massachu- setts experiment station has been ing us something to think about ing the past thr By divi¢ the pasture into several smaller fields, and the applic of fertilizer and the rotation ittie from one pasture to treated land ee Years, ntl ation with r x many times as 1030, less than Re was used iced one-half, hay one- red soi v8 Gow Larier. » gave a net re- fertilizer, Fighting Plant Disease Lettuce news that a cont OWers will welcome that has been dis ered for bottom int lettuce whic f { oy ors at vo : t Is esth costing © York st: 1 tion doll ant disease out a half mil For fifteen yes experts have been hur trol method.
