The allied ambassadors were unani­
mously agreed in recognizing that
Germany is rearming and that pro­
gressive withdrawal from the Rhine­
land must await further investigation
of the interested governments. There
was a difference of opinion, however,
as to the Importance of the treaty
violations and the consequent menace
to the security of the allies.
Great Britain seemed inclined to
minimize specific cases of violation
reported by the military control mis­
sion, although agreeing that further
light must be had on this matter be­
fore a final decision is reached. The
French and Belgians, on the other
hand, regarded the alleged discoveries
of newly prepared parts for 40,000
machine guns, camouflaged in various
ways, as alarming.

(P rep a red by th e U n ited S ta te s D ep a rtm en t

A notion long prevaleru among
growers of beans was that the plant­
ing of weevlly seed was the cause of a
weevlly crop, but Investigations by the
bureau of entomology, United States
Department of Agriculture, In Califor­
nia, have shown that this has no ef­
fect on the Infestation of the succeed­
ing crop. The real cause of the spread
of weevils in the new crop has been
shown to be the development of large
numbers of the Insects In seeds held
over from the preceding year and held
In storage In buildings near the fields
of growing beans. A few heuns may
he the breeding ground for enormous
numbers of the pests. In ooe case It
was found that .’<50.000 of a certain
variety of covvjiea weevil developed
from a hag containing (to pounds of
rowpeas.
From this It is evident that the In­
crease of the weevils may be largely
controlled by tlie simple expedient of
destroying those In the stored beans
or by disposing of the surplus beans.
This weevil work of the department
has been received by growers with
much approval. In one of the most Im­
portant bean-growing sectlotts they
have formed u weevil committee, the
purpose of which Is to spread the new
Information and to enforce recommen­
dations which It Is thought will ledme
the losses which In recent years have
been Increasing with the continued
cultivation of these b-guuilnous crops.

A disease of winter wheat known as
rosette disease because of the exces­
sive tillering In the spring and be­
cause the affected plants remain In
the rosette stage an unusually long
time, has appeared in Illinois and In­
diana In Infested fields every year
since Its first discovery in 1919. For
several years the diseuse took great
tolls of the wheat crop In certain sec­
tions of Illinois and Indiana, says the
United States Department of Agricul­
ture. So far as Is known, however,
the disease has not been located In
any other section of this country. The
cause of the rosette disease has not
yot been fully determined, but cer­
tain control measures have been
worked out by the department.
May Ruin Affected Crop.
Farmers’ Bulletin 1414 has been Is­
sued by the department, covering the
subject thoroughly. According to the
bulletin, where conditions are favor­
able for Its development, the rosette
disease may ruin the nffected crop.
Usually, however, the disease occurs
In more or less Irregular, scattered
spots of different sizes. In all except
the most severely affected fields, the
reduction In yield has been less than
20 per cent.
The disease Is recognized In the field
in the spring by stunted and rosetted
plants and by the bunchy, dying plants
in the disease spots. All plants af­
fected with this disease produce tillers
excessively and look bunchy. At first
they are dull blue In color, but they
subsequently turn brown and often
die.
In lute spring, this disease may be
confused with Hessian fly injury. In
both cases the color of the affected
plants Is about the sume. The rosette
disease, however, shows no symptoms
In the fall, while the fly causes marked
injury.
Later, the rosette-diseased
plauts may be distinguished by the
much greater tendency to tiller.
Progress With Control Moasuros.
Various control measures for the
disease have been studied and tested,
and lmjiortant progress has been
made. It Is known that the soli cur­
ries the causal factors, whatever they
may be. Attempts to control the dis­
ease on Infested land by seed treat­
ment, therefore, are useless. Numer­
ous varieties have been studied to de­
termine their relative resistance to
the disease. Bed Wave, Early May,
Shepherd, and Turkey are particular­
ly Immune. The general use of these
Immune varieties on Infested land Is
dow serving to control the disease per­
fectly.
A copy of the bulletin may be se­
cured, as long us the supply lasts, from
the United States Department of Ag­
riculture, Wushlngtou, D. U.
Preparation of Soil
Deep and thorough prepara­
tion of the soil la the funda­
mental upon which to build a
good summer garden.
Vege­
tables hove preferences just as
do people, some like to be In
the full sunshine and enjoy hot
weather, others are more sensi­
tive and prefer cooler condi­
tions and occasionally a little
shading. Some like a rich soil
und others like a moderately
rich soil. Noue thrive on a poor
soil.

Since the old carbon dlsnlphldn

France W ould Like

listed as liabilities of the French treas­
ury as shown In a balance sheet is­

nance.
Nor are the amounti due France
from other countries for war and post­
war advances, amounting to about 16,-
000,000.000 gold franca. Included In the
assets. The inventory was issned “for
non party purposes" with the view of
creating confidence by a clean breast
of the facts, as the document said.
On the other band, 103.000.000.009
paper fraacs, as the capitalization of
the French share in the Dawes plan
annuities, are Included In the assets.
Although the figures were omitted.
Inter allied debts were freely discuss­
ed. Finance Minister Clemente! re­
newed the French thesis that these
debts form part of the general allied
resources pooled In war time. He
figured that a strict equity would seem
to demand a general addition of war
expenses and their distribution among
the allies In proportion to the wealth,
