Profe Piper, Car- rier and Oakley are the trio around which is woven a versatile organiza- tion. The greens section has come to stay and the sooner all cooperate with it the better for all. That they have | made, and will continue to make, mi takes, is admitted. It is also true| that they have accomplished wonders in a very short space of time. The greatest achicvement, to my mind, is not the propagation of sses, killing of grubs, or curing brown-patch, but the exposure of fakirs and grafters and causing them to either get out of business or mend their ways. For years such people preyved upon the fellow who did not know what was needed, and even the fellow who knew the game had to pay 250 per eent more than the material was worth. Personally I feel that co-| operation is the keynote for every- body, dut, to be frank, I do not feel that the organization has vet reached that stage where it is a court of last appeal, Sooner or later it is bound | to arrive there. | In the meantime there is a lot of | things to he thrashed out combining theory and practice, by mutual heip. There were differences of opinion on some of the things brought up hut no antagonism to the section as an or ganization, which must be looked upon ae a forward movement, Papers were read and lectures were given on such important matters drainage, brown patch, vegetative planting, the Japanese beetle, soil | structure, ete., in which moving pie- | tures played a great part. Every. body pronounced the meeting a suc ceoss, One thing brought out by Professor Piper was the fact that you cannot work without money.

Occupation, Assoclated Press. 8, Jan. 10—The reply of France and Belgium to Germany’'s memoran- dum requesting discussion of points| growing out of the occupation of the! Ruhr and the Rhineland will be| based on the general principle that modifications in the occupation regime and the exploitation of the| pledges seized will depend entirely | upon the disposition of the German | government respecting the exccution of the reparation clauses of the treaty of Versailess, it is forccast. A showing of good will by Germany to meet her obligations and a real| offort to put herself in a position to do so will justify discussion of modifi- cations in the regime, it is felt, but until such good will and effort have become apparent the aliles can give | up nothing they have gained by going into the Ruhr. | The position here outlined is the, general attitude of France and Bel- glum, it is sald in the best informed | quarters. The Belgian draft of the reply is #till being studied at the French for- elgn office and vie are being ex- changed with Brussels with the ob- ject of making the two answers as nearly identical as possible. A full accord already has been reached on the essentials, it was said, and the re- plies will probably be ready for de- livery to the Germans tomorrow or Saturday.
