GERMANY MAKES
PROTEST TO CAR
Murder Of Subject of Kaiser
Leads to Complaint Against
.@~ Reign of Terror.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 1.-THE inse-
curity of life and property in the Baltic
provinces which eliminated last Satur-
day in the murder of Herr Bush, a rich
German manufacturer and the leader of
the Geman colony at Riga, has led the
German embassy here again to make
energetic representations to the foreign
office concerning the adoption of meas
ures for the protection Of German sub
,jects. .-'-
Bush was killed by agents of the
revolutionary organization engaged in
levying tribute.
DR.. Van MIGUEL, first secretary of the
German embassy called today at the
foreign office and presented the report
of the German consul at Riga, regard
ing the killing of Bush, who was struck
down in his own factory. He called at
tention to the length Of time the reign
of terror had lasted. Altho the
armed revolt was crushed and the coun-
General Orlof last winter, robberies
and murders have continued unchecked
| for over year and half. There
| are 5000 German subjects living in
Riga.
The American consul at Riga has not
| joined in this demand for protection.
| There are scarcely any Americans
there.
! From Odessa where the conditions are
almost as bad as in the Baltic provinces
the embassies have been informed that
guards haveSbeen furnished for the con.
sulates and the residences of various
consuls. The ministrys Of the interior
justice and war, have sent commissions
to investigate the recent massacre at
Siedlce. The commissioners have been
instructed to investigate especially the
! charges Of unrestrained looting and kill
ing by soldiers and to fix the response

Roseau and other towns in the terri

ALFALFA PRESENTS CHAR
ACTERISTICS OF VALUE
Will Be OF Ben efit TO the Farm
as q Destroyer of
Weeds.

Probably no other crop without a
single exception, presents so many
characteristics of value as alfalfa. As
it is studied more and more, and as new
experiments are made with it in
different capacities, its wonderful
capacities became more and more
manifest. A very eminent authority
has discovered that it is weed eradi-
Gator of unfailing power. This will
seem like contradiction to readers
who have been cautioned about weeds,
and which will prove more destrdc-
tive to alfalfa than any combatable in
fiuence. Nevertheless it is strictly
true that the plant is the greatest de-
stroyer of weeds known. This comes
not so much from any quality con-
tanned in the alfalfa plant. but from
the inability of the weeds to endure
having their heads cut off so many
times in Summer close to their feet.
The most strenuous weed soon will
succumb to this harsh treatment,
while the alfalfa plant will thrive all
the better the more it is cut. If
weeds can be kept back from choking
the young alfalfa plants until they,
the alfalfa plants, are tall enough to
be moved, the question Of weeds in
the particular parcel of ground is set.
tied. Therefore, it is wise to select a
weedy piece of ground for the alfalfa
field, but before sowing the seed every
precaution should be taken to kill as
many weeds as possible. This can
best be done by simply following the
injunction to thoroughly
prepare the seed bed before sowing
the seed. II this be done, and the
tract narrowed and rolled after plow-
ing at time when the tiny weeds
begin to show green over the field,
and again just before time to SOW,
there will be the cleanest field on the
farm before the year is out. There
are many weed-infected farms and
many farmers who have despaired of
ever getting rid Of the weeds. Alfalfa
suggests the means of riddance-C.
