SUFFER
FROM POISON

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Aug. II.
An entirely new idea as to why
plants will grow in one soil and
not in another has been developed
by the government scientists. The
whole theory of soil fertility, it
now appears, has been challenged
and may have to be revolutionized.
From time immemorial farmers
have been taught to believe that
they put things on the soil to"feed
the plant" They have learned
that crops Exhaust the soil"
Now comes Prof. Milton Whit.
ney, chief of the bureau of soils,
and declares that this is all a mis-
take.
The bureau of soils has conduct
ed some very simple but interest
ing experiments bearing on the
question whether or not plants
really do exhaust soils"
In plain and unscientific lam
guage the new theory of soil ferti-
ity is that plants secrete their own
poisons. That is to say every
plant leaves behind it in the soil
some sort of substance which is
injurious to its own growth, and
another crop, coming along in the
same place, has to fight with this
substance. These substances are
called toxic substances. Which is
only another word for poison.

GREEN BUGS SWARM

PULLMAN, Aug. IA storm of
large winged, green bodied insects
has visited this town. They are
apparently species of sand fly

PERIL OF WAR REMOTE.
PACIFIC GERMAN TREND.
Many Considerations Opposed t
Struggle aCith France.

Berlin. Jan. 1.-The German Foreign Office
has been aware for some time that nervousness
existed in France, both among the Cabinet Min
listers and people, over the possibilities Of
renewed controversy with Germany. Baron Won
Ruchthofen, the Foreign Secretary. was informed
fortnight ago that the French Cabinet had
serious fears of Germany's intentions. The Sec
retary replied 70 his informant that such appre-
tensions wholly without cause, adding.
What could Germany gain by a war;"
Inquiries were made here by French financial
interests last week to the possibilities of Ger
many provoking war with France. and Ger
man bankers who extremely well informed
politically replied that there was not the slight
est indication that the German government con-
templated aggressive action toward France. It
was pointed out by one powerful interest that
"a thousand reasons existed against war where
one existed for It," and it added:
Only presumption and vaingory would sug-
gest war when nothing moral or material could
be gained by it, while all the solid conSidera-
tions of commerce and orderly internal develop
1nents, besides the thoroughly pacific policy of
the Emperor. innovablv in the way Of
fighting for ambition alone The delicaueiy ad-
justed system of production and exchange would
be shattered by war to such extent that
no Indemnity or territory could furnish COM
pensation.
The apprehensions in France appear to be due
to a reasonable certainty that Germany will op-
pose Frances position at the Moroccan con-
ference now only fortnight of. and also TO
the feeling that Frances Yellow Book on Morocco
went rather too far in accusing Germany OF
assuming provocative attitude. The French
government, it IS asserted here, is aware that
these charges placed Germany in an unpleasant
light that the German government resents them
and will reply to them firmly. This reply may
lead to continued discussion in the press and
between the public men of the two countries.
British influence, it is said in Berlin, is known
to be adding to the feeling Of mistrust of Ger
