THE HATED
Finally Endorsed--He Eats the Wee
vii Which Eats Alfalfa.

Sioux City, Sept. 19.-For a dozen
years or more a small beetle, the al
falfa weevil, has done serious dam
age to the fields of alfalfa in Utah,
Colorado and other western states.
Last spring il made its advent into
northwestern Iowa, and was discov-
cred in Woodbury. county. A mem
Der of the faculty of the Iowa agri-
cultural school at Ames visited Wood
bury county in the spring after the
weevil had been reported, and found
the reports to be true.
The weevil was not found in dam
| gerous numbers, but owing to the fe-
cundity of the beetle steps were urged
for the prevention of its spread.
The United States department of
| agriculture, bureau of entomology.
combined with the biological survey
| during the summer to investigate the
weevil, to find out the damage it had
| caused and the best methods to Grad
| ieate it from the fields where it had
| gained a stronghold, and to prevent
it's spread. In a report just issued
| the farmers are warned that the Vice.
| vii has increased remarkably in GER
tain sections of the western and
northwestern states, and that whole
| fields of alfalfa have been damaged
by it.
The bulletin declares that the best
method of warfare against the Wee
vii is to protect certain birds,
which were found to feed extensively
on the weevil. The peculiar habits OF
the weevil make it almost impossible
- nn~ahnA - ANY, nfhnr xva wvstLnr1t
injuring the alfalfa fields. The wee
vii deposits its eggs among the leaves
of the alfalfa in April. and in a week
or ten days the larvae make their ap.
pearance and for a month feed on the
tender plants. Before the end Of
July the larvae have become adult!
and will hibernate in the soft grount
of the alfalfa fields until the follow
ing spring, when they emerge ant
deposit their eggs.
Forty-five different kinds of birds
most of which are plentiful in Wood
bury county, are declared by the bull
letin to be exceedingly fond of tht
weevil as an article of diet. Among
these are the quail, the kildeer, tn
English sparrow, all field sparrow
and robins.
The bulletin declares that at las
the English sparrow has been founC
good for something. 1t is pest agains
pest, the bulletin declares, with thu
sparrow being the least Objectionable
of the two.
That the English sparrow is -espe
} cially fond of the weevil was consid
, cred proven by an examination of tn
stomachs of 1000 young n~estlinj
lsparrows, which contained enormou
quantities of the larvae and in man,

Der of larvae in the average yount

that from the date of Matching of

MOON INFLUENCE
Department of Agriculture Says Luna
Is Not Dependable.

Washington, Sept. 19.-The old
fashioned farmer who governs his
planting by the movements of the
moon will receive a jolt from a bulle-
tin just issued by the department of
agriculture declaring that neither the
| moon nor the planets have the slight
est effect on weather conditions and
therefore cannot have any effect on
planting.
PLANT your corn in the full of the
moon"-a rule regarded as little
short of sacred in many rural COM
munities is entirely disproven, ac-
cording to the departments bulletin.
"All weather changes depend on
temperature differences" the bulletin
says. "The temperature. as we know
constitutes of itself a most important
weather factor is rainfall. But to OBJ
tain rain it is necessary first to evap-
crate water from the surface of the
earth, and this, as everyone knows,
requires heat.
''Still another important weather
factor is the direction and force of
the wind, and this, too, requires heat,
for the winds will not blow unless the
ACulpGt dIntG 10 CT ~ 10
from what it is at another any more
than the air will draw up a chimney
when there is no fire in 1t.
"Since, then, the heating of the
earth and its atmosphere to different
temperatures is the real cause Of the
winds and of all weather Nhanges 1t
follows that the moon and the planets
can affect the weather only so far as
they supply heat.
The amount of heat sent to the
earth by all the planets and by the
moon is insignificant in comparison to
the amount that comes from the sun.
Hence we could not expect the moon
or the planets to appreciably affect
the weather since they do not supply
heat, the n thing that causes all
our weather changes"

HOME RULE BILL SIGNED
Announcement Made When English
Parliament Adjourns.

London, Sept. 19.-In the house OF

ponds their operation during the prog
ress of the war.
This concluded all of the work be-
fore parliament and immediate ad-
journment followed.
When the house of commons ad-
journed there was an unprecedented
scene. The members gathered and
sang God Save the King" Labor
Leader Cooks led the singing and at
the conclusion shouted, God save the
king!" 1t was cheered by the mem
bers.
Then Cooks shouted. God save
Ireland" to which the Nationalist

cording to a high authority. 1t is still
too early to discuss details, but by
careful and slow discussions through
both Official and private sources the
president, II Is said, has reason for
hope that some definite peace over
lures may be presented at an early
date.
The president characterizes the sen.
timsnts expressed by German Chan.
cellor Bethmann-H ollweg to Ambassa-
dor Gerard as noncommittal. 1t was
authoritatively stated that the chan.
cellor's conversation with Gerard did
not touch upon terms and did not
ever suggest possible acceptance OF
proposed mediation overtures.

1t Ii understood the chancellor only
went SO far as say whether with
or without the kaiser's knowledge or
consent Is unknown to officials here),
that Germany could not consider or
even discuss mediation until the po-
sition Of the allies was known.
While the greatest official secrecy
surrounds the peace negotiations II
was accepted that the president will
shortly make guarded inquiries of the
allies, advising them OF the German
chancellor's position.
1t was reported the president would
ask the allies to present tentative
counter proposals or other sugges.
tons which might bring the nations
together upon some plan Of prelimi'
nary discussion.
1t Ia evident that President Wilson
himself is personally handling the
mediation and peace overtures to the
exclusion of Secretary of State Bryan
and other Oficials.
