Manhattan, Kan.. Aug. 15.-Reports
that the garden webworm IL seriously
injuring alfalfa have been received by
George A. Dean, entomologist of the
Kansas State Agricultural college and
experiment station. This insect has
several times been found q serious
enemy to alfalfa in Kansas. It may
also attack corn and garden truck.
The compl te life cycle of the moth
occupies about q month in midsum-
mer, and in Kansas there are three or
four generations q year. The eggs
are laid on the food plant and when
they hatch, the worms begin feeding
and spin fine web which gradually
envelopes the plant.
The trouble is not usually noticed,
Professor Dean says, until the plants
are seriously damaged. As soon as it
is observed. the alfalfa should be cut
in order that as much of it az possible
may be saved for hay. II it is full OF
the web and the droppings Of the
worms, it should not be fed to horses,
but may be fed to cattle.
The larv2e feed normally on the
pigweed, Professor Dean says. and the
blowing of infested weed fields in late
autumn or winter and the thorough
dislking of alfalfa will largely control
the pest. On garden crops, 1t may be
destroyed by spraying or busting with
paris green or lead arsenate.

Platte, s.. D., Dec. 15.-To pretend

EUROPEAN HATRED

And While Sentimental Trade
Boycott Continues Through

Washington, Dec. t5.-Thc close OF
the European war will see the United
States firmly established in possession
of a share of the worlds rad never
before gained by American manufacture
ers in the opinion of DR.. w. A. D. Neditz,
commercial attache OF the embassy at
Paris, who left here today for his post.
d. Veditz is one of the nine attaches
already selected by Secretary Redfiold
and his field of operations covers tho
greater part Of southern Europe.
European countries, now at war
have hitherto provided 42.2 per cent or
the worlds total export trade Dr.
Veditz said before his departure.
They have sold to other nations SIS
100000, GOO worth of goods annually.
Much of this trade has been destroyed.
COMMERCIAL speaking Belgium no long
er exists and Gcrmany's foreign trade
is but q fraction Of What it used to be.
Franc is busy with other Things tAan
commerce and e England, despite
her naval supremacy, has had to re-
adjust herself commercially to an IN
tirely new and restricted situation.
Russia has expressed in no uncertain
terms a most friendly attitude towards
American im~portations."
Sentimental Boycott.
Il look for q readiustment of COM
nlefClal regulations at the close OF the
war which will put us inevitably in a
position to do an increasing share of
the worlds trade if we really want it.
To help get that trade is the chief
function of the commercial attaches.
rhe is bound to be a sentimental
boycott for many years on the part of
the belligerent nations against the
goods of their enemies. Germans Will
not. buy English, French or Russian
goods, if they can help it and it is
safe to say that German goods will not
become popular with the allies or that
Belgium will regard with favor the
goods marked made in Germany now
why should not American goods take
the place of commodities from coun-
tries that arc tabooed?
Everybody knows this war is costing
the participating nations billions of dol
lars. That money must be raised ul-
timately by taxation and of course the
manufacturers viii come in for the
ions share Of the new burden. If this
means anything, it means increased cost
Of production n increased cost of
production is apt to mean an increase
in selling prices sufficient to handi-
cap selling to neutral markets.

unta Arenas Is Haven of

IT Is Uninjured.

Valparaiso, Chile. Dec. 15.-Dispatch-
es received here from Punta Arenas,
declare that the German cruiser Ores
den has ome into that port uninjured.
This location of the German cruiser
Dresden at Punta Arenas on the strait
OF Magellan, clears up all doubt as to
the whereabouts OF the last OF the
German warships that encountered the
British squadron December s off the
Falkland islands. The Gneisenau,
~Scharnhorst, Leipzig and Nurnbers
were sunk; the Dresden escaped and
has been pursued by British w%arships.
Her presence at Punta Arenas means
that she was either e~ndeavoring to
reach the Pacific again or that she
contemplates interning for the remain
der of the war. Punta Arenas is q
Chilean port. The Strait of Magellan
IS narrow. British warships doubtless
are at it's Atlantic entrance and Jana
nese cruisers are aid to be either
watching or not far from the approach
