AMERICANS TOLD

State Department Advises All, In
Guiding Consuls, to Withdraw
from Danger Zones.

WASHINGTON, Sept 16.-American
consuls in northern Mexico which now
has become the chief battle ground be-
tween the contending factions, have
been advised by the state department
not only to notify American citizens to
withdraw from the danger zones, but
to leave Mexico themselves in the event
that conditions become intoIerable.
Secretary Lansing yesterday de-
seribed the instructions to consuls
which were issued several DAYS ago as
simply precautionary on. account Of
the disturbed conditions. They are
similar to those given to American con
suls in Europe whenever the contend
ing armies draw near cities previously
untouched by the fighting.
As soon as American citizens have
withdrawn there will be no necessity,

for the consuls to remain, but it was
denied that they had been ordered to
leave, discretion being vested in the
consuls themselves. 1t is expected

NEW YORK, Sept 16.-Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador, re
turned to New York yesterday and said
he did not expect any developments in
the Arabic controversy for at least two
weeks. He said he believed that in a
fortnight the questions in dispute would
have been settled to the satisfaction of
both the United States and of Germany.
Count Won Bernstorif said that, having
had an understanding with Secretary Lam
sing in his mind, there remains no ques-
ton that the negotiations now progressing
would end in manner that would leave
matters between this country and Ger
many on a much frmer- basis. The count

asked.

The ambassador refused to elucidate this
remark He added that there probably
would be no new developments for at least
two weeks.
He discussed the Hesperian incident, in
sisting in an informal way that his first
contention about that ship had now been
verified, despite what he called the sus
picion of the American people about that
ship. He also emphasized the fact that
under present conditions exchanges OF
communications with his government were
necessarily tedious proceeding, and thai
it was due to this fact that he fixed the
time for a settlement at two weeks. IL

PARIS, Sept. 16.-The Nouvelle Re-

Of INTEREST TO THE FARMERS

about using the remedy prescribed. but
it will do the business. 1t has been
frequently tested, and in practically
every case, the fields have been saved.
Near Logan a field was pointed out
to me by a widow. Ten days ago it
was as promising a piece of wheat as
could be found in Montana. Today it
is not worth a farthing. Whereas, the
field was green, it is now brown from
the deyastations of the cutworms. If
the poison had been applied in time,
the field would have been saved.
In the Helena valley many of the
fields are not SO far gone that they
may not be saved. In other instances
they are ruined. Farmers are not yet
fully aware of the immense loss that
may result to their crops from the de-
vastations of the army cutworm, but
bulletins are being sent out from the
agricultural college urging that they
take every precaution to prevent a
spread Of the pest.

THE WHEAT CROP.

The 1914 wheat crop of the United
States was estimated to be 89,000,000
bushels. The estimated surplus car
ried over from the 1913 crop was about
76,O0O,O00 bushels. There was, there
fore, an available supply of $4,000, 900
bushels. AS the normal annual per
capita consumption of wheat in the
United States is about 5.3 bushels,
$40, 100000 bushels should meet our
normal domestic requirements for
food; in addition, 90,O00.000 bushels
are required annually for seeding. Six
hundred ten million bushels, therefore,
should supply the normal domestic de-
mand. This would leave a surplus of
357 100000 bushels. OF this surplus
about 21O,000,O00 bushels were export
ed by January 30. This left 147,OO0,-
90 bushels, or 4O,000,O00 bushels more
than our average annual export for the
past five years, for export between
February and the appearance of the
new crop, or for carrying over into
the next crop year. The amount is
sufficient to permit the export of near
ly 10000 bushels day until July l,
before which time the new crop will
begin to be available. This is about
the average recent expectation.
! 1t would seem that the United States
is not likely to be threatened with a
shortage of foOdstuffs.

PLANT LICE Do SOME DAMAGE

Carl Peterson and Mr.. Howard Sea
mans, entomOlOgist from the State
Agricultural college at Bozeman, re-
turned Saturday night from another
search for any outbreak Of army cut
worms in this vicinity which might
have appeared. Mr.. Peterson reports
that they found few Of these worms.
but no more than would be likely to
appear at any time. They also found
few plant lice, these pests particu-
larly infesting the Kolin and Moccasin
districts These can be exterminated
by careful tillage of the affected
ground, and the experts advise the
planting of flax in fields which may be
completely destroyed by the lice.
Mr.. Peterson states that there need
be little fear of a bad outbreak OF the
army cutwOrm. However, this does
not mean that the farmers should give
them no further thought, as constant
watchfulness is advisable. Mr.. Sea
mans left yesterday morning. Mr..
Parker, another expert entOmolOgist
from Bozeman will arrive today to
