There is no more prosperous COM
nsunity In the world which lives by
agricultural enterprises than that in
our western states. Very large num-
bcrs Of these people are Germans

called into advise on the war loan
to the allies. And he said that as
a business and ethical proposition
seen in the lights Of our laws and
our worldwide relationship 1t was
a wise thing to do. ut was for the
good of Europe, for the good Of the
United States. And in the long run
would prove blessing to the world.
And moreover, the Germanic con-
federation had just like right to bor-
row money or secure credit as the
allies had. And I know that this
opinion exercised an extensive and
q heneiicient influence Ia all circles
concerned. It is to be noted IN this

Guncotton Amber.

Nitrocotton that produces such pow
erful powder also produces a beautiful
imitation of amber. Claim is made
that if one buys a meerschaum pipe
with an amber piece six inches long at
what seems to be an unusually low
price, one may rely upon it being col
lodion-a solution of guncottOn in eth
er. The cloudy effect which some
smokers like is produced by a large
amount of camphor in the solution.
Nitrocotton also produces a fine sub
stitute for tortoise shell.

TOBACCO PLANT PESTS
Large Annual Loss Caused by
Work of Insects.
HornWorns, Cu.Worms and erase
hoppers Cause Growers Greatest
Concern-Poison Is One of the
Best Methods of Control.

The tobacco plant is attacked to an
Injurious extent by large number Of
different kinds of insects. The insects
which ordinarily cause the growers
the greatest concern are the horn
worms tobacco worms), cutworms
and grasshoppers. OF minor impor-
lance, in that they occur only rarely
and do less damage, are the flea
beetles, white grubs and wireworms.
These insects are not limited to to-
bacco, but may occur upon a number
OF other plants, such as potatoes, to-
matoes and jimson weed. In certain
seasons the ravages of hornworms,
cutworms and grasshoppers are suf-
hcient to reduce the profits of indi-
v1dual growers one-half. In fact, the
growers regard it as very rare and
fortunate season when one or the
other of these pests do not reduce the
profits or cause extra work and ex-
pense.
The methods of control of any in
sect are based largely upon a knowl-
edge of its life history, manner of feed
ing, habits and enemies. 1t is very
desirable. therefore. that the grower
