tremely weak, however, No 2 grades
selling off IT cents a bushel from yes
terday,s high figure, which induced
liquidation OF the futures and a sharp
setback, only a small portion Of which
was recovered at close. The forecast
for warmer weather was regarded as
favorable for growing crop. The action
of cash market Is not regarded as Of
great significance as far as the ulti-
mate course OF the new crop futures
as concerned, as It is generally con-
coded that very little old corn will be
carried into the new crop.
Oats were exceeding weak, despite
the fact that very large export sales
are claimed for the first four days Of
the week and that houses with eastern
connections were conspicuous buyers
Of futures today. Weather extremely
favorable for threshing of crop that
has had practically no adversely.

Chicago, Aug. i7-Corn prices rallied
today owing more or less to absence
OF any important fresh developments
pointing to a likelihood of peace. At

result Of continuation of recent sales
by holders. Leading houses, tho, We're

soon headed upgrade. Opening quota

with December at lib to 1.13k, and
May at 1.10ss and 1.10ss, were follow
ed by an ascent all around to slightly

A sharp downturn came about later
because Of the withdrawal of virtually

Wheat.
Export interests were said to be buy
ing wheat here and at other points

terms for immediate delivery. Trading
in the September option appeared to
have entirely ceased and no compari-

by the cabbage looper, the regular
arsenical sprays may be used accord
ing to the following formula:
Lead arsenic paste, two pounds;
water, so gallons; any hard soap to
make the spray stick to leaves, two
pounds.
Dissolve soap in little boiling
water and add enough water to make
SO gallons. Add arsenic paste to this
water. The mixture should be kept
agitated while using to prevent lead
arsenic from settling. Spray, do not
sprinkle.
Thrips
Another insect causing consider
able damage in some localities In this
county is a minute yellowish-brown,
slender-bodied active one known as
thrips. These tiny insects may in
jure first one crop and then another.
They attack the flower preventing eff
fective fertilization and therefore
proper development of the fruit.
Among the host of plants are the
following: Alfalfa, apple, asparagus,
aster, blackberry, cherry, clover,
grape, orange, pea, peach, pear,
plum, potato, raspberry, rose, squash,
strawberry, wheat and many Guilt
waited flowers.
These insects thrive best in hot.
dry weather when the plants are
least able to resist them. On small
fields, drenching the plants with a
hose is known to be effective.
For spraying use either stock solu-
ton of kerosene emulsion part to
Is parts of water, or black-leaf 40,
1 part to 1900 parts of water.
Spraying is most effective against
adults when the cluster buds begin
to open and against the larvae when
the blossom petals begin to fall. The
insects hibernate in the litter left on
the fields; in Grassy borders and in
nearby stubblefields After harvest,
all refuse should be cleaned up and
destroyed and in so far as possible,
burn over all alternating places.
Fall and winter cultivation will kill
most of the insects.

REFUGEES NEED FUNDS
Getting Money to Americans Flee
ing From Germany Is Problem.

LONDON, Feb. 2O.-The problem of
getting funds to American refugees
from Germany now in Holland and
Denmark is worrying American resi-
dents here. Dispatches from Copen-
hagen today estimated the number of
Americans there waiting transporta-
tion back home at about 500. Many
were said to be almost without funds.
A considerable number are United
States Government officials.
Holland dispatches today said those
American consular officials who did
not depart from Germany on the spe-
cial embassy train which bore Am
bassador Gerard are preparing to
leave via Switzerland. Other Ameri-
cans. however. are not being permit
ted to leave except via Denmark.
One exception to this rule was made
in the case of Miss Marie Haviland. of
New York. Berne dispatches today
said she had reached that point after
an arduous trip from Warsaw. Ger
man officials took all of her money
except $500, declaring IT was a rule
not to permit those leaving the coun-
try to take away more than that
amount.

PORTO RICAN BILL PASSED
Senate Drops Porvislon For Wom-

The Porto Rico bill, providing civil
reorganization for the island, passed
the Senate today without a roll call.
Threat of filibuster at the last mo-
ment caused the striking out of pro-
visions which would have let down
the bars to women voters, thus con-
stituting the first act of the Federal
Government in the direction of
national woman suffrage.
The bill carries a sweeping extern
sion of the ballot to practically all in
habitants, making them eligible to
vote at the 1917 elections under exist
ing Porto Rican law, and to United
States citizens subject to local resi-
Dental and similar restrictions.
The Porto Rican legislature is en-
powered to restrict or extend exercise
of the ballot, as in the case of any

The island is voted bone dry. sub
