BoTANisT MAY GIVES TIMELY
SUGGESTIONS ON MIlkWEEO

Stoclmen and farmers OF Delta
county within the past year have had
their attention called to the whorled
milkweed. which has been causing
great deal of loss of horses, cattle
and sheep all over the Western Slope.
The State Experiment Station hos
been carrying on a series Of expert
ments in the Mortezuma valley to
determine some method of eradicatins
the plant as farmers have experienced
considerable difficulty in trying to rid
their land of it While these expert
ments are not yet completed and
those having charge of the work are
not yet ready to say that any treat
ment is absolutely sure to get the
plant there are certain indications
growing out of the work which should
be of some help to those who have the
milkweed. in guiding them as the best
method to attack the plant. The fol
lowing principles seem to be fairly

year:

The earlier the work is begun the
more times it was necessary to re-

method giving most promising results
so far is the one which goes as deep

Experiment Station is continuing this
experimental work end hopes to es-

present time those who have charge
OF the work wish to place in the hand
of the farmer such information as is

digliani and Treves, leaders of the old

discredit to the whole party.
The general feeling in the Hobbies is
the present parliament cannot sur
vive beyond the dying year. Socialists
apparently intend to sabotage parlia-

appeal to the country which, aroused
from political indifference by the
present conditions, will vote in d
larger percentage. thereby reducing
the socialistic group within more rea-
sonable dimensions.
The general strike is causing wide

AS DIRECT RESULT
OF A Gas ATTACK

Roswell, N. M, Dec. S.-Lieut.
Col. Charles De Bremond died sunday
as the direct result of a gas attack IN
the Chateau Thierry offensive IN the
spring of 1918 Colonel De Bremond
has been in a serious condition since
last spring. He was So years Of age
and was the commander OF Battery A,
the organization in which all New
Mexico took so much interest, even
before the beginning of the European
war.
He came to Carlsbad in 1891 direct
from Switzerland, where he was
captain in the Swiss army He moved
to Roswell in 1895 and started to de-
yelop 500-acre farm tract east OF
Roswell as we'll as entering the sheep
industry. His farm later came to be
one of the show places of the Peeos
valley and is today one of the best
large farms in the valley. He was not
only successful in his farming but his
livestock interests were equally profit
able. .
He was commissioned first lieuten-
ant of Battery A while Captain Muir
ray was in command and became cap
tain of the battery in 1913. 1t was
through his personality, his untiring
efforts and his constant study OF ar
tilIery that the local organization al
tanned such high standing. he TOOK
the battery to the border in May, 1915,
and the organization quickly obtained
recognition over other national guard
organizations. 1t was stationed at
Fort Bliss during the greater part OF
the border trouble. returning to Ros-

TWO MEN AND TWO MULES.

ALLIES MODIFY TERMS
TO GERMANY REGARDING
SHIP TONNAGE DEMANDS


Paris, Dec. 8.-The allies have con-
sented to modify some of the terms OF
the protocol putting the peace treaty
into effect to which Germany mas
made objection. The clause providing
for indemnity for the destruction OF
the German fleet at Scapa Flow mas
been modified so as to refer to The
Hague tribunal the question whether
the delivery of the tonnage demanded
will cripple Germany, it is understood.
The understanding is that other fea-
lures of the protocol most objection
able to the Germans have been eilml-
mated. 1t is expected that the German
pIenipotentiaries will sign the proto-
col without much further delay.
The final paragraph of the protocol,
providing that even after the peace
treaty has gone into effect, the allies
might use military measures of coer-
cion to insure the execution of the
treaty's terms has been eliminated en-
tirely, as also has the clause relating
to the evacuation Of the Baltic prov
inces by German troops,

Paris, Dec. S.-There were sensa-
tons on the French stock exchange
today when foreign exchange rates
again took an upward climb. Most
noteworthy Of mention was that the
dollar, which daily has been slowly
reaching higher levels, finished at 10
francs 30 confines on the French
Bourse. The English pound closed ut
40 francs 40 centimes. Normal ex'
change is francs 20 centimes to tho
dollar and IS francs to the pound
Spanish pesetas, which are normal
ly worth rs confines (15 cents,
closed today at more than 2 francs.
Such quotations show Frances poor
financial industrial situation. Urgent
help appears to be needed. On the
other hand it is apparent the country
has not yet settled down to peace
time work Its imports are still far
in excess of pre-war figures, while
exports get gradually less.
There is a shortage Of raw material
in the country, which is made double
by the high rates of exchange turning
away French firms from buying in
England. America or Spain.

Silver City Enterprise: The White
Signal branch of the Grant county
farm and livestock bureau has been
successful in bringing into existence
the first salt pool in this section of
the country and thereby, through or
ganization, removed one of the diff
culties under which the ranchers
have labored for many years.
Under the new arrangement the
placing of the salt on the range of the
entire district is in the hands of a
committee and the salt is distributed
at the same time and the supply
maintained, an allowance of ten
pounds of salt per head of cattle be-
ing allowed, IS per cent of which is
to go on the open range and Is per
cent in the home corralS.
The pool was perfected when every
rancher in the district signed an
agreement covering a twoyear period
by which each agrees to put into the
pool, for the purchase of salt the
sum of 10 cents per head year. A
saving of Sc per ton in salt price was
effected,
