One of the m<At important of these pests-leafhoppers-are consumned by 100 different kinds of feathered ene liles in the southeastern states and a score or iore species of birds feed on the various kinds of clover weevils. There are many bird enemies of truck crop pests also in the southeast.

SOUTHEASTERN BIRI (Prepared by the United States Depart ment or Agriculture.) The southern farmer is lndebted to most of the 460 species of birds fou1nd In the Southeast for destroylng vari ous insects whleh attack his field crops, garden truck, forage plants, and fruit. Of these birds, at least 00 spe cles are of service fi desi.coying the cotton boll weevil, which Is steadily extending its activities throughout the southeastern states. 'The most active of the 00 feathered enemies of the boll weevil, it was found, are the orioles, which are among the few birds actually taking the insects from the squares of the cotton plant, and the swallows, which feed on the weevil while the latter are In flight seeking to exteid their range.

Nor will any one oflicially identifIed with Mir. Ger ard say a word regarding the treat ment accorded the representative of the t'nited States by the German gov erinent. This mitch, however, Is beyond any doubt or debate, that the ex-ambassa dor virtually was held a prisoner for fully a week, that'the delivery of his passports was delayed for four days, and that some of the newspaper cor respondents did not receive theirs until four hours before the "Gerard special" plulled out of Berlin. M1r. Gerard Is known to have sent to Washington during the last 48 houirs a lengthy, confidential mes sage.

"I'll Stay Here Until Hell Frezes 0v. er," Ie Told Montgelas, According to Dispatch from Paris, ParIs, Feb. 15.-That qluotation from James W. Gerard's reply to the Ger man "hostage threat' was all wrong. Mr. Gerard did not say he would "isit here until kingdom come." What he really said-and this comes from an unassailable source, indeed, from one who hcard him say it, was: "Then I'll stay here until hell freezes over." It was this typically American an swer, it now develops, given with an earnestness that left no room for doubt, that convinced Count Montge las, of the American department of the imperial German foreign oillce, that Mr. Gerard would "call" any hand. Wherefore Count Montgelas prom pt ly threw into the riscard his threat to hold American newspapermen as host ages if Gerard persisted in his re fusal to sign the amendment to the treaty of 1779, guaranteeing safe con duct to all German ships from Aimer Cash 1\ in Hipp k e We will sell fo not for evE advar *aa i And Rei W4 expect tolhavi will handle beef, On he Grocery si 'ra- in fact every Call ar'ound the German capital.
