(Prepared by the United States Depart

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.

Mr. Gerard Coltinues a sphynx. As
well try to interview the 'Eiffel tower
as obtain from the ex-ambassador any
exprcssion whatsoever on the fateful
week that followed the day of the (ilp
lomatic break between the United
States and Germany. 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. It is not dotled among his
party that the state department by
this time is in possession of all the

WHAT GERARD REALLY SAID.
"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
