REAL ESTATE
TO BEGIN WORK
ON CITY BUDGET
Commissioners to Be Asked
Monday For Estimates; Tax
Possibilities

City departmental heads will be
asked Monday by City Clerk Charles
4. Miller to prepare their estimates of
possible expenditures for the 1917
budget. For the next few weeks the
commissioners of public safety, public
affairs, finance. parks and improve
ments will be busy figuring upon how
much they can manage their depart
ments and-not raise the tax rate.
The tax rate possibilities are still in
the air, of course. but it is generally
conceded in city circles that real par
ing must be done il the present rate
of nine and half mills is to be re-
tanned. Ten mills. many of the city
officials contend, would just about let
the municipality end next year with
out a deficit.

Wheat in the fields in and about
Bismarck have been seriously danag
Ell by ravages of black rust and the
, crop this year will be greatly below
par. Through the courtesy of George
| WEIGH of the firm of French & WEIGH
of this city, representative Of the
| Tribune was taken on an investiga
ton of the wheat fields in this vicini
ty yesterday and this fact was deter
mined after wheat in many fields
had been examined. Under the able
guidance of Mr.. WEIGH, many valua'
BILE bits of information were gathered
as to crop prospects for this season.
Mr. WEIGH is an authority on wheat
and other crops grown in Burleigh
county and he states that never be-
fore has he seen the wheat damaged
to such a great extent by black rust.
Excellent crops of oats, barley, rye
and macaron wheat will be cut this
season, but the rust has so badly af-
fected the Marquis, Bluestem and Fife
varieties of wheat that the yield this
year will be greatly below normal.

Rust, which is causing so much
damage to wheat, is tiny plant para
site that works its way in below the
outer covering of the stalk and there
propagates, bursting the leaf. It
makes it impossible for the kernels
forming in the head to get moisture;
therefore, they are small and of infe-
rior quality Red rust is the first
stage. The young plants formed
from the red rust may be either red
rust or black rust. 1t is red rust in
the early part of the season and black
in the latter. .... ........ r.
The black rust has a heavier outer
covering, is two-celled, and is the
stage at which the rust winters, lying
in the ground or in the straw. In the
spring 1t sends forth with its stored
up food plant that produces spores
that work their way through the
leaves of barberries or other hosts
and there propagate in cluster cups.
From these spores the red rust is
formed.
At the outset of the present season
it was estimated by experts that the
crop yield this year would be equal
to that of last season, if not exceed
ing it. This opinion was maintained
until the latter portion of July, in
fact, the last week, to be exact, when
the excess moisture and the terrific
rays of the sun got in their work.
Stops were made at various fields
every stalk of wheat in the fields
and extends from the lower extrem-
ity almost to the kernels themselves.
The stalks are rough and uneven and
