Missiano offered to take him to his

overwhelmed with Missiano's attention,
gladly accepted the invitation. After

HERE ON STILL HUNT
FOR BARBERRY BUSHES

R. F. HURT, special agent of the
state department OF agriculture re-
Gently named by Commissioner Hagen,
is in Bismarck on a still hunt for
barberry bushes. He probably will
find few. A number of beautiful bar
berry hedges in the capital city have
been sacrificed this spring to the rust
theory of Professor Bolley. 1t is
doubtful whether any is left.
Those of us who have barberry in
our lawns and gardens may do a great
deal toward our bit in this great world
war by destroying the wheat rust
producing bush, and particularly by
doing it at once, before the harm has
been done,' said Mr.. HURT this morn
ing.
Thos who have already destroyed
their barberry hedges have saved both
time and expense, states Mr.. HURT,
as from now on the barberry, bush
will be "busily engaged doing its bit
for Germany, inasmuch as the pres
ence of this bush within our borders
will greatly reduce our wheat yield
by producing and harboring the des-
tructive black rust @ se7s.
