Good Merchandise Today Is Standardized,
Advertised Merchandise

And it can be purchased at home just as well
as from a mail order house.
And in buying it at home the money spent for
it is kept at home
Here are a few figures which show the terrible
grip the mail order houses have on small commune
ties
One mail order house received 100000 orders,
accompanied by $1,625OOO in cash. in one day last
February
The gain made by mail order firm in 1916
over 1915 was 3033 per cent. The earnings for
1916 were $16489,OOO
1t has been estimated that about twenty per
cent of the purchases from small communities 90 to
mail order houses
Concentration of the countrys money power
within Wall Street reverted against the best nterets
of the people, until finally the government had to
take hand, and, as result we now have Federal
Reserve Banks.
If people continue to foster the mail order octo-
pus business will concentrate in the big cities, and
we shall have no worthwhile, small community
stores.
In that event the government may be compelled
to step in and open up merchandise distributing
agencies.
But it is difficult to conceive of such condition.
1t does seem possible that people in any commu-
nifty will allow their stores their merchants 60
the bow vows and their property to decrease in val
because of the petty saving which they think can
be made by buying from mail order house.
No. they won't allow it.
We're strong for the Buy 1t in the Home Town
idea, because when carried out it spells prosperity
for the community.

NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL SAVINGS
AND LOAN ASSOCIATION
OF Fargo, N. D. Statement of condt-
ton at close of business, December 30,
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1917-01-18

rust lives year to year in the seed
grain. Recent experiments throw con-
siderable doubt on this idea. It may
live in the red stage throughout the
winter on volunteer grains or wild
grasses. To what extent it does this
is not known. 1t lives over commonly
in the black rust stage, passes to bar
berry in the spring, and again passes
from barberry to grasses or cereals.
If it passes to grasses first, it may
pass from many wild grasses to Ger
calls, but not from all grasses to all
cereals. ...
what Favors Development.
Conditions must be right for initial
infection in the spring, that is, there
must be supply of injecting material
The weather conditions must be favor
able for the development of rust, but
weather does not cause rust. 1t Is gen
orally stated that a considerable
amount of soil moisture, and especially
nitrogen in the soil, predisposes plants
to rust attack. The cereals seem to be
quite susceptible when they are in a
succulent, vigorously growing condi-
ton. Not ali varieties Of wheat are
attacked equally severely, by the stem
rust. The hard spring wheats are. as
a whole, very easily attacked, while
the Durum wheats as a group are quite
resistant to the rust. However, not all
Durums are resistant"
Possible Methods OF Control.
The speaker named the. following
methods of control: Seed selection,
care in soil fertilization, elimination of
volunteer grains and wild grasses,
eradication of barberry, and the grow
ing of resistant, Durum wheats, or
breeding new varieties of wheats which
are resistant.
"only the last two of these seem to
be really practicable" continued the
speaker. ut is not known definitely
whether or not the general eradication
of barberry would reduce the amount
of rust materially. However, in Den
mark the eradication of barberry is
said to have decreased the severity of
the rust very greatly, Since the cereal
crops of Minnesota, North Dakota,
South Dakota and Montana alone have
a farm value of considerably over
$500, 100000, and since the value of bar
berry is extremely small in proportion
to this, it would seem that all farmers
should voluntarily destroy their own
barberries and that laws might be
enacted providing, at least that no
more barberries. should be- planted.
Progress has already been made in
bredeing rust resistant wheats which
have good milling quality. The work
is progressing and may yield valuable
results"

Scientists Agree That
Burberry Bush Must Go

Scientists of the northwest agree
that the barberry is one, and without
doubt the most dangerous carrier"
or spreader of grain rust and that it
must go and a resolution will be pre-
scented to the Tri-state Grain Grow
ers' convention tomorrow in which the
farmers present will be asked to ex-
press themselves in favor Of the
eradication Of this shrub. z-s
The farmers attending the conven-
ton yesterday afternoon were given
an intimate introduction to the dan
gers Of this plant by DR.. E. G. Stake
man, plant pathologist Of the Uni
versity Of Minnesota. who spoke on
Wheat Rust and Methods Of Control.
ence of plant pathologists which was
attended by Prof. A. H. Reginald
Butler, professor of botany at the
University OF Manitoba, who has
spent the past week in North Dakota
and Minnesota studying the rust
problem; DR.. Stakeman, M. A. Carl
ton Of the u. s. department Of agri-
culture. and Prof. H. L. Bolley of the
North Dakota Agricultural college.
The four plant pathologists at the
conference last night agreed that the
barberry is a menace and all are fav-
orable to its eradication and will
present the resolutions to the conven-
ton tomorrow afternoon when the
resolutions OF the session are to be
offered for action by the convention.
a Butler Sees Menace.
In an interview with representa-
tive of The Forum this morning Pro-
lessor Butler Of the University of
Manitoba said that there Is not the
least doubt that the barberry bush is
the greatest menace that the wheat
growers OF the northwest have to con-
tend with at the present time and
while the barberry may not be the
only medium Of transmitting the dis
ease, it is without a doubt the great
est spreader of the fungus.

in the provinces north Of here" said
Professor Butler, land I was sent
down here especially for the purpose

Of studying the proposition and have
been a week in Minnesota and North
Dakota.
IT have had occasion to study the
barberry as transmitter Of rust and
there is not the least doubt regarding
it's being the greatest spreader of the
disease spores in existence.
"Of course there will be opposition
to its destruction and the problem to
be faced is an educational and legis-
lative one. There will be many OPP
posed to the eradication of the bar
berry, but through education those
opposing the elimination Of the plant
will not be selfish enough to stand in
the way Of the farmer who is losins
the results of his labor, especially as
the barberry, while ornamental, has
no real economic value"
Professor Bolley has been one of
the first to take up the fight against
the barberry and the result of his re-
search at the experiment station has
proven to him that the shrub is a
real menace.
. DR.. Stakeman's Talk.
The address of DR.. Stakeman yes
terday afternoon has, been one Of the
most important that has been deliv-
cred at this session Of the Grain
Growers as it touched on the most
vital problem that the northwestern
farmer is facing at the present time,
especially since the scourge of rust
last season.
Speaking of losses due to rust. DR..
Stakeman said:
Probably $4,000, 600 in Minnesota.
North and South Dakota in 1904. Es-
timated at, at least, $150,000,000 in
the United States in 1916. The dam
age is sometimes confused with the
damage due to drouth, poor growing
conditions and other diseases, espe-
cially scab and variety of root rots,
as pointed out by Prof. Bolley.
Rust is probably not increasing in
amount" said DR.. Stakeman. "S:hce
the earliest times people have suffered
from losses due to rust. References
can be found to the ravages Of rust
before the birth Of Christ. AS a mat
ter of fact, rust was so serious in the
Roman Empire that festivals were
held to attempt to ward Off the dis
ease.

"Rust is a disease Of cereals and
wild grasses, caused by a specific
grows inside of the affected plant and
produces it's spores (seed) in the form
of reddish powder in the summer, and
later, in the form Of a black mass on
the affected grain. There are two
kinds Of rust common in this section
of the country on cereals: namely, the
stem rust sometimes also called
black rust) and the orange leaf rust
sometimes called red rust). Each
rust has a red and black stage. The
black stage Of stem rust, which is the
more serious, passes from wheat or
other grains or grasses to barberry,
and ornamental shrub, and from the
barberry again passes to grains or
grasses in the spring.

AID IN RELIEF
(By H. D. Paulson)


Bismarck, N. D., Jan. IS. - State
Sen. ]. A. Englund, of Ward county
proposes that the United States and
Canada get together on the question
Of conducting certain drainage work
that would care for the surplus waters
Of the Mouse river, which now mum
dates a considerable expanse OF North
Dakota farm lands from year to year.
1t appears that the channel in this
country is we'll ditched, but in Canada,
a short distance north Of the boundary
line, there is what is known as Coulee,
or Dry creek. When food waters of
the Mouse river are high, the water
is turned from that stream into Des
Laos lake, by way Of Coulee, or Dry
creek.
Now Senator Englund proposed. in
his concurrent resolution introduced
today, to have the United States ar
range with Canada for work that will
prevent the surplus waters from going
into Des Laos lake, by blocking the
channel Of the coulee.
