BARBERRY AIDS WHEAT RUST
on Common Shrub and Cereals
Seen in Indiana.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Further proof that there is a close
relationship between the rust of bar
berries and of wheat and other GER
eals has resulted in active campaigns
to eradicate the shrub in many COM
munities. Two rather striking cases of
this close relationship were observed
recently in Indiana. In one locality a
field of wheat, along one side of which
grew a barberry hedge, was practical.
" destroyed by the black stem rust.
The case was SO clear that II farm
ers held a field observation day under
the guidance of the county agent and
! Immediately drew up resolutions, in
which they stated that the relation was
so clear that they wished to go on
record as favoring legislation to erad-
icate all barberry bushes from the
state. In another case a hedge of bar
berry and two deep paintings were
found on farm upon which a wheat
field was so badly affected that the
crop was partial failure. A second
field near by was very seriously affect
ed also, as well as a number of fields
In the vicinity. Similar cases have
been observed in a number of other
states, and public sentiment favoring
the eradication Of the common bar
berry is growing rapidly. 1t is said
that Japanese barberry does not har-

Plow or spade that garden plot this

Leave the parsnips in the ground to
be dug as needed. 1t will not injure
them.
1t will please the kaiser to see lots

On many farms at the present time
there are small tracts of woodland
that might be profitably cleared.
Pick up, paint up and put up your
tools when you are through with
with them. 1t costs so little and saves
so much.
Manure may be profitably used on
ali crops, but will usually give greater
returns when applied on wheat, alfal-
ia, or clover.
Fallen leaves should be raked off
the lawn and piled in some out-of-the-
way place and allowed to decay. They
are useful in the garden when well
decayed.

These are not all the publications of

number of circulars and pamphlets
having a direct bearing on winning
the struggle are being issued. Then
there are the professional bulletins,
dealing in less popular form with re-

ture. In addition there are several
serial publications and the annual re-
ports and other congressional publica-
tions, including the department year

tended through all these classes.

Late faP any time before the
g.1und freezes-on most farms is the
e. lest time to provide for making the

And this year, when commercial fertil-
izors are high in price or impossible to
obtain, it is doubly essential that we
save every bit of the farm manure.
apply as fast as made" is the best
rule before the ground freezes, and
even later than that on level ground.
But in hilly sections the farmers
doubtless are right in thinking there
is too much loss from the manure
washing down the hillsides after the
ground freezes, or on the snow. Then,
too, in the North the snow is some
times too deep for hauling to be prac-
ticable.
Pit for Storing.
Most literature on the subject of pit
building for manure storage Is based
on using concrete for material. While
this will usually pay If capital is avail
able, many farmers feel they do, not
have the money to put into it. Fortu-
nately there are other ways that will
help greatly with little or no cash ex-
pense. If a roof is already available
under which to store the manure, the
ground should be 1eveled, or, better,
made to slope toward the center. Then,
if the soil is sandy or loamy. the sur
face should be removed to depth of
six inches or so and the heaviest clay
procurable put in. After spreading

CORN A CHAMPION CROP

Corn, on q given area, will pro-
duce more human food than any
other crop commonly grown on
American farms. This crop
heads the list in units Of energy
produced per acre, and is ahead
of all other crops except navy
beans and soy beans in tissue
building material. In the latter
element soy beans far outclass
all other crops, showing nearly
twice as much protein per acre
as navy beans, which rank sec
ond in this regard.
The dairy COW is the most eff
eient of farm animals in the pro-
duction of human food (milk)
and the hog is the most efficient
in the conversion of grain into
meat, producing five times as
much per acre of crops as does
any other animal.
These facts and others are
told in the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture's Farmers

For centuries GOLD MEDAL HARLEM
Oil has been standard household remedy
for kidney, liver, bladder and stomach
trouble, and all diseases connected with
the urinary organs. The kidneys and blad-
der are the most important organs of the
body. They are the filters, the purifiers of
your blood. If the poisons which enter
your system through the blood and stom-
ach are not entirely thrown out by the
kidneys and bladder, you are doomed.
Weariness, sleeplessness, nervousness,
dependency, backache, stomach trouble,
headache, pain in loins and lower abdo-
men, gall stones, gravel, difficulty when
urinating, cloudy and bloody urine, rheu-
matism, sciatica and lumbago, all warn you
to look after your kidneys and bladder.
All these Indicate some weakness of the
kidneys or other organs or that the enemy

system have attacked your weak spots.

Clean Up Garden,

II you had trouble with potato bugs,
cutworms, or plant diseases this sea-
son you can do great deal toward
controlling these pests next year by
giving the garden a thorough house
cleaning this fall. Many kinds of in
sects that feed on garden crops and
diseases that affect vegetables pass
through the winter protected by or on
the remains of the plants. Old cab
bage stalks, tomato vines and similar
material should be collected and burn
ed. The ground itself should be spad-
ed and sowed to rye or crimson clov-
er, or If neither of these crops can be
planted the ground should be allowed
to lie rough so that freezing will de-
stroy as many insects as possible.

Descending From the Mount.

but we do not tarry there. The
streams take their rise in the uplands,
but quickly descend to gladden. the

LESSEN STRAIN ON BRIDGES
Runways of Plank Laid Lengthwise
Enable Automobiles to Pass Over
Without Vibration.

A majority of the highway bridges
in a region in the Southwest have been
provided with runways of planks laid,
lengthwise, says Popular, Mechanics
In passing over them automobiles
make practically no noise, and because
the resulting vibration is very much
less than when running on the bridge
floor itself, made of planks placed
crosswise, the wear and tear on the
structure is reduced. The improve
ment makes it unnecessary for cars to
slow down.

couple of inches of clay it should be
wetted and thoroughly tamped down.
This process hould be repeated until
the desired height is obtained. The
outside rim may well be foot or more
higher than the center, this depending
Oh the size of the pit and the ease of
access for hauling away the manure.
While such a bottom will hold much
of the liquid, it is better to cover it
with some absorbent material-dry
loam is good if bedding is scarce. Do
not use wood ashes, but coal ashes are
harmless If screened. Continue to use
enough loan to prevent any liquid
from Oozing from the pile which
should be kept level, moist aAd well
tamped. Horse manure, unless mixed
with that from cows or hogs, should
be wetted thoroughly-but not enough
to drain out-in order to keep it from
heating, as heating causes q heavy
loss.
Keep Under Roof.
If there is no roof under which to
keep the manure, a cheap one should
be built. This may be one-siope
'lean-to" along the outside of the
barn, cheap shed with sides, or sim
ply four heavy, high posts on which
a roof slides up or down according to
the height of the manure-such as is
used in some sections for outdoor hay
stacks. ~ r5f

Steuedore Regiment
To Be Mobile Unit
[Staf Correspondence1

WASHINGTON, March 14.-The new
stevedore regiment being formed by
the War Department will be stationed
at Staten island, but its members will
be subject to transfer to any port on
the Atlantic Coast where needed, it
was officially stated at the department
tonight.
"Plans for the regiment were worked
out with the cooperation of the officers
of the International Longshoremen or
ganization," War Department official
stated. "and its use will largely be de-
termlned by the needs arising at all
embarkation points on the Atlantic
Coast.
"The regiment will be employed tenn
porarlly where strikes occur through
the action Of individual unions falling
to carry out the agreements made by
the international organizations. In no
sense, however, is the regiment or
ganized for the purpose OF taking the
places of the present longshoremen
employed at ports. 1t is our desire
only to see that the work of the army
in loading and unloading of ships is
not interrupted, and the stevedore regi-
ment will assure us of sufficient men
to make this possible in any cmer-
gency."

Stevedores Form
A Regiment to
Keep Port Open
Goethals to Have Organ
ization Ready for Any
Emergency

T. V. O'Connor, international pres
ident of the Longshoremen's Union,
yesterday authorized the statement
that regiment of stevedores was be-
ing formed to handle any emergency,
including strikes, that might interfere
to Euroys from the Port Of New York.
This regiment, Mr.. O'Connor said,
is being recruited under the direction
of Major General Goethals, Acting
Quartermaster General, by Lieutenant
Colonel P. M. Merzig, who was associ
ated with General Goethals in the dig
ging of the Panama Canal.
"The regiment" said MIR. O'Connor,
"will not interfere with free labor, but
it will be used in the case of strikes
called in violation of agreements, and
where men walk out on a job as they
have done in Hobokcn.
There is too much talk about
strikes, anyway. There is not going
tidewater boatmen or the lightermen
or others decide to strike, as they have
been talking, they will strike without
the approval OF the international or
ganization.'
"There have been such strikes with
out the approval Of the international
officers" Mr.. O'Connor was reminded.
"That is true" he replied, "but any
union that may strike without the APP
proval of the international will not
have the support of the organization
or of the members that abide by the
rules"
Speaking of the stevedores' req
ment, Mr.. O'Connor said it was being
formed to "handle any emergency that
may arise in this port" He added that
he had declined an offer to be colonel
of the regiment.
"Would a strike be considered an
he was asked.
"If it affected government work
yes," he replied. at will be used in
any strike that would interfere with
the loading of transports or ships car
rying military supplies. 1t will not be
used in competition with free labor. If
'longshoHmen violate the agreement to
arbitrate everything and strike, the
regiment will be called into action"
The new regiment, it is understood,
will be quartered on Staten Island. Of
the men already holding commissions
in it several have been associated with
Mr.. O'Connor in the affairs of the
'longshoremen's union.
