cause of congested transportation,
caused many poultry keepers to cur
tail production or reduce stocks on
hand. AS was inevitable under the
circumstances, the sections of the East
where poultry keeping was most high
ly specialized were most affected.
Shortage of feed in drought-stricken
areas In the West and Southwest also
led to reduction of poultry stocks on
general farms in those areas.
Elsewhere flocks appear to have
been maintained at about normal num-
bers, and in some places slightly In
creased. Reports of heavy selling in
sections where feed is sufficient have
In many cases failed to take into ac-
count the disposition of the stock sold.
1t has usually been assumed that all
stock sold went TO slaughter. Some
reports, however, state that many hens

estates are called upon to help by
digging out and destroying this spread
err of stem rust.
How serious the black rust is to the
bread supply of the nation may be
Judged from the fact that this disease
was the principal factor in reducing
the yield Of wheat alone in North Da-
kota, South Dakota, Montana and Min
nesota by nearly 200, 900, 900 bushels in
1916.
The common barberry bush (Ber-
beris vulgaris), including the purple
leaved variety, nurses the black stem
rust through one of its stages. helps
It develop, and enables it to spread
to the grains in the spring and early
summer. The most direct method of
attacking this rust is TO keep common
barberry bushes out of wheat-growing
regions.
The effect of q single barberry bush
may extend for miles. They should
be dug and destroyed throughout the
upper Mississippi valley, especially in
the following states: Montana, Wyo'
ming, Nebraska, South Dakota, North
Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin
Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio
Less is known about the Importance
Of barberry elsewhere. The question
will be investigated in all grain-grow
ing regions this season.

PHONE SYSTEM
IS DISCUSSED
BY CONFERENCE
Application May Be Made
for Immediate Physi-
cal Connection.

AS the result of a conference in
progress this afternoon, an effort may
be made to obtain from the postmas-
ter general of the United States an
order to effect immediate physical
connection between h Tri-State and
the Northwestern telephone exchanges
in this city.
A peculiar phase of the local tele-
phone situation at the present time
is that the Northwestern company has
taken over the control and the oper-
alton of the Tri-State exchange, but
that the two exchanges nevertheless
are being operated in so-called COM
petition with each other exactly as
they were before the transfer tool
place.
More than a month ago., on Novem-
her 16, City Attorney Geo. A. Bangs
took the matter of telephone CONSOLE
dalton up with the %postoff1ce depart
lnent which now directs the telephone
business of the country; a letter was
written to Secretary Burleson calling
his attention to what was described as
1.-The intolerable conditions existing
here"
No reply has, however. been re-
ceived from MI. Burleson. n for
this reason a meeting is being held in
the rooms of the Commercial club
this afternoon, attended by the follow
ing members of the Commercial club
telephone committees: G. l.. LELAND,
II. w. Bishop, F. F. Burchard and NJ.

the purpose of it is to formulate an
application to the postmaster general

Mr.. Stokesberry, of the
Inkster telephone exchange. who was
formerly manager of the Northwest
ern in this city, is attending the con-
ference in pursuance to an appoint
ment made with Mr.. Bangs a week
ago when the subject was eXhaus-
lively discussed in a preliminary way.
An application to the postmaster gen
eral was framed by Mr.. Bangs in con-
sultation with Mr.. Stokesberry, and
the meeting which is held this after
=. noon will most likely approve the
steps taken.
Situation Discussed.
In the application which is being
submitted to the conference today for
approval, the history of the Grand
Forks telephone situation is outlined,
and reference is made to the fact that
the Minnesota railroad commissioners
last sumne effected a division OF
telephone territory which would elm
mate competition n duplication OF
service.
By mutual agreement, the two ex-
changes in this city were included in
the division arrangement, and as
Grand Forks is adjacent to the north
ern part of Minnesota, the city was
included in the territory of the North.

The application sets forth that un-
der its franchise granted by the city
of Grand Forks. the Tri-State com
pany could not transfer its field to the
Northwestern company without the
express consent Of the council; thi:
consent was granted, and soon there
after the Tri-State exchange passed

Dual System Remains.
Since the transfer was made, both
of the exchanges, operated by the
same management, have been main
tanning what is termed a "so-called
competition with each other the same
as prior to the transfer" and it is al
legged that the citizens of Grand Forks
consequently are still suffering from
and expense of duplicated telephones,
with the exception that a physical
connection has been established for
toll business.
1t is pointed out that the transfer
has resulted in material c%urtailing of
expenses for the Northwestern COM
pany as only one manager is now
needed, one set of books is thought to
be sufficient, and Tri-State chief
operators have been eliminated. In
other ways large savings have been

change Co." the proposed application

No Reductions Made.
Their has, however, been no reduce
ton of expenses to telephone users in
the city, but the postmaster general
will be told that an opportunity for
| making reductions is present now as
physical connection between the two
exchanges can be made at a very
small eXpense-probably not more
than 5000. Attention is called to the
fact that no additional switchboards
will be required to handle the traffic
of both exchanges; the present Tri-
State exchange could be operated as
a branch exchange, it is said.
Finally, it is asserted that the bene-
fits accruing from immediate physical
! connection will be substantially as
great as those resulting from COM
| plete unification and consolidation,
and that no delay in handling mes
sages will be necessary. AS there are
about 5000 telephone subscribers in
the city now, and as from 500 to $50
are Implications, it is claimed h a the
duplication costs the citizens from
$4,000 to $4,000 per month-which
amount would be saved by immediate
physical connection being accomp-
lished.
The postmaster general is being APP
pealed to to take steps at nce for the
purpose of forcing an immediate con
nection of the two local exchanges.
