support for the black rust such as
caused terrible loss to the north
western wheat crop in 1915. The
black rust from one wheat plant does
not directly attack other wheat but
finds Judgment with the barberry
over winter and then is ready to at
tack the wheat again the following
year. So long as the barberry exists,
therefore, the northwestern wheat
crop is in perpetual danger.
For these reasons North Dakota
has already eliminated the barberry
throughout its borders. Manitoba
has taken steps to do the same thing.
Minnesota and other wheat states of
the northwest are calling upon their
people voluntarily to remove the bar
berry wherever it is found. In Dem
mark and European countries the
rust has been completely controlled
by the elimination of the barberry
though the rust does exist to some
extent where there are no barberry
plants.
The Japanese barberry is not an
enemy Of wheat-only the common
barberry. II you are for the bar
berry you are against the northwest
as wheat-producing region.

Wheat a Safe Crop

Wheat looks like the most surely
profitable grain crop this year.
The high price of oats and barley
at the present time, however, may
bring an increased acreage Of those
crops at the expense of the wheat
crop.
Farmers, therefore, will do well to
consider the possibilities of profit
from these crops before changing the
acreage materially.
The average yield of wheat in Min
was 1871 bushels an acre. At $500
a bushel, which is about the price
that the average Minnesota farmer
can expect for next years crop, this
would bring a return of $27.O0 an
acre.
The average yield Of oats for the
same period was 30.8 bushels. To
bring sgt an acre oats would need
to sell at 87.6 cents bushel next
year. The average yield Of barley for
the ten-year period was 1915 bushels.
To bring $27 an acre barley would
need to sell at $1.14 bushel. While
oats are bringing something over 80
cents now, and barley is much high
er than $1.14, it is not probable that
these prices will be maintained If a.
normal crop of the small grains is
secured, especially if corn should
prove to be good crop. That is why
wheat looks like the most surely pro-
fitable grain crop.
Barley and oats must compete with
corn as a feed crop. Farmers will
prefer to feed corn If it is available.
The consequences will be that barley
and oats will shrink in price more
quickly than wheat, since the price
of wheat is fixed at $3.50 in Chicago.
Corn probably would be keener
competitor for wheat than the small
grains we're 1t not for the seed short
age. If this is overcome corn may
yet crowd wheat for the increased
acreage. The average state yield of
corn for the ten-year period is 1928
bushels per acre. To bring as much
as an acre of wheat, corn must sell
at 83.6 cents bushel. With live
stock at present prices 1t is likely
that it will sell for as much as that,
even though a normal crop is secured.

|. London, April "a. Strong German at
tacks developed last evening near
Dranoutre on the Flanders front but
were repulsed by French troops, the
war office announces. Heavy infan-
try attacks are reported to be in pro-
gross this morning in the Albert sector
and also between the Sommc and Avre
rivers. The French and British artil-
lery inflicted severe losses on the Ger
mans. On the front northwest Of
Albert a German attack was repulsed.
Th. statement follows:
"The hostile artillery activity in
creased yesterday afternoon and even
ing on the greater part Of the British
front, particularly in the Somme and
Ancre region. in the valley of the
Scarpe and in the sectors of Bethune
and north northeast of Bailleul.
"At dusk hostile infantry left their
trenches to attack northwest of Albert,
but met with heavy rifle and machine
gun fire and were driven back.
Strong hostile attacks developed
also late in the evening near Dranoutre
but were repulsed by French troops
after sharp lighting. French and Brit
ish artillery inflicted severe loss on the
enemy.
During the night the activity of the
enemy artillery continued and at an
early hour this morning heavy bonn
bardment was opened along practically
the whole British front. Strong at
tacks are reported in progress in the
Albert sector and between the Somme
and AYre rivers.
Hostile shellng is reported to have
taken place early this morning between
Givenchy and Robecq. Concentrations
of hostile infantry in the neishborhood
of Merville were dispersd by our ar
tillery."

London, April 24.-Relations between
Holland and Germany still are discussed
in special dispatches from Holland with
the suggestion that the situation is ex--
trerely serious.
The sand and gravel question takes =
prominent place in all the reports. The
correspondent of the Times at The
Hague mentions among other things the
reported demand Sthat Holland shall
guarantee to Germany a supply Of raw
materials needed after the war, while
a certain quantity Of Dutch tonnage is
demanded at the same period.
1t is further added that the Germans
expect to force Holland to accept such
conditions that, would virtually compel
the entente allies to. occupy Dutch colo
nies which would throw Holland COM
pletely into the hands Of Germany.

Articles by naval writer's and edi-
torials in morning newspapers
eulogize with pride the volunteers who
carried out the raid against Zeebrugge
and Ostend. -.
Lieutenant Hobson's feat at San
tiago and Admiral Togo's exploit at
Port Arthur are recalled as noticeable
precedents, but the landing on the
beach at Gallipoli is regarded by
some writers as the only real parallel.
Curiosity is expressed as to the fate
of the crews of the old destroyers as
signed to the task of blowing up the
mole at Zeebruggee.
Stories of survivors who have ar
rived at Dover, flushed with belief OF
the full success OF the expedition, are
not corroborated in every detail by Of
fetal accounts.

Bruges canal lock lacks son nfirmation
This il accomplished would prove the
greatest feat of the undertaking.
Some experts assume that many
days will intervene. others many
weeks. before the Germans can repair
the damage. while others believe the
damage caused can not be repaired for
a very long time.
