estates are called upon to help by
digging out and destroying this spread
er 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 200,0o0,O 900 bushels in
1916.
The common harberry bush (Ber-
beris vulgaris), including the purple
iaavad variety, nurses the black stem
rust through one OF it's stages, helps
it develop, and enables 1t to spread
to the grains in the spring and early
summer. The most direct method of
attacking this rust is to keep common
barberFy 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-
ining, 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.

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.

stock sold went to slaughter. Some
reports, however, state that many hens

There is note of conservatism
in the language of the French
official statement, and in the
comment of the Partisan press
on the newest phase of the strug
gle. 1t is evident that the re-
suits of General Foch's mighty
effort are awaited before any
thing more than mere coun-
tcr-stroke against the enemy is
chronicled.
The next couple of days will
determine the exact character of
the operation now going on be-
tween the Aisne and the Marine.
Even if it comes to halt today,
it seems probable that it will
have accomplished its purpose
the relieving of pressure
against Rheims--for General
Ludendorff probably will not
continue his offensive on the
south while his right flank and
rear are seriously mcnaced.
A matter of intense interest is
the manner in which the Ger
mans meet the new onslaught.
If the Germans hold the allies
after having been flung back
with a rapidity that seemed like
disorganization. the fighting
qualities of the enemy troops
must be considered to be as
good as could be desired by the
German command.
So far as reports tell of the
situation. the German advance
form Dormans to Rheims has
come to halt. This is the stu
alton likewise east of Rheims.

Nanteuil Notredame, on the
only other line of railroad on
which the Germans can rely for
supplies for their forces along
the Marine from Chateau Thier-
ry to Dormans
The allies advanced at all
points to an average depth of
little less than three miles. They
captured. according to unof-
fetal reports. 10000 prisoners
and 100 cannon. The number of
men involved is not known.
