THE BARBERRY CAMPAIGN

Nurserymen of South Dakota have
been appealed to by the barberry
eradication campaign men to take the
lead in getting rid of the common bar
berry which aids in spreading the
black stem rust in the spring. If the
that have come back already
to Charles w. Hungerford. special
representative Of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture, and DR.. A. N. Hume,
OF State college, state leader for the
campaign, are any indication, the nur-
serymen will indeed set the pace for
the state.
When Mr.. Hungerford explained to
one prominent nurseryman in one of
the states largest cities what the
eradication of the barberry meant, he
was not through until the man turned
to his s~tenographer and dictated a let
ter to his foreman, directing that all
the barberry except the immune ia
panese variety be dug out at once. An
other nurseryman went out to his
paintings Immediately and directed
the work of getting rid of his last bar
berry bush.
County superintendent. school sup
erintendents and county agents have
been enlisted in the barberry eradica-
