IOWA BANISHING THE BAR
BERRY.

Iowa cities and towns are prac-
tically free of the barberry. as the
municipal residents have coOpera-
ted actively in discriminating this
wheat pest Hundreds of barberry
plants have been destroyed OIL
Hawkeye farms as a result of
systematic search for these men
aces by experts of the United
States department of agriculture
and representative of the state
agricultural college. This drive
against the barberry has been I'M
der headway in u other upper
Mississippi and lake region states.
Experiences in Iowa indicate that
the barberry has been a prolific
spreader of black stem rust, as
wherever barberry bushes were
found subsequently the neighbor-
ing fields were badly infested with
rust.

Farmers Got Theirs

Anybody that disagrees with Presi-
deEt Wilson is an enemy of progress.
Tne farmers of the country were prac-
tically u unit against the new system
Jf setting clocks backward ard for
ward at the will of the Washington
departments, and secured the repeal
Of the bill authorizing it. Mr.. Wilson
vetoed the bill on the ground that it
was one OF his pet measures and was
only opposed by the fees Of progress.
Although the sentiment of congress
was overwhelmingly for the repeal,
tho friends Of the president mustered
eigth votes more than one-third CT the
house and saved him from defeat. The
farmers have a clear idea just how
much Mr.. Wilson regards their inter
ests now, as this was about ell the
farmers have asked thig year after
patiently submitting to its annoyance
during the war period.

STOCK DISEASE SPREADING
Agricultural College Experts Have
Not Yet Announced Its
Nature.

The disease which broke out among
t.e horses around Hartman two weeks
ago is spreading slowly to other Sec
uons oil the county. There have been
more than thirty fine large draft
horses die right around the town Of
Hartman. One farmer lost five, all
valuable animals. The veterinarian
from the agricultural college was un-
able to say for certain what the disease
was but ordered a number Of infected
Pnimals killed. He sent samples to the
college laboratory for analysis, but no
report has been returned yet. Several
deaths of both horses and cattle have
been reported in the territory several
miles west of Bristol the past week
with symptoms indicating the same
disease. Eve-y effort will be made to
keep the disease in check but all own
ers OF horses and cattle should use
extra caution at this time.

his machine gun TO the extent OF kill
ing eleven OF the many German SOL
diers stationed there. Then he alight-

German soldiers ran up and, either
by them or by shot from further
