LINKS ITALY AND AMERICA
Newly Installed Wireless TeIegraphy
Plant Is the Most Powerful That
Has Yet Been Built.

The announcement that Italy and
the United States have recently been
connected by wireless telegraphy de-
serves more notice than it has re-
ceived. This achievement probably
makes back number of the great
wireless station at Nauen, near Ber-
lin, which has been so useful to Ger
many and which, when the war broke
out, claimed to be the most powerful
in the world, with an effective range
of between 5000 and 5000 miles. From
the nearest point in Italy to the
United States transatlantic station at
Arlington, near Washington, is not
less than $500 miles, and to send an
ineligible message across that dis
lance might be more than even
Nauen could accomplish. Owing to
the hostility between the ether waves
which carry wireless messages and
sunshine, it is always easier to send
messages long distances in northerly
and the power required to cover a
given distance increases with near
ness to the equator The wireless
route between Rome and Arlington is
for a good part of the way at least 800
miles nearer the equator than that
between Nauen and the United States,
which fact considerably adds to the
achievement of the Italian and Ameri.
can experts.-London Chronicle.

THE COMMON BARBERRY AND
BLACK STEM WHEAT RUST.

(From The Jefferson Cooperator.)
During the last three years the
United States Department has been
conducting thorough going expert
ments with reference to the Black
Stem Rust of wheat. The object has
been to determine if the common bar
berry Bush is responsible for this
rust as has been supposed for 200
years. 1t has been proven that these
rather early observations were true.
1t is matter of record that an eradi-
cation law was passed in Roeum,
France in 1860, in Connecticut, Rhode
Island and Massachusetts, between
1725-1766. Since the scientific facts
have been brought forth many grain
growing states have passed similar
laws.
In a recent issue of the 1918 De-
partment yearbook Mr.. E. C. Stark
man has gwen a full account of the
life history of the barberry. The
most conservative estimate places the
loss of wheat by black rust in 1916
as 180,O00,00O bushels. This also
attacks barley, oats and rye.
There is an orange leaf rust on
wheat The first of the black rust is
brown in color when it attacks wheat
1t is only late in the growing season
that the black mass of spores or
"seed" are formed. These live over
winter. The brown spores or "seed"
(these give rust it's COLOR cannot live
Spirit of Jefferson. [volume] (Charles Town, Va. [W. Va.]) 1844-1948, 1919-09-09

over winter so far north. They do on
Gulf and Pacific Coast. The black
form does. In the spring there is
only one group Of plants these spores
viii attack. That is the common bar
berberries on the underneath side Of
the leaves. 1t attacks, also, the Ore
gon Grape or Mahonia. After it has
grown on the barberry then the
spores or ''seed" viii go into red
stage in the spring and attack grasses
near by, and spread on for miles to
other grasses and grains. So long as
the spores are red they viii go from
grain to grain, or grass to grain, and
thus spread miles from one single
bush. 1t is like single match that
may light great fire that when con-
ditions are right will spread for miles
around. The time from the germina-
ton of red spore until it produces
other spores or "seed" is to 10 days.
The wind may carry these small, dust
like spores several miles. However,
when the black spores are found, so
characteristic of the rust they winter
and must grow on the barberry.
Hence, if there were no barberries
the black spores could not grow in the
spring.
The Japanese Burberry, low
growing shrub, with fewer spines,
and the berries evenly distributed
along the stem does not rust and is
harmless. The common barberry,
taller growing, with red berries in
clusters like currants, spines / to 8

Women as Aviators.

"Out of a thousand women who
want to fly" says G. G. Gray, Lon
don aviation expert, "you might find
one who has the right kind of nerve
for flying. A great many women
learned to fly before the war, but !
never came across more than one
who could really fly. She was very
exceptional woman altogether. In the
United States Ruth Law was the first
woman to fly from Chicago to New
York. She came of an acrobatic fam
fly. Katherine Stinson, another Amer
lean girl, nearly completed the same
feat recently. But for one woman of
this type you have thousands hysteri-
cally anxious to fly, and they would
only break their necks as well as gov
eminent property and be general
nuisance"

in q place does rust Native barberries
do not rust very badly.
Denmark passed a rust eradication
law in 1908. The eradication of bar
berry bushes was followed by unex-
pectedly beneficial results. Accord
ing to reports the rust attacks occur
ing in recent years have been trace
able to few bushes that had escaped
notice. But for lack Of space many
other convincing instances could be
cited.

Airplane Mail Popular.

An average of 1000 packets of mail
are now being carried regularly every
day between Vienna and Kiev by air

cities is $50 miles and the claim is

twelve hours, compared to forty hours
by train. 1t is made in four stages,
the intermediate stops being Cracow,

family boiler over the fire for the Mon

fulfilled its destiny by sending the
boiler through the roof and shaking
the surrounding territory.-Omaha
