EVIDENCE AGAINST
RARBERRY.

The old idea that stem rust OF wheat
swept northward from the wheat fields
Of the southwest with the advance Of
the wheat season and that this caused
many of the losses in the north has
been exploded. For three years now
the rust has been found on the common
barberry in the northern states in ad-
vance of the time when it has appeared
on the wheat in the southwestern
states. Already the rust has been
found on barberries in Ninnesota this
year so that it could not possibly have
come from southern wheat fields.
This is just another evidence in sup
port Of the campaign which is being
waged by E. C. Stakman of the Mime
sofa experiment station and a large
staff, under federal approval and the
new anti-barberry law in Minnesota, to
rid the state Of the plant. -
The task of Kidding the state Of the
common barberry is going to be moro
difficult even than at first supposed, be-
cause scouts are finding tina: the plant
is growing wild in several parts Of the
state. This will mean the necessity OF
an even more complete scouting sys-
tenn than has been used.

WAYS OF REPEILING PAMPER1D
MOSQUITO.

eve are doing about all for mosqui-
tos that the most insistent mosquito
could ask-we are not only leaving her
unmolested in her natural breeding
places, but are furnishing her with cid
tin cans, rain barrels, water troughs,
and all manner of extra Inducements
for rearing her family in our neighbor-
hood,' says W. A. Riley, chief of the
division Of entomology in the depart
ment Of agriculture, University Farm,
st. Paul. eff we are to avoid mos
quito plaques, the mosquito like the
housefy, must be fought N her own
territory.
"However, questions as to how to
avoid mosquitoes usually arise after tho
rests ere with us in swarms as re-
suit of our earlier carelessness and in
differences. What then can be done 10
protect ourselves from their attack,i
"Many. substances have been recon-
mended as efficacious in wardlng oil
MOSQUITOES. The majority of these are
only Of value for very limited periods,
and most of them have been selected
on the theory that they are disagreeable
enough to repel any living thing. A
few are more endurable and are to be
recommended a. giving some relief.
IA mixture Of equal parts Of kero.
sense and oil of pennyroyal applied
lightly to the face and hands affords
temporary protection against several
species. A mixture of oil Of cit1onella,
i ounce; spirits of camphor, l ounces
oil of cedar u ounce, applied to tho
clothes or body is excellent. A few
drops on towel hung over the head
of the bed will protect against some
species for the " hole night.
"For protection within the house
thorough screening is the only satisfac--
tory measure. Ordinary window screen.
ing is IL to 16 mesh, that is, it ha. II
or 16 strands of wire to the inch. This
is efficient against the majority Of our
mosquitoes, but there are some smaller
and very troublesome species which are
not excluded by less than 20 mesh
screen.'

buildings across the alley, south,
were saved. Had these buildings
caught others on that side of the
square could not have been saved
Mr.. Jour Ian kept his engine go
ing until the water in the well
was exhausted.
The buildings destroyed were,
