harbor one stage Of the black rust
disease Of wheat and other small
grains, The Japanese barberry (Ber
beris thunbergiD, planted moro com
monty than the above mentionel vari'
etiss, Is harmless and need not be de-
etroyed. This disease caused loss
IN 1916 Of two hundred million bushels
Of wheat In twelve Of the more i'm
poFtant wheat growing states, and
many wheat fields in indiana were
ruined by It last year.
'.2. The months Of April and May
are the critical period during which
the Infection spreads from the bar
berry bushes to the grains.
Germs Carried by Wind.
"3. The germs of the disease are
readily carried by wind and infect
grain fields many miles distant from

the heart Of a large city are known to
spread the Infection
a. More than ninety per cent Of the
dangerous barberry bushes located
within the state by the government
and Purdue representatives have al
ready been removed, but In order to
completely protect the grain crops
from the black rust the remaining
bushes must also be removed.
THE people Of Indiana are there
fore urged to dig up and burn all OBJ
jectlonable barberTies as soon as pos
sible The state has always respond
ed splendidly to the government ap
peals for increased food production
and conservation and 1t is hoped thai

RAILROAD WILL TRY TO
 MEET. SOFT COAL DEMAND

ts:s The New Haven road issues the fol-
 lowing statement regarding the bitu-
 minuous coal situation:
 The machinery set up by the rail-
 road administration to distribute the
 coal held in transit by the railroads in
 accordance with the directions of the
 fuel administrator Is in full operation and asa result whatever possible coal Is being distributed in accordance
 with the priority list established by
 the fuel administrator where such coal
 Is. absolutely needed. Therefore. where
 there is a. real need for coal, the
 problem should be taken up immedi-
 ately with the railroad ordinarily sup
 plying the coal and every effort will
 be made by such railroad to meet the demand.
 It Is. of course. essential both be-
 cause of the present bituminous coal strike and in order that the needs for the coming winter may be looked aft CT that fuel be used as economically as. possible It should be remembered that the railroads did not interfere with the delivery of coal to designated consignees until the day before the Ipresent strike began. In order to con Serve coal as much as possible the re- gfonal directors of railroads have been given authority wherever it seems ab- soiuteiy necessary to eliminate for the time being train service but in order to provide for tke essential business needs of the country no general cur
 tailment of train service is contem- plated. The maintenance of the pub lie transportation service Is of par amount importance in order to serve tht countless needs of the general pub
 lie and the interruption of that service
 will be minimized as far as possible.
