BARBERRY FOUND GUILTY

A striking case against the bar
county by a group Of barberry ex-
pertS from the extension division CT
State college The men arrived at
Sisseton July l to start a farm sur
vey of Roberts county for barberries.
On July a considerable number OF
reports had been received that a
wheat field northeast Of Sisseton had
been severely rusted every year for
over fifteen years. The place was Wis
tied and a large hedge of big bar
berry bushes was found in a grove
near this field. All Of the barberrios
were rusted. Examination of the
grain in the edge of the field near
the barberries showed that the rust
had already spread to the grain and
was abundant Upon further exami-
nation Of this field at one-fourth and
one-half mile distances, the rust in
lection was found to be much lighter
at the greater distance. This indi-
Gated clearly that the rust was start
ing early and abundantly from the
barberry bushes.
This case against the barberries
was the more striking because six
men who were working west of Sisse-
ton and between Sisseton and Browns
valley, July 3, found no barberries on
any Of the fifty farms visited. Neither
did they find trace of black stem
on any Of the grain fields on these
farms. In the past few years the
annual loss from black stem rust in
Roberts county has been about
$4,000.

WON'T PASS BY.
Some councilmen said they would be
willing to forego some of these changes
but would stand absolutely ON the pro .
vision that the gas company may cur

from any cause beyond the company's

said, the company might declare a short
age at any time It felt like 1t for any
reason it might trump up.
Several of the councilmen expressed
the fear that the company is going to
ask for raise in rates as a result of
the proposed Improvement program and
therefore they favored the fifth of the
above changes, but Corporation Counsel
Ashhy said that before the company can
get an increase it must not only get
an amendment to the franchise. which
provides for 60-cent gas. but also to a
law which guarantees this price.
The suggested provision that the com
pany be prohibited from extracting ben

G. C. Schmidt. Mr.. Schmidt inquired OF
City Chemist Chalmers Underwood and
