ERADICATE BARBERRY
TO SAVE GRAIN CROP
Common Plant Has Long Ca

If you saw an anarchist with blaZ-
ing torch in his hand sneaking through
the grass to your ripe wheat field, in
tending to set it on fire, what would
you do? If you saw several of his
companions in crime sneaking to your
granary with oil and matches, what
would you do? If you saw mob of
wlld-eyed anarchists running amuck
with firebrands and destructive intent,
what would you do? You would shoot
the first, you would shoot as many Of
the small group as you could, and you
would call for help TO eXterminate the
Shole breed.
THE common barberry is red-hand-
I'd anarchist bush. 1t has long ca
reer of crime behind it. 1t has long
er and more terrible career of crime
before it If we don't put stop to 1t.
1t has destroyed billions of bushels Of
wheat and other grains in the past.
It will destroy billions of bushels in
,he future unless we destroy it. Den
mark destroyed the common barberry
md stopped the stem rust. Many
farmers in this country have destroyed
heir own bushes and rescued their
rops from ruin by the rust.
The United States department of
lgriculture and the grain-growing
;tates are eradicating the common
1arberry. Are you for 1t or against it2

greatest Importance that the cambium
of the scions which Is exposed in the
slOping cuts at the ends be brought
into intimate contact with the cam
blum that lies under the bark at the
margins of the wounded area. The
union of scion and tree can occur only
where the Camblum layers of the two
come together. The scions may be
secured in their proper positions, If
need be, by driving a small nail
through each end into the trunk. This
will aid in drawing the cambium Of
scion and trunk closely together.
The operation is completed by thor
oughly covering the area occupied by
the ends of the scions and the margins
Of the wound with grating wax, strips
of waxed cloth, or by some other
means that adequately will prevent
these parts from drying out. Some
operators cover the entire wound,
scions and all, with melted wax.
Where the brldged portion is below
or near the ground many operators
conserve moisture by covering the
CRAFTS with earth.
Bridging From the Ground.
Where the wound Is so large as to
make ordinary bridge grating impos-
sible, another method Of bridging may
be used. Two-year-old trees are
planted about the base Of the injured
tree and their tops grated into Its
trunk above the girdled space, which
has first been cleaned as in the other
| method. AS the tops of the small
trees are too large to manipulate
readily in the manner described for
sciOns, Vshaped vertical grooves eX-
| tending through the cambium are cut
| just above the wounded area in the
| bark of the tree to be treated. The
tops Of the small trees are shaped to
correspond with these grooves. The
two are then accurately fitted together
in such a manner as to bring the cam
blum Of one into contact with that OF
the other. Small nails may be driven
through the tops Of the trees into the
trunk, to hold the parts firmly togeth.
the tops Of the small trees to the
trunk Of the large one should be well
covered with wax, to prevent drying
out. Sometimes cord Is tied around
the trunk to aid In holding the tops
Of the young trees in proper position

Bridge grating, the use of scions
or small limbs to connect the cambium
above and below a large wound or
girdled strip, may be practiced sue
cessfully on almost any kind of fruit
tree that can be propagated readily
by grating. Trees girdled by mice or
rabbits, suffering from mechanical in
juries, or from blight or other dis
ease, can be saved in many cases by
bridge grating. The method also is
useful when large areas of bark have
been killed by sun scald and other in
juries.
Effective Grating.
To be effective, bridge grating
should be done in the spring before
growth starts, though sometimes it
can be done after growth starts If
dormant scions for the purpose can
be secured.
Prepare the wound in the tree by
cutting away all dead tissue and thor
oughly cleansing the injured parts. If
possible, sterilize by washing with a
solution of bichloride of mercury, cop
per sulphate, or some other antiseptic.
The irregular edges Of the bark above
the girdle tract or wound should be
cut back into an even edge far enough
from the wound to make certain that
healthy cambium is under the bark.
For the grating, select sCions from
wood Of the previous seasons growth,
either branches which grew the pre-
ceding season or water sprouts that
are only year old. The scions should
be a little longer than the space which
Is to be brdged, so they will arch
slightly over the central part of the
wound.
Bevel the scions at each end on the
samS side of the scion with a long
slopng cut so that the wedge-shaped
ends thus formed will be relatively
thin and permit their being thrust
well r1der the bark without danger OF
separating it unduly from the cam
! blum at the points of insertion. The
| placing of the sciOns will be faCilitat-
ed If the bark at the margins of the
wound is slit for a short distance at
the points where the ends are to be
| inserted.

FINE POULTRY RECORD MADE
Number of Cooperative Ship
ments in Arkansas.

prepared by the United States Depart,
ment of Agriculture.)
The Poinsett county (Ark.) agricul-
tural agent and hOme-demonstration
agent report satisfactory results from
a number Of cooperative shipments
of chickens marketed by farm women
during the early summer. Shippers
listed their poultry in the same man
ner as is employed where hogs or cat
tie are shipped comparatively, using
Monday as shipping day. All the poul-
try was shipped by express from 60
to $50 miles to the Memphis and ST.
Louis markets.
A total Of 1873 pounds Of poultry
was loaded at the shipping point in
July; the total weight at destination
was 1,411 pounds, the aggregate
shrinkage in transit amounting to 1862
pounds, or an average of 1913 per cent.
The cost of marketing, including ex-
press, commissions, coop expenses, ETC.,
but not inclusive Of shrinkage, was "A
cents a pound, while the cost of mar
keting a pound, including the drift
over the railroad was: Hens, rs cents !;
cocks, 63 cents; and springers, 8.5
cents.
The total gross sales amounted to
$42107, which left a net return to the
shippers of $352.36 after the shipping
expenses of $6S71 were deducted. The
market value Of this entire shipment
on the local market was only $26S.S9,
so that the net gain through cooper
alive marketing aggregated $S9,47, or
a total of "a per cent. Twenty-one
shippers participated.

Claims G. 0. P. Has
 Raised But Million

New York, Aug. 24.-Fred Upham treasurer of the republican national committee, said today that since the Chicago convention less than S1,0oo'- GOO had been raised by his party for the national campaign. The exact sum shown on the treasurer's books as collected for the national fund, MT Upham said, was $944,353,S0. He ad- ded that MT. Hays estimate of $3'- 100000 to the required to carry on the campaign, was quite correct.
 MT. Upham expressed the opinion that Governor Cox in charging that more than s7OO,OOo was "raised in one place" was speaking of the state of Illinois, where this amount was raised, "but for purposes of national state and county campaigns combln- ed." Ohio, he said, for both state and county campaigns had collected S169, 9,OOO.

ON THE DECLINE.

While the Americans team won the seventh Olympiad by more than twice as many points as it's nearest competitor, Finland, few records fell, No American was first in more than one event andyin some of the events, in which Americans have always ex- ceIled, our colors were lowered to the athletes of other nations. There was nos American athlete who stood out supremely as did Thorpe n1912, Qr Ted Meredith or Melvin Sheppard, dome years before that. :
 What is the trouble? Undoubtedly the war lowered the athletic stan dard in al lcountries that were bel ligerents, but the United States was in the war time not nearly so long as England or France or Belgium and the effect reckoned on war basis should have been much less harm full to the athletes from the United States than to Europeans.
 In 1912 nearly every state in the Union was "open." It cannot be charged that the poor showing o1 1920 is due to the moral influences that surround the young men of to- day unless we admit that these in- nuences are worse under the pres. ent reformed" status than they were eight years ago.
 Those who seek for reason fol the poor showing of America's ath. letes probably can, with these req sons, blame the wealth luxury whicl surrounds most of the students of the American colleges, from whom we draw most of our track and fielc athletes. When practically every student has his own car, often more than one, and an unlimited amount of money, there is not much incen tive to train vigorously for athletic supremacy.
