of Black Rust Spores
Traced; Barberry's Doom Seen

The barberry bush must go, is the
edict of the United States department
of agriculture, and crews of men are at
work in North Dakota this summer
making a farm-to-farm hunt for the
plant and digging it up, root and
branch, wherever it is found. The
black stem wheat rust goes through
one of its stages on the barberry, and
it is because of this that it is being
hunted down SO thoroughly.
The work of eradication is being
done in cooperation with the various
states in the wheat growing sections,
and was begun last year. In North Da-
kota, the crews of men are working
out from the Red river, on the eastern
boundary of the state, covering every
farm in every township in a thorough
search for the plant.
The history of rust follows:
In the spring the black rust spores

Paints of all colors and of every de-
scriptiOn, made in accordance with 240
different formulate, are being used in
the construction of a new paint fence
under the direction of DIR. w. T.
Pearce, paint chemist. Thirty-six COM
mercial paints are being used on one
section of the fence, to show the value
of one, two and three coats of paint,
and as a comparison to scores of other
paints prepared especially for the tests.
Implanted sections are to be used as
checks. While thousands of dollars
have been saved to paint users in the
state through the data obtained from
the investigations conducted since
1906, paint manufacturers have prob
ably benefited as much in that the

Prior to the initiation of the paint
experiments, commercial paints We're

which contained practically no actual

ton of the state paint law, inspired by
findings of paint chemists of the reg

state must bear a label showing in

Good paints can be obtained, accord
ing to DIR. Pearce, by persons who
notice the labels and who avoid cheap
material. Studies have shown, he says,
that a really good paint should con-

SPEED DEMON WILL
RACE At STATE FAIR
Al. strieeIe, Texas Star, Coming to
Helena Determined to Break
Local Track Records

Having acquired the southwestern
championship over dirt tracks, Al
Striegle of Dallas. Texas, in an effort
to add new laurels to his crown, has
begun a campaign of midwest and
northwestern tracks which will lead
him to Helena for the Montana State
fair auto races to be held September
10. Is and II. Striegle will tie his
hopes to a Briscoe, having been select
ed for a berth on the team early this
season.
Until this season Striegle has con-
fined his efforts to the southwest with
the exception of a few meets in the
southeast. In his first start outside
his own territory last year he narrowly
escaped death when he and Sig Haugh-
dahl tangled cars on a bad turn during
the races of the southeastern fair at
Atlanta. Ga. A slight rain had made
the track Shiny and the race was
called off, but as the cars went into a
turn while slowing up they both
skidded so badly that they were nearly
demolished in the wreck which fol-
lowed. Neither of the drivers was
seriously injured, and although they
were saved a soaking in the lake which
overs the infield. when the ears skid
1ed to the outside of the track, they
were thoroughly wetted in the near
~cloudburst which brohe almost imme-
diately.
His car a wreck, the meet called off
and many miles from home, Striegle
gladly grabbed a chance to work as
mechanic for the BriscOe team. His
~mechanician's career was short, how
ever, for as soon as members of the
team saw him drive they proffercd
him a car. In the starts he has made
with the car this year. Striegle has
done even better than last year and
promises to be one Of the favorites at
the Montana State fair three day meet.

The Bombing Tests.

Some people seem to be disappointed
because the recent bombing expert
ments off the mouth of Chesapeake
Bay did not conclusively demonstrate
the relative efficacy of battleships
and airplanes. In the very nature OF
things, no conclusive demonstration
was possible. In actual warfare, the
battAship would be equipped with
guns for fighting airplanes and these
would be used. Of course that was
not practicable in the experiments. In
actual warfare, the battleships would
pursue courses that would change
without warning, would throw up
smoke screens, and would be aided by
other airships. Moreover, a battle
ship finding itself in danger OF attack
would probably steam out to sea
farther than a land plane would find
it practicable to operate without sup
plv ships at hand. All these condi-
tons could not be met in experiments
1t follows, therefore, that the tests
although interesting and Instructive
do not prove anything beyond the fact
that an airplane can carry and drop
bombs that will sink a battleship, and
if the battleship does not fight back
can drop the bomb with occasional
accuracy.

THE SCRUB MUST GO
Nature Junked Her Scrubs a Long
Time Ago.

In these days of economic recon-
struction the livestock breeders have
got to junk the scrub sire or find a
new business, or work for fun.
Fifty percent of the COWS in the
United States are MIXED for fun.
They don't pay. Why? Pure bred
sires are not used.
Centuries ago nature junked her
scrubs. Long before this country was
ever dreamed of by white men, nature
junked her bankrupt wild animals, the
dods, the Dinosaur, the Mommoth and
lots of others. They were mistakes"
They could not stand competition;
they could not meet human require
ments. Other animals, who could pro-
tect themselves and get ahead, took
their place.
Bologna Your Scrubs.
Look over the animals on your
farm, particularly the sires, your
bulls, boars, rams or ROSTERS. If they
are not up to the minute; if they
haven't a blame excuse for being there,
get rid of them. Replace them with
purebred sires and put your herd in
the profit-making class.
Many farmers ruiz a free boarding
house for some Of their livestock. 1t
actually costs more to keep some ami
mails than the returns they bring.
Gull out the non-producers, the star
b~oarders, those that are only good
for leather and bologna. Replace them
with animals that will bring big re-
turns. If you have got a dairy herd,
get a bull that looks like a bull, one

lions of selections and improvement;
and it's the same way with sheep, get
good rams; or poultry; get a real
rooster.
1t does not cost any more to feed
or care for the better kind OF live
stock. But a little more investment
at the beginning will make your bank
account a great deal larger in the
end.
What a Pure Bred Sire Will Do.
A purebred sire will make your
scrubs good grades, your grades better
grades and your livestock profitable.
The first cross will show a wonder

a better opportunity than now to

prices. Let the Farm Bureau help

Root Crops Decay
May be Prevented
BY C.. 3. WALDRON

The decay of roo crops is caused
primarily by bacteria, molds and fungi
which are allowed to gain entrance
into the vegetable tissues. If the
vegetables are bruised these organisms
gain entrance much more readily.
Since the organisms require a cOmpar-
atively high temperature for their de-
velopment it will be seen that a dry,
cool temperature is best for some
kinds of vegetables.
Prevent Rot Growth.
The exception to this is for vege-
tables that would dry out too much
unless kept in a fairly moist temper
allure. In storing certain types of veg
etables, therefore, like beets, parsnips
and carrots, it is necessary not only to
prevent the growth of the organisms
of decay but to prevent the vegetables
from drying out. If the temperature
for these vegetables can be kept down
near the freezing point, there is little
chance of the bacteria or fungi get
ting started.
Potatoes do not dry out so readily
and should therefore be kept in a
fairly dry and cool atmosphere.
Onions are inclined to sprOut if kept
in a moist or warm atmosphere so the
proper condition for them is an at
mosphere that is dry and cool.
Squashes and sweet potatoes must
be kept in an atmosphere that is rea-
sonably dry and rather warm.
Grow in Storage.
There are certain vegetables like
celery, endive, etc, that are kept grow
ing slowly throughout the storage per-
iod. These are provided with just
enough moisture and sufficient tenn
perature to maintain a slow growth.
The accepted temperature being about
40 degrees.
Cabbage keeps best in a temperature
about freezing and the air should
| have a moderate amount of moisture.
There is no time to lose in selecting
and conditioning birds for the fall
poultry shows.
