BLACK STEM RUST GETS
EARLY START

"Tke spring stage of the black
stem rust which is found on the COM
mon barberry has already started to
develop says H. C. Gilbert, bar
berry expert at State college. "Ma-
ture rust spots from which spores
were blowing to the young grains
and grasses were found on barber
ries south of Humboldt on May Is.
This means that the garin fields are
even now in danger of infection from
this dread disease.
sThe red spots of the black stem
rust on the stems of the grain may
not be abundant enough to be no.
ticed until late in June but they are
developing now. If the weather Is
favorable South Dakota will prob
ably have considerable black stem
rust. On the other hand it is pos
sible that there will be dry unfav-

and that no serious epidemic will de.
velop from the rust which was get
ting such an early starte tn South
Dakota during May.
"The work of barberry eradication
is progressing and large number
of barberries have been destroyed.
The plan is to survey eight to ten
counties in this work this summe-.
There are not sufficient funds avail
able to do more than this. 1t will,
therefore, take several years more
to survey the whole state and 1T can
not be expected that the $1,000, goo
annual loss in this state will be ma
terially decreased until the work is
more nearly completed.

they should keep who can? We are
afraid there is a good deal to be sail
for this explanation.
When the humble citizen in the
Unitd States sees promises of econ
omy followed by appropriations Of
millions for greater and greater
ornaments for "self-defense he has
to admit that in our own case the
explanation has a good many facts
to back it up.

PREPARE FOR CHOPPER"
POISONING CAMPAIGNS

Recent Investigations point to
considerable grasshopper trouble
this year in the alfalfa seed produc-
ing sections of South Dakota, ac-
cording to A. L. Ford, extension on
tomologist at State college. COM
munities and even counties are being
urged to conduct poisoning opera
tions on an enlarged scale. To OBJ
tain the best results in this work
the pest should be brought under
control in large areas before 1t has
reached the damaging state, says
Mr.. Ford.
'sPoisoned bran mash is the best
known means OF fighting the hop
per-" he says. 'sThis, where pur-
chased and used by individuals here
and there, is expensive and gives nc
permanent results. Where COM
munities poison as group and pur-
chase their materials collectively
through their couAsy agent. nearly
50 per cent Of the cost will be saved.
Materials can be obtained at whole
sale prices by purchasing through
pooled orders in this way.
TN purchasing bran, arsenic, mo-
lasses, and amyl acetate (banana
oil), the materials which ara used
In poisoned bait, It is we'll to remem-
Der that it will take at least . week
to obtain them by freight. II. there's
fore, becomes necessary to order
these materials in advance OF the
poisoning time. The county agent
has a list Of the flrms carrying these
materials together with quotations
from each.

HENDRIX ADOPTS HIGH
 SCHOLASTIC STANDARD
New Rules Virtually Raise Require ments for Award of Diploma
 Ten Points.

The regulations regarding quality points required of graduates at Hen drix College will be rigidly enforced, beginning with the present school year, it has been announced by the registrar, Prof. G. A. Simmons.
 Briefly, the regulation regarding quality points is that each graduate receiving a diploma from the insti- tuition shall have 120 quality points as we'll as 120 semester hours work to his credit.
 In giving these quality points, for each semester hour granted on the course, grade of "B" two quality points, grade of "C" one quality point. A student who makes a grade of "A" on a fve-semester hour course will therefore be entitled to l5 quality points on that subject, or grade of "B" on a five hCul course gives 10 quality points while grade of "C gives five quality points.
 This rule will prevent a student from graduating who has an average throughout the entire four-year course of less than "C" or 70 per cent, al though the passing grade at the in situation is an average of GO per cent on a course.
 Honors in general scholarship will be awarded any student completing a years work of not less than 30 se- mester hours with grade carrying 60 quality points, provided no grade falls below 'D", MT. Simmons said Special honors will be awarded any student making 90 quality points sim ilarly. Honor grades extending throughout one's college course will be indicated on the diploma grfanted

REORCANIzE DEPARTMENT
Governor Presents Measure for New Appointive Commission and Di-
 vision of Automobile Tax.

Little Rock, Feb. 17.-A bill for the reorgan zation of the state highway department presented by Governor McRae at a meeting of the senate and house committees on state lands and public highways yesterday afternoon, contains provisions for an appointive highway commission of three mem bers, for an executive engineer, for the abolition of the present advisory highway board and for the creation of a primary and secondary system of state roads.
 The bill embodies suggestions made by E. L. James, assistant chief of the bureau of good roads, department of agriculture, Washington, D. C., and E. L. Boykin, chief clerk of the bureau, and J. D. Fauntleroy, district engineer of the Sixth federal district, who have been in conference with the governor and the legislative committees on roads for the last several weeks.
 The present bill, the governor said, looks forward to supplementary bills providing for increased motor vehicle taxes and bill returning 70 per cent of the automobile license tax to the counties and placing 30 per cent at the disposal of the state highway de- partment.
 The governor asked that the bill, if acceptable to the committees in each branch, might be present ed as committee bill," rather than by any individual, and urged that be passed suspendng all road construction until an opportu- nity had been offered for readjust- ment of present road problems.
 The first section of the bill calls for a reorganized department, consist ing of three members appointed by the governor, to be known as the state highway commission. The mem- bers would appoint an executive en- gineer, at a salary of $5,000 annual ly, to act as state highway engineer.
 It also provides that the commis- sioners shall be appointed for one, two anu lIItc years, It's JGCIlNSIy, lHc OGlu III of service to be designated at time of appointment, removal for cause being discretionary with the governor, and appointments for vacancies to be for uneXpired term only. The commission CTS are allowed no salary, but may be allowed actual and necessary expenses incurred in fulfillment of their off cial duties. The commission would elect it's chairman and provision is made that the highway commission shall continue it's existence 30 years
 Section 1 also provides for trained engineer who would give his entire time to the department, receiving, in addition to his salary, reimbursement for necessary expenses incurred in discharging his duties, and shall be placed under $15,000 bond to the state.
