OKLAHOMA MAN HAS
TREASURE IN OLD NEWSPAPER

f. Smith from Brokenbow, Oklaho-
ma, who is spending the winter in
Delta is the possessor of a copy of
the Southern Shield" newspaper
printed September 4th, 1S47, in Hele-
ma, Arkansas.
Among the interesting information
contained in the paper is political
announcement of Zachary Taylor's
notice OF candidacy for the presidency
of the United States. indicating that
the problems OF 1S47 were parallel
to the problems of 1921. The announce
ment is as follows: II go for the
country, the whole country, and it is
my ardent and sincere wish to see
the individual placed at the head of
a nation, who, by strict observance
of the constitution. (be who he may)
can make us most prosperous at
home as well as most respected
abroad" 2. Taylor.

it.

the equality of opportunity which

taken unpreparedness to embrace 1t

strength of citizenship and magnify

If revolution insists upon overturn-

There is no place for it in America.
When world war threatened civiliza-
tion we pledged our resources and our
lives to its preservation and when
revolution threatens we unfurl the
flag Of law and order and renew our
concentration. There is constitu.

deliberate and an orderly progress

never destroy or permit destruction

Many Bushes Removed.
In the entire campaign of three field
seasons a total of 5.444,000 bushes
have been found and 4,230,000 re-
moved. Included with these, in so far
as estimates were furnished, are hun
dreds of thousands of bushes removed
from commercial nurseries during the
early part of the campaign. The
larger numbers were about 100000 for
Minnesota, 100000 for Iowa, 100000
for wisconsin, and 10000 for Ohio.
OF the 1,214.000 remaining bushes
about 100000 are Seeding bushes

The job of Graduating the common
barberry has proved to be a much
more extensive one than was antici-
pated by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture at the outset OF
the campaign in April, 1918. This
campaign was begun as a control
measure against the enormous losses
of grain from black-stem rust. In
years of moderate rust epidemics, the
reduction in the yield of wheat alone
has amounted to 100000 bushels,
while in 1916, the year of very Sc
we're epidemic. there was reduction
In yield of 1SOO00,O00 bushels In the
United States alone.
Bushes Grow Everywhere.
In the grain-growing districts of the
upper Mississippi valley, where the
campaign has been carried on, 1t was
supposed that barberry bushes existed
chiefly as ornamental plants In the
towns and cities. This was disproved

1,1G6 rural properties. About 10000
of these were scattered widely over
127 properties, showing that all coun-
try bushes are not confined to the
farmsteads, hut had been spread to
woodland, pastures, stream banks, and
fence rows by the distribution of seeds
by birds.
With these facts in mind, the cam
paign was more vigorously pushed In
1919. AS soon as the survey of most
cities and villages was completed, a
farm-to-farm survey of certain definite
areas was begun. The results in 1919
were as follows: $4,000 bushes were
found on 14,100 city properties, while
100000 bushes were found on 4,600
farms. OF these last, 1.6S0,000 bushes
were ones that had escaped from cul-
tivation on 1000 properties.
During the calendar year 1920 eff
forts were concentrated upon the farm
to-farm survey. A resurvey of cities
and villages in the counties surveyed
was carried on at the same time. In

DISCOVER NEW BLACKBERRY
Species Nearly Four Times Larger
Than Garden Variety Has Been
Found in Colombia.

A species of blackberry, nearly four
times larger than our garden variety,
has been discovered in Colombia by
American scientists and is being ex-
perlmented with by the Department of
Agriculture with view to distribu-
ton to farmers Of this country.
The giant berry was discovered by
DR.. Frank II. Chapman of the Ameri-
can Museum of Natural History, in the
remote forests of Colombia. 1t was
brought here by Wilson Popenoe, agri-
cultural explorer of the Agricultural
department and named the Colombia
berry, after the country of its origin.

BIG VALUE OF COVER CROPS
Especially Valuable to Small Garden
ers and rrucksters Who Cannot
Obtain Manure.

Cover crops are of especial value to
small gardeners and trucksters, who
often find 1t both difficult and expen-
sive to obtain stable manure. They
add the humus which is so necessary
to maintain good physical condition
of the soil. Wherever there is vacant
place in the garden few seeds Of rye,
vetch, clover, ETC., may be sown and
raked In. If a suitable rotation of
crops is followed all parts of the gar
den may be covered with green ma
nure crop once every two or three
years.

gases which are almost as dangerous
as the poisonous mustard gases used
during the recent war. In this in
stance, one of the farm workmen
entered a 50-foot silo which had been
half filled the previous day. Some
time elapsed and when he did not
come out, another Of the hands as
cended into the silo. Neither re-
appeared, though the other workers
shouted to them repeatedly to come
down.
Fearing an accident, the farm owner
finally climbed into the silo. He also
was Immediately overcome by the
poisonous fumes and only the fact
that others followed him, forced open
the extra silo doors and carried him
into the open air saved his life. The
two other men were suffocated i'm
mediately.
Each year, a number Of accidents of
this kind occur due largely to care
lessness and ignorance of the proper
methods of Graduating the dangerous
gases. The preventive measures are
simple and efficient and, where they
are followed, there is no danger.
No workman should ever enter
partly filed silo, after the ensiled
corn has had an opportunity to de-
velop poisonous carbon monoxide
gases overnight, until the machine
blower has been started. The fresh
air dilutes and scatters the obnoxious
gases to the extent that they are
rendered harmless. After the blower
has been operated for two minutes,
1t is perfectly safe for the workmen
to enter. Another precaution which
should be practiced religiously is not
to wedge the silo doors into place I'M
til they are needed to prevent the
waste of the ensiled corn. Many
farmers follow the practice of plac-
ing most of the doors before any great
amount of corn is cut and deposited
in the silo. This prevents free cir
culation of air through the silo which,
In turn, operates to favor the accumu-
lation of carbon monoxide and other
deadly silo gases.
