ERADICATION OF
BARBERRY PLANT
Campaign Begun as Control
Measure Against Loss Of
Grain by k-Stem Rust.
BUSHES THRIVE EVERYWHERE
Plants Spread to Woodland, Pastures
Stream Banks and Fence Rows
by Distribution Of Seeds by
Different Birds.

Prepared by the United States Department
OF Agrtculture.)
The job of eradicating the corumon
barberTy has proved to be 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 q 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 50,000,000 bushels,
while In 1915. the year Of very Sc
vere epidemic. there was reduction
in yield Of 10000. 900 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, It was
supposed that barberry bushes existed
chiefly as ornamental plants In the
towns and cities. This was disproved
during the first year Of the campaign
by the finding Of 17e,430 bushes on
1.166 rural properties. About 1900
Of these were scattered widely over
1877 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 14.1O0 city properties. while
100000 bushes were found on 1900
farms. OF these last, 1880. 900 bushes
were ones that had escaped from cul-
tivation on 1900 properties.
During the calendar year 1920 ef-
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
Ohio seven counties along the western

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 50foot 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

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 epter. Another precaution which
should be practiced religiously Is not
to wedge the silo doors into place I'M
I'll 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 IT corn is cut and deposited
In the sil0. 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.

ARNOLD BENNETT ON WORDS
Bad English. is the Contention of Noted Writer.

Arnold Bennett hates half-meanings, and especially he hates inexact words. He quotes from a London daily and holds up to ridicule The King and queen were present at a first night In London theater last evening for the Initial time in their reign" His com ments are instructive, Malcolm Cowley writes in the Literary Review:
 Tt Is quite a first-rate example of bad English. The culprit, whose name Is well known to myself and other members of the London literary police force, evidently thought that 1t would be inelegant to use the same word twice iA two lines; so he sub stituted initial for first in the second line. Perhaps he had never re- fected that words express ideas. and that therefore If precise Idea re- CUTS, the precise word for that idea ought to recur. The idea expressed by the word first Is precise enough. and no other English word means what first means. Certainly Initial does not mean first Stlll, the man meant well. His misfortune was that, hay ing picked up good notion without examining 1t. he imagined that repe- tition was inelegant in itse''. Repe- tition Is only wrong when 1t Is unnten- tional, and when, being horrid to the ear, 1t Is reasonably and honestly avoidable. On the other hand. repe- tition, used with tact and courage, may achieve not merely elegance but posi-. tive brilliance"
 Here Is Bennetts style both in theory and practice, and the practice agrees with the theory. The passage is not merely clear, but 1t Is brilliantly repetitive The trouble Is that Bennett often goes out of his way to repeat himself.

To Waterproof Matches.

One Of the c0mmOneSt experiences
 me camper Is that of finding that matches are so damp that they will not strike All this trouble may oe avoided by providing oneself with waterproof matches. These are easily made In the following way; Melt a few Jumps of candle WAX in an old can on the stove. Allow this to cool little and then. before 1t has set, dip the matches in, one at time Treat the heads and about half of the wooden part. Place the matches on one side to cool. Matches treated in this simple manner have been soaked in water for many hours, and they have ignited as readily as those which were perfectly dry. The only differ ence Is that, in striking, 1t Is needful to do so trife more firmly so as to get through the thin film of wax surrounding the head. When once the flame starts, the match burns very readily, owing to the wax which had adhered to the wood. Any ordinary matches can be treated In the manner described.-S.

HOW WALAPAI CLARK ENDED
 "THE APACHE TERROR"
@, Western Newspaper Union.

Although the worst Indian war in Arizona ended in 1886, when Chief Geronimo surrendered to General Miles, ten years later lone Apache warrior was still carrying terror to the hearts of the settlers in that state. The Apache Kid was his name. He had once been scout for our troops; then his "heart went bad"; he deserted his command and joined the hostiles. When Geronimo sur. rendered, the Apache Kid stayed out" and took the lone war trail.
 Late in the sos prospector named Jack Clark located a claim near Condon in the Santa Cataline mountains north of Tucson. Clark had been a scout for the government fin the Apache campaigns. He had lived among the Walapai Indians for many years and bore the nickname of "Walapai' Clark. One night an old pack mare of Clark'S was stolen and the trail showed that it was the work of lone Indian. Clark felt sure it was the Apache Kid.
 ''Walapai" knew that unless the h. dian kept the mare securely tied she would escape and come back. A week later she returned. Believing that the thief would not give up such a valu- able animal so easily, Clark prepared for his return. That night he staked the mare out in a little park and con- cealed himself in the tall grass near by. After hours of waiting, the scout saw an Indians head appear above the grass at the edge of the clearing. A second later another appeared and both Indians crept toward the horse.
 There was a full moon and Clark could not miss. He fired and the first Indian dropped. Like flash the oth- CT sped for the woods. "Walapai" fired again. The Indian stumbled. almost fell and then disappeared. When Clark reached the dead Indian, he found she was Q squaw. The coward ly Kid had made her go ahead so that she would receive the deadly bullet If they were entering an ambush.
 Clark knew better than to hunt for the wounded Indian that night. The next morning he led large party on the trail. Here and there they found spots of blood and further on bloody headband. But they never found the Apache Kid His fate is unknown, but 1t Is believed that he crawled away into one of the many caves in the Santa Catalinas to die At any rate, his raids ceased. 'Walapai" Clark had ended "The Apache Terror"
