ERADICATION OF
BARDERRY PLANT
Campaign Begun, as Control
Measure Against Loss of
Grain by Black-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 Agricultural
The job of eradicating the common
barberTy has proved 10 be a much
more extensive one than was antici-
pated by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture at the outset of
the campaign I'm 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 J0O00,000 bushels,
while in 1916, the year Of a very Sc
we're epidemic. there was reduction
in yield of 1S0OOO,000 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, il was
supposed that barberry bushes existed
chiefly as ornamental plants in the
towns and cities. This was disproved
NullliS AiiC III ~ NNeiA VI bhC
by the finding Of 176,430 bushes on
1.1G6 rural properties. About $4,000
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 II 100 city properties, while
100000 bushes were found on 1900
farms. OF these last. 1,680.OOO bushes
were ones that had escaped from cul-
tivatiOn on 200 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
Ohio seven counties along the western

PROPER GANDER PLEAsEs

We have received copy of Prop
er Gander as cotton out by the class
of 1920 of the Abbeville high school.
1t is very creditable and we know
that as soon as we can find time we
will enjoy reading the book. We had
hoped that the publication would
give a little more of the history of
the Abbeville schools, and bring the
history on down, but in looking over
the book hurriedly we fail to find
just the sort of history that we ex-
pected, and the book is more of what
the colleges call an annual, and is
very creditable to the class of 1920.
And in this respect it is we'll gotten
up. We hope to find time to read
some Of the articles more carefully,
they seem worth while.-New-

letter smaller than the other which
makes the design appear series of
