NEED GILT EDGE BALL

Falling off in attendance at
major league ball parks during
the last month has the magnates
worried.
We don't believe it is the slug
ging that is causing the tone-of
in interest. Fans always did
like to see a lot of hitting.
But fans don't like to see a
team play like champions one
day and sand-lotters the next.
Teams haven't shown any kind
of consistent form so far. The
rabbit ball has players off their
stride.
Let the teams play gilt-edge
ball. Then the fans will come
back.

ERADICATION Of
BARBERRY PLANT
Campaign Begun as Control
Measure Against Loss of
Grain by Black Stem Rust.
BUSHES THRIVE EVERYWHERE
Plants Spread to Woodland, Pastures

by Distribution Of Seeds by
Different Birds.

prepared by the United States Department
OF AEriculture)
TIKI job of eradicating the common
oarber1y 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. 1913. This
campaign was begun as a control
measur 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 $4,000, 600 bushels.
while in 1916, the year of a very Sc
we're epidemic. there was a reduction
In yield of $50. 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 176,43O bushes on
l.1G6 rural properties. About $4,000
Of these were scattered widely I've
1o7 properties. showing that all coun-
try bushes are not confined to the
farrnsteads, 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 IA. 100 city properties, while
100000 bushes were found on 1900
farms. OF these last. 1,6aO.OOO bushes
were ones that had escaped from cul-
tivation on 1900 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 am time. In
Ohio seven counties along the western
