BLACK RUST IN
MOODY COUNTY
FIRST TRACE FOUND NEAR A
BARBERRIEs--IN
EXPLAINED.

Flandreau, June 30-Black rust,
the greatest enemy of the small
grains in South Dakota, has been
found in Moody county, near a large
hedge of barberries. This is the
first sign of an approaching rust at
tack this year, states Lynn ID. Hut
ton, state leader in barberry eradi-
cation work. Several of the less
harmful varieties of rust have been
found previous to this time, but no
trace of the dreaded black stem rust
was found until June "a.
The lateness of the rust attack this
year is attributed by Mr. Hutton to
the fact that large portion of the
common barberries in the small grain
section of the state have been Grad
icated and also to the lack of suffi-
cient moisture to allow the little rust
plants, or spores. to germinate after
leaving the barberries.
THE influence of the barberries
upon the rust situation is very evil
dent" he says. 'On May 8, infec-
tion was found upon the barberry
bushes near Egan. These bushes
We're small, since the owner of the
hedge had been ordered to dig the
bushes in compliance with the bar
berry eradication law of 1919 In
stead Of properly digging them, he
cut them off close to the ground.
The shoots from the old bushes are
at present only about feet high but
they are heavily covered with infec-
tion which is blowing to the grains
and grasses of that vicinity, causing
rust infection. 1t is very conclusive
proof that the barberries have caus-
ed this small infection, since no rust
can be found at distance of more
than half mile from the bushes.
Already the grains near the bar
berry hedge are bearing more spores
which will be carried by the winds
into other fields of small grain.
Since the barberries are in a large
grove, the wind apparently has not
carried the rust spores to any great
distance That makes very little diff
ference to the rust situation. The in
fected grains will now produce rust
which can be caught up by the winds
and carried for miles, there to germ
mate upon the small grains and con
tinue their destruction.

DEAD BANKERS
HEIRS LOSE OUT
BULK OF CHRIS. vORLANDER's
INSURANCE MONEY GOES
TO CREDITORS.

Aberdeen, June 30--Out of the
$4,000 insurance policies on the
life of Chris oVlander, late presi-
dent of the First National bank OF
Eureka, the creditors of the defunct
bank will get slightly more than
$4,000.
This is the word to Receiver Paul
Keyes from the United States district
court at Minneapolis, where Judge
Page Morris has just filed his decis-
ion in the celebrated Vorlander in
surance cases.
The suits were against the widow.
Mrs Irene Ziesmer, daughter, and
w. M. Mitchell. guardian of three
minor children. The policies were
$4,000 for the widow and $1,000
each for the children. The com
panies have paid and the money was
tied UP pending litigation.
Use of the bank funds by Vorlan-
der in paying premiums was set up
by the receiver as grounds for de-
manding prorata proceeds of the pol
icies and the court has awarded him
all but $4,000 of what he asked.
Receiver Keyes has just started
suit against the Union Investment
company, of Minneapolis, for s29,-
s5S and against the State bank of
Chicago. for $4,000. .
These are two of numerous other
suits which are to be filed in similar
cases.
They are charged with having TAX
en- the banks money in payment of
Vorlander's personal obligations in
such form that they were charged
with notice that 1t was the banks $
money
Out of the proceeds that have been
collected thus far the receiver has
paid dividend of 80 per cent TO de-
positors and other creditors of the
bank, amounting to $270,000.

Fargo, N. D., June 30-The defeat
of Senator Porter j. McCumber in
the republican primary means North
Dakota will have two nonpartisan
league senators in Washington, poll
ticians believed today. Lynn j. Fraz-
ier was running about even with Nc
/ Cumber early today as returns filter
ed in, and remaining votes to be
counted should give Frazier a sub
stantial majority. Frazier will be
opposed by J. f. O'Connor, of Grand
Forks, in the election, apparently.
Returns on the democratic primary
were meagre, but it was a foregone
conclusion that O'Connor would be
nominated. Few believe that even
all the combined opposition to the
nonpartisan league can defeat Fraz-
ier even if O'Connor is able to win
solidified support.
