ty were from escaped seedlings and
all have been removed.
Mr.. Hutton reports increasing CO.
operation on the part of the public
which formerly was lukewarm, or
worse. The newspapers, banks and
railroad companies have joined the
Farm Bureau and state and govern
ment agricultural authorities in urg-
ing a complete banning of the bar
berry as a certain means of Curbing
black stem rust. An effective educa-
tiOn8l campaign has been carried on
by the Conference for the Prevention
of Grain Rust, a national organization
with headquarters in Minneapolis.
The result is that farmers are being
awakened to the necessity of seeking
out and destroying their barberries in
steal of waiting and find their bushes
for them.
Mr.. Hutton believes the problem of
enabling the farmer to identify the
common barberry bush is the most
important nov confronting the eradi-
cation movement. He says that many
Of them fail to recognize the plant
even after seeing a sample of it such
as the banks, newspapers, railroad
companies and Farm Bureaus are dis
playing and distributing.
Many farmers believe the common
barberry is a small weed which we
look for in grain fields" said Mr.. Hut
ton. Under the circumstances they
have no confidence in u ability to
eradicate it thoroughly. AS a matter
Of fact there are no insurmOuntable
obstacles in the way of very complete
eradication of the bush"
Government workers report some
amusing incident in connection with
the cooperation they are receiving. In
n place the editor of the local news
paper gave some valuable assistance
n the way of publicity and urged that
federal agents be sent to his town to
conduct a barberry survey. Two men
finally were assigned to the mission.
The only barberry bush they found in
the vicinity was on property owned
by the editor.
In another section two bankers had
written hundreds of letters to their
customers, urging barberry eradica-
ton, and had samples of the bush on
in their banks. They were
astonished when the government
scouts reported finding barberries on
property owned by the bankers"

THE RIGHT TO MARKET

The American Farm Bureau FEEDER
alton contends that the farmer has a
right to follow his product through
his cooperative associations just as
far down the marketing and distribut-
ing channels as will meet his best
interests. We claim we must have the
greatest freedom in the exercise of this
right and that there must be no or
ganized barrier or unfair practices
thrown in the way of its freest func-
tioning. What the farmer demands is
service at a fair and equitable cost.
If the cooperative selling associations
at the livestock markets "a render
that service adequately and economi-
cally, they ought to succeed and have
the support not only of the farmers
but the general public as well. If they
cannot succeed in competition with
already established agencies they will
fall of their own weight.
Therefore, we can but view any or
ganiZed opposition or propaganda
against cooperative selling as an add
mission that cooperation is funda-
mentally sound and promises success
1t has never been the thought Of the
American Farm Bureau Federation
that the farmer controlled agencies
would or should ever displace entirely
the present existing machinery. Rath-
err, we believe there should he the
keenest competition between the two
different types of selling agencies,
both in grain and livestock, in order
that the producer may have the best
market facilities. We shall continue
to stand on our rights to sell coopera-
lively, prorating back to the producer
the profits of the business, but as an
organization we have not, nor shall we
do other than meet our competitors
with that spirit of fairness, which we,
in turn, expect from them.

American Farm Bureau
Federation.

BARBERRY ERADICATION PRO.
CROSSING IN HAND
HnITATT


Up TO Saturday evening, August 18th
Field Agents for the L. S. Department
of Agriculture. working i'm Hand
County had found eighty barberry
bushes. The first was found on the
Nick Duehr farm, 6 miles north of
Miller. The other farms on which
barberry have been located are:
c. En- Nadgwick in Park township,
80 bushes.
G. L. Eschenhausen, Howell Twp,
CStruif farm, 35 bushes.
Charlie SchrefIler, Rierside Twp, 4
bushes.
Their leader reports that over half
the county Is already gone over. An
Other week or ten days and the survey
will be completed i'm Hand County.
Much misunderstanding exists re
garding the effect the removal of bar
berry will have on the prevention of
grain rust. The life history of black
stem rust in this section of the coun-
ty shows that it lives over the winter
on the stems of grain or grasses in
the black stage. In order to get start
ed again in the spring it must develop
the red stage. Nature has provided
that the barberry should be the in
termediate host on which gust should
develop. In the early spring the black
rust. from the stems of grain or grass
es. blows and lodges on the leaves of
the barberry. Development begins inr-
mediatCly. In a short time red rust
begins blowing from the barberry to
the grains and grasses. In 5 or 6
days red rust begins blowing from the
grains and grasses. II weather condi-
tons then prove favorable it is but q
matter of a few weeks when rust be-
comes general. The injurious effect
on wheat generally occurs during the
last week or ten days before grain
ripens.
The main object of barberry eradi-
cation is to prevent early rust infec-
ton. If the spreading of rust in the
spring can be delayed two weeks or
more it is probable that rus will cease
70 be q serious factor in the hard red
spring wheat area. The Federal au-
thorities do not say that the removal
Of barberry bushes will entirely era
dictate rust. Rust can blow in here
from the South where it lives Over
the wintc~ IL the red stage. However,
by eliminating the barberry, early rust
infection in the red stage in this part
of the county will be prevented. The
only method of infection would then
be by blowing from points South. The
further from the South it has TO blow
the later will the infection reach this
section of the country and the greater
will be the chance of the wheat matur-
ing before rust does serious damage.

County Agent.

There are three chief purposes Of
cooking. The first is to change the
mechanical condition so that the di-
gestiye juices can act upon the food
more freely. Heating often changes
the structure of food material very
materially, so that they are more cas-
lily chewed and more easily and thor
oughJy digested. The second is to
make it more appetizing by improving
the appearance or flavor, or both.
Food which is attractive duickens the
flow of saliva and other digestive
juices and thus digestion is aided.
The third is to kill by heat any disease
germs, parasites and other dangerous
organisms 1t may contain. This is Of
ten a very important matter, and APP
plies to both animal and vegetable
foods" Farmers Bulletin No. 142.
