FUND IS VOTED
House and Senate Agree on
Amount to Eradicate
Enemy of Wheat.

Washington-There will be $350,0O0
appropriated by the United States gov.
eminent for the fight against the COM
mon barberry bush, the progenitor of
black rust in wheat, as result of an
agreement just reached by conference
committees Of House and Senate.
The House, in passing the agricul-
tural appropriations bill, set aside
$147, 500 for the fight on the barberry.
In the Senate, Senator Kellogg and
others from agricultural districts sue
coded in having the amount raised to
100000. The bill went to conference
between the two houses and $3.50, 900
las finally been agreed upon as the
amount for the barberry fight.
1t is expected that the various wheat
growing states will supplement the
work Of the federal government against
the wheat scourge. The federal au-
.horities, through the Department Of
Agriculture, will assist In making q
farm-to-farm survey in the wheat
states in order to eliminate the COM
