SAL Will Kill
BARBERRY BUSHES
Second Stem Rust Conference Re.
veals Progress Made in Eradi-
eating Pest t..

Salt has been proved an effective
agent for killing the common bar
berry bush, necessary to complete
the life cycle for seeds that cause
black stem rust. This fact, estab-
.lished by government scientists, was
revealed to delegates attending the
second convention of the Conference
for the Prevention Of Grain Rust at
University Farm, St. Paul, last week
by DR.. Noel F. Thompson, patholo-
gist with the y. S. Department of
Agriculture.
DR.. Thompson said that common
salt, in the form used in the manu-
facture of ice cream, when placed
about the base Of barberry bush,
had been found to kill even the small
roots in short period and that the
danger of sprouts, chief objection to
the grubbing method of eradication,
was eliminated. He also said that
sodium arsenite had proved effective,
but recommended the use of salt be-
cause it was easier and more cheap
ly obtained. About five pounds are
required for an average bush. Salt
should not be applied to lawns, etc.,
as there is danger of soil steriliza-
ton for time.
The conference was attended by
$50 notable leaders in the agriculture
al field from thirteen states in which
grain is grown. Resolutions unani-
mously adopted urged continuation
of the campaign and asked congress
and state legislatures to aid the
movement with appropriations.
A first showing of a new motion
picture, prepared by the conference,
gave reproductions of actual micro.
scopic views proving conclusively
that the common barberry bush is
absolutely necessary to enable the
rust seeds to live through the win
ter.

FORSBERG WRITES ON
=, ROUTE MAIL BOXES
Route Patrons Urged to Comply
With Regulations as to Mail
Boxes

A recent inspection of Willmar
rural routes has shown that in few
cases on each route patrons are not
complying with regulations. Feeling
sure that all will be willing to do so
# they understand the reason for
these rules, would ask for space for
the following explanation:
The tremendous increase in auto
traffic has made it necessary to en-
force the rule that boxes must be
placed on the RIGHT SIDE OF THE
ROAD, as the carrier drives. This
is to enable him to always keep on
the side where he belongs according
to road laws. If the box is on the
left side, he must get in the way of
drivers meeting him as we'll as those
following him and wishing to- pass
when he stops. There are a few ex-
ceptions to this rule on small side
roads with little travel on them,
where box placed on right side of
the road would be covered with snow
in winter. These places have been
given authority to keep their boxes
where they are placed now.
Names of patrons should be paint
ed on box (not scrubbed with pen
Gil or scratched on with a naiD,
names to be placed on side from
which the carrier approaches. It
frequently happens that regular
carrier cannot go out on his route on
account of sickness, and it becomes
I necessary to send substitute who
is not acquainted with patrons. If
names are properly placed on boxes
he can do his work; otherwise he is
liable to misplace mail or bring it
back to the office. %& 49,.
Boxes should be level on support,
and the support should reach out
some distance from post so that when
1 driver uses horses he can reach box
without striking the post with the
sSWhifl etrees. Boxes that slant to-
wards the road are difficult to get
the mail into, and if they slant the
other way rain will run into. the box
1 and damage the mail. See that lids
" Of boxes open without difficulty, but
n shut securely enough to- keep the
wind from blowing them open and
n scattering the mail on the ground.
would also urge all patrons to
provide themselves with stamps SO
\ that it will not Sc necessary fol. car
