nine STATES join IN
FARM FREIGHT R ATE WAR.
Bureau Federation and Railway Com
missions Meet to Combat
rs Freight Increase

POcketbooks of Minnesota farmers
are being protected by the Farm Blu
reau's traffic experts in a new rail-
road rate case involving $6,OOO,OOO a
year. s 2s X. ~;
G. B. Hutchings, traffic manager OF
the American Farm Bureau fedora
ton, came to Minnesota to confer with
representatives Of the state railroad
commissions Of nine grain producing
states, and lay plans for combating
All attempt by the. roads to wipe. our
the existing 10 per cent rate differen-
tial on coarse grain. When the Inter
state Commerce commission last win
ter ordered sweeping reductions in
freight rates on hay, wheat and coarse
grain, it fixed rates on coarse grain
ten per cent lower than those ! on
wheat. Farm Bureau traffic experts
estimate that this ten per- cent differ
ence means a saving of at least &c.
10000 to american farmers raising
coarse grains. 1t is this ten per cent
rate difference which the roads now
seek to wipe out.
Representatives of the American
Farm Bureau federation and the rail
road commissions of Minnesota, Wis
consin, Iowa, South Dakota, North
Dakota, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska
and Oklahoma met in st. Paul to de
eide just what part each should take
in fighting the rate increase. The
railroads attempt to raise rates will
be strenuously opposed. - r..

STEM RUST ON WHEAT

81 An article written by |. Dure, an.
aged farmer a q Hook, sta ting that
stem rust on wheat was caused by
low temperatures and not from infec..
ton by the Sbarberry bush has attrac-
ted a lot Of attention and even some
local farmers believe lin Mr. Dure's
theory The conclusions of agricul-
5tural scientists, however, should not
be discredited, at least until men
equally learned discover that the bar
berry theory is wrong. An agricul-
stural expert makes this explanation:
.s4SSs3''Mr. Dure should understand that
black stem rust is not simply con-
dition Of the stem Of the wheat plant
brought on by the weather, but is d
parasitic plant, which requires seeds
for it's propagation and soil to grow
in. Ne If you look at the reddish spots
Or pustules on the stem Of the grain
under powerful microscope, you will
find that each spot. is composed of
hundreds of little plantlike~ growths,
One glace thru the microscope will
convince anyone that the rust is not
bursting of the skin Of the stem
because Of weather conditions. These
little plants give off seeds called
spores, which are capable of taking
root on other wheat stems during the
growing season. Each plant takes
nourishment from the wheat stem and
chokes the flow Of sap to the head,
making the berries useless for milling.
When winter comes, the rust be-
comes dormant just as other plants do,
by passing into the black stage which
is found on stubble and straw during
the winter and early spring In the
spring the rust begins to terminate
and this is where the barberry bush
comes in The spores now given off
can infect only the barberry bush. If
there are no barberry bushes around,
these spores can find no suitable soil
in which to grow, and die natural
death. Scientists have tried for years
to make these spores grow on othe,
plants, but it cannot be done. If there

DITCH DUMPS BECOME
FOUL WEED SEED BEDS
Should be Leveled and Seeded to Tame
Grasses to Prevent Scattering
of Weed Seeds
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The miles and miles of drainage
bitches in northwestern Minnesota are
developing problem that is not pleas
ant to consider, according to G. p.
Bull, state weed inspector. When
these bitches were made there was no
consideration given to any problem
except to move the water from the
land and thereby render available
for agricultural purposes rich lot of
lands that were more or less a farm
ing liability due to excess water.
The bitches were dug, the dirt from
the cuts being piled high along one or
both sides of the cut. Unfortunately
these dirt dumps were not left in a
condition that was conducive to use
for farming purposes. AS a. result
they have grown up to all manner and
sorts of noxious weeds. Thereby, there
is now problem that must be solved
if weed control work is to succeed
as rapidly and in as full measure as
it. should. An occasional energetic
farmer here and there is getting out
with harrow, disc, pillow and scraper
to level the dump or smooth its sur
face and seed it down to clover, tim
othy or BrOmus. Even the ditch
banks are in some places seeded. Some
of these dumps are used as public
roads. This helps some
It has been suggested that these
dumps should be leveled somewhat,
smoothed off and seeded down as ra-
pidly as the ditch is dug. Whether
this be done by the construction crew,
the state, the county, the township or
the parties owning the adjoining pro-
perty, is debateable question, but
this does not in the least obscure the
fact that for the general welfare OF
the public it will be a fine thing to
have these dumps seeded down and
not left in irregular, ugly, appearing,
useless, uneven piles of dirt. A sug-
gested mixture Of seeds for such places
is as follows: timothy 5 lbs, Bromus
lb, blue grass ID, medium red i h..
sweet clover / lb.
The same thing may be said with
reference to the cuts and fills and
other roadside features. Minnesota
now has thousands Of tourists in the
state each summer. The impression
they carry back to the rest of oui
states may help to settle our vast un
occupied lands and improve those al
ready settled and in the making.

RAILROAD RATES
PERIL W0ODLOTS
Minnesota Should Save Millions On
Fuel, Increase Farmers In
come, Says Forester -.

By Farm Bureau News. Service
Minnesota could conserve it's forests
properly, could keep inside it's borders
millions Of dollars spent ,every year
for coal and for freight to haul it
many hundreds of miles, and could
add large sums to the income of its
farmers, if railroads would cut rates
on wood fuel enough to make it's use
on large scale possible, according to
William L. Cox, state forester.
I'm some Minnesota counties which
are considered fairly we'll settled MI.
Cox said, half the land is woods and
wooded pastures. There is no reason
for considering woodland as waste
land. 1t can and should be made
nearly as profitable as fields in crop.
''The threatened fuel shortage, if as
bad as feared, may not be an unmixed
evil. It may direct attention to the
farm woodlot. A million cords Of
wood are cut annually in Minnesota,
to be used mostly on farms and in
| the smaller villages. But :. several
times this amount should be cut every
year to improve the fam woodlots by
taking out the dead, dying and infer.
ior trees. There is enough <oead tim
| Der alone on farms between the twin
| cities and Iowa to go long way to
ward heating our homes and places
Of business for year. ,-~E=
ably could reduce their rates on fue
wood considerably and make more
money hauling wood than COAL" 3

are barberries in the vicinity, the
spores take root and produce new.
plants which in turn produce the
spores which are capable. of injecting
grain. The only y conclusion is that
the barberry bush must be eradicated.
This will cut the life cycle of the rust
and it will disapp pear. OF course we
have to take the, word of scientists
for these facts, just as we take their
word with regard to diseases of the
human plant. A former generation
would have laughed at the idea Of
