War On Burberry
Bush Is Declared
D. G.. Fletcher, Federal Man Is
Ready To Fight This
Plant.

Relentless war has been declared
upon the barberry bush In Blue
Earth county.
d. G. Fletcher. one Of the federal
field assistants engaged in the Grad
ication of this bush, will be located
in Mankato for the next two
months, and will take ur the Grad
ication work where 1t was left on
last year. He expects. II he gets
the. proper CO. operation from the
farmers and. others interested, to
complete the eradication OF this
rust producing shrub by July tirsl
of this year.
Anyone wishing to aid Mr..
Fletcher and his corps OF men In
the field, should address him at box
322, Mankato, Mimi. -.
The federal government realizing
the damage done by these bushes In
tn sprad OF rust on grain recently
made an increased appropriation OF
1856, 900 for the fighting and eradi-
cation of the plant. This will have
a tendency to sreed UP the work.
and permit OF more men being in
the held. 49,
Mr.. Fletcher in a statement to
The Free Press said that it is not
alone necessary in the eradication
OF the bush to cut it down and burn
it. One must dig up the roots and
grow I'D more thrifty than ever.
Denmark proved conclusively the
value OF barberry eradication, and
by destroying the rust producing
species, as required by the law OF
1908, stopped all serious outbreaks
of black stem rust. Previous to the
removal OF barberry bushes there
had been periodic destructive rust
epidemics. but since that time there
has not been a single serious out
break in Denmark. In the United
States, however, during the same
period there have been two terrific
epidemics causing enormous losses,
the last one occurring in 1915, when
every bushel Of grain was vitality
important. Not year passes in
which the black stem rust does not
destroy several millions of bushels
of wheat and other grains.
The guilt of the common barbery
has long been established to beyond
any doubt 1t gives the rust It's
start in the spring. Without the
barberry the rust is practically
powerless to spread to grains and
grasses. The reason for this is that
there are different stages of rust
during the year. The black spore
stage, or winter stage, OF the rust
lives during the winter on grain
stubble and wild grasses. 1t cannot
spread directly to grains or grasses,
but must spread first to the com
mon barberry to get its start in the
spring. - a. "

fellow walked up to a car and took
an overcoat from it. He walked
back toward the Milwaukee freight
depot, where he. was confronted by
officer Thilgen, who asked him II
he owned the car from which he had
taken the coat. The man assured
the officer that he was the owner
of the auto. Then Officer 1hilgen
asked the fellow what was the num-
Der of the car. He quickly gave
number.
I'VE will go over to the car and
see if that is the right number"

CHILDREN MORE IMPORTANT
THAN WEEDS, SAYS SPEAKER
Der of Addresses Delivered By
Speakers of Note

The first regional conference of
the child welfare boarcs OF Nicollet,
Watonwan and Blue Earth counties
opened this morning at the county
courthouse, with Miss Mable Mad
son of st. James presiding.
The sociology classes OF the
Teachers college attended the meet
ing, which was opened by William
Hodson, director of the state child
ren's bureau. Mr.. Hodson explain
ed the work of the state board OF
control, which was under its juris-
diction the management of all
state and public institutions. He
brought out the fact that the state
now strives to teach and help de-
linquents and criminals to learn
what is right and to teach them
useful occupations, so they may be
Of benefit to society. The old
method used to be to punish them
and confine them, which benefited
neither the state or the individual.
The institutions described by Mr..
Hodson were the home school for
Girls at Sank Center, where they are
taught home work, the boys school
at Redwing, the home for the feeble
minded, which he stated did not
nave thC piopCl uSip lIOul lIt oIdLc,
and urged the conference members
to insist that the state legislature
do something to properly care for
it The school for the deaf and
blind was also discussed, but en-
trance to this school is voluntary.
There is also a hospital for Grip
pied and dependent children at
Phalen park. Here those who can
not receive proper care and inten-
ton in their homes are brought and
cared for. The institution for adult
criminals, as, all know is situated
in saltwater, and every effort is
made here as we'll as in the school
for young people to teach and cor
rect those in the prison, a way to
better living and a better life.
The state board of control has
also the word of the children's bur
eau to oversee, as well as orphan
ages and hospitals for children.
In closing Mr.. Hodson urged the
members of the welfre boards in the
various counties to CO. operate and
do all in their power to better So
cial conditions.
County Allowances Discussed
County Allowances" was the
subject discussed by Judge Harry
Johnson of the Probate court. He
brought out problems that are now
confronting the county and the state
in the matter of giving allowance
to the widows and children of this
stat. One striking feature was that

REPORT ON CROP STATUS
Statement Issued BY H. J. Wagon
Of Northwestern Road

SCdIenchI ISSUED by NJ. y. "aQen
Of Northwestern Road
Winona, May Favorable re-
port on crop conditions in the ter
ritory of the Chicago and North
wetsern railway in Minnesota and
South Dakota is made by H. ]. Wa
gen, the division freight and pas
senger agent. The report notes an
increase in the acreage of winter
rye Considerable, blowing for corn
planting is reported, which is ex-
pected to be general between May
- and Is.
Following is the report:
The weather the past week has
been favorable for crop conditions.
We had rain over the larger portion
of Dakota territory and also Mime
sofa territory on Monday, Tuesday
and Friday. which was very benefi-
Cial.
Seeding OF small grains is now
completed throughout Minnesota
Dakota territory, with soil condi-
tons most excellent. Considerable
blowing has been done the past
week on corn ground; planting will
probably start within a few days
10th and 18th of the month, which
is the average time.
Some of the early sown grain is
above ground and shows good color
and condition
There is a large increase in the
acreage of winter rye, and this crop
is looking exceptionally fine and
better than In any previous years at
this period.
We have advice of considerable
breaking to be done on new land in
our Gettysburg territory, to be sown
tc fax, and there will also he large
increase in the potato acreage in
the vicinity of Watertown, Henry,
EsteHine, Bruce and Castlewood.
While the season is considered
somewhat late, as per our previous
reports. with the continuation OF
favorable weather, such as we have
been having recently. the crops will
start with the condition practically
up to normal.
The entire crop situation over
Minnesota Dakota territory is con-
sidered very promising at this time.

a woman must be practically a
pauper before anything is done to
help her, and thai only after length
OF time that is altogether too long.
Judge Johnson stated that the
legislature recently appropriated a
certain number of inspectors to in
spect weeds. Surely" he said,
our children and women are just
as important as weeds, hogs or di-
seases Of animals, and they should
receive the care ana attention winch
they deserve"
The Judge then gave instances
where widows had been forced to
wait for months and in several cas-
es for a year or more, in order TO
receive ny money whatever.
The discussion of the county al
iowances was led by Mrs. H. @. Ho-
falling, member of the child welfare
board at Mapleton, who brought out
the fact that there are many WON
en-, who are not widows, but whose
husbands are invalids, which ought
to receive some care from the state.
The problem of unmarried moth
ers was discussed by Miss Elizabeth
bureau at st. Paul. She explained
to the board that when such prob
lens arise, it is not just quest
ion of what will become of the
