THE JAPANESE BARBERRY
is HARMLESS TO WHEAT

A vigorous campaign to eradicate
the common barberry in thirteen north
central states is being waged by the
United States department of agricul.
ture, in cooperation with various state
and local agencies. In connection with
surveys to locate and destroy the
bushes in town and country a wide.
spread publicity campaign also is being
conducted in order that everyone shall
become familiar with the common bar.
berry and the reasons why it should
be located and destroyed. This pub.
licity includes talks and lectures be.
fore various gatherings in the different
states and the wide use of articles in
newspapers and periodicals, describing
the common barberry bush and urging
it's removal.
In all the bulletins, other articles,
and posters published in the depart
ment, carr has been taken to show
clearly by text and illustration that
the Japanese barberry, Berberis thun-
bergii, is harmless. 1t does not carry
the stem rust of wheat and therefore
may be planted wherever desired.
In some of the publicity articles pre-
pared by representatives in the field
this statement about japanese barber
ry has been unintentionally omitted.
In consequence some people have come
to think that all barberries are HARM
full and should be destroyed and not
used for ornamental purposes in fu-
ture years. This is true of the common
b%arberry, Berberis vulgaris, both the
green leaved and purple leaved. 1t is
not true of the Japanese barberry,
Berberis thunbergii, which is harmless,
need not be destroyed, and may be
planted without risk.
The Japanese ~barberry is usually a
low, graceful shrub, usually two or
three feet in height. Its leaves are
small and the edges have no teeth. The
spines on the stem usually occur one
in a place, although occasionally two
or three are found together. The
flowers and later the berries occur in
groups of only two or three, like
gooseberries.
The common barberry may reach a
height of ten or fifteen feet, has much
leaves with sharp teeth on the
edges, anc the spines on the stem u.s.
ually are in threes, though sometimes
as many as four or five occur together
and occasionally only one or two. The
flowers, and later the berries occur in
long dropping clusters like c%urrants.
1t is the harmful shrub. Destroy it
wherever found.

SECOND LARGEST
CROP FOR STATE
Montana's 1922 Wheat Yield Is Near
Record; 5000 Harvest Hands
Are Needed

After several short years Montana
reports the second largest wheat CROP
in the history of the state, according
to a report issued by George E. Tuck
er, field director for the federal farm
labor bureau, whose central headquar.
tiers are in Kansas City, but who has
temporary headquarters in Aberdeen,
S. D. The report of Mr.. Tucker is to
the effect that a survey Of crop condi-
tions and labor needs indicates that
Montana's harvest will require 5000
men from outside the state. Mr.. Tucker
recently was in Helena and arranged
plans whereby he would cooperate
with Commissioner of Agriculture and
Labor Chester C. Davis in an attempt
to assist in supplying a sufficient num-
Der of harvest hands for Montana.
"The farm labor bureau has been
called on by the agricultural commits
sioner, farm bureau extension depart
ment and business men of Montana to
assist in caring for their harvest. AS
a result this bureau has undertaken
to supply the ten wheat counties of
northeast Montana with at least three
thousand men, and to assist as far as
possible in directing men to other Sec
lions where harvest hands are needed"
the report continues.
"Late rains have insured a fine crop
for Montana, but information regard
ing conditions and the appeal for help
came too late to include Montana's la
Dor needs in the regular recruiting
campaign for men and for the northern
states. 1t now becomes necessary,
therefore. to make a special effort to
get this labor for Montana.

Pacific and the 500 railroads have an
nounced a special harvest rate, effec-
tive August l to Is, Of SIS per capita

from St. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth,

"The counties in Montana to which

ley, Daniels, Sheridan, Roosevelt, Rich
land, Dawson, McCone, Garfield and
Fallon.
A distributing office with a special
agent in charge was opened August /
at Bainville, Mont. Bainville is in the
southeast corner of Sheridan county
and only about 10 miles from the North
Dakota line. 1t is at the junction of
two branches of the Great Northern
railroad. Men reporting to the office
at Bainville will be directed to work
in nearby fields.
while the harvest has not started
yet and the wage question has not as
yet been definitely fixed, we have been
authorized to offer a wage in harvest
of $3.50 per day and board.
Newspapers, chambers of CON-
merce, ~postmasters, bankers, county
agents and business men generally are

RAIL DIVORCE
WOULD |NJURE
IDAHO STATE?
Separation Of Pacific
Lines Would Develop
u. P. Monopoly, Says
Senator Gooding Tells
|. c. c. of Advantage
Combined Operations

Washington, Dec. 1.-Separation of
Pacific system would blast the last
hope left in the hearts of the people
Of Idaho for better railroad service,
Senator Gooding, republican, of that
state, asserted Thursday before the
interstate III commission. APP
p~earing in his own behalf, he declared
the commission shoulud grant the
Southern Pacific authority TO continue
its present control Of the Central Pa
cific lines even though a supreme court
decree had been entered ordering their
separation. Idaho was faced with a
practical monopoly Of transportation
by the Union Pacific railroad and its
subsidiaries, Senator Gooding said, and
the policy of that railroad system had
wrecked and ruined the state of
Idaho" by maintaining high rates: If
the Central Pacific should be separated
from the Southern Pacific, he asserted.
it would pass under control Of the
Union Pacific directly or indirectly.
1--WE know exactly what to expect
If the Union Pacific is allowed to dom
mate the Central Pacific Senator
Gooding declared. Rates will con
tinue to be the highest that there are
in the country. 1t is not hard to real
iZe what is the matter with Idaho now
when you read the rate schedules
which the Union Pacific maintains.
1--WE have just "a hope that the
Southern Pacific controls and the Cen
trail Pacific will some day build up
into Idaho from Ogden, Utah, and give
US competition. / am in this matter
to urge the continued unity of the two
roads solely by a decree to see my
state great in the future"

mittee of the Chicago Association of

corporations were called as witnesses.
All Of them advanced the argument
that the Southern Pacific by reason of
it's rail and water routes was eucour-
aging seaboard to seaboard traffic be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific coasts
at the expense of the middle west and
the Mississippi valley producing area
generally. An independent Central Pa

contended, was necessary to give them

sian army or her eastern frontier; il
she sides with Russia in demanding
complete control Of the waterway, she
fears the British navy on the Straits.
The Turks thus far have temporized
by saying that they favored NJ. Tchit-
cherin's plan, but Ismet Pasha and his
associates were impressed by the plan
presented by Lord Curzon Wednesday
on behalf of the entente, approved in
general by the United States.
Turkey has always found protection
in numbers. She has. played the Eu-
ropean countries against each other
again. and she hesitates to pin her
fate to Russia alone while the rest
of Europe, supported by the United
States. oppose an effort to turn the
Black sea into q Russian lake.
NJ. Tchitcherin, fighting hard to de-
feat Lord Curzon's plans, urges that
it would enable a combination of pow
ers to like the entente to keep a
great navy in the Black sea, as each
member Of the combination could
maintain there as many ships as be-
longed to Russia, or whatever Black
sea power happened to have the larg-
est navy at the time.
Turkey. however. in considering
Russia's plan, apparently has an eye
on her own pocketbook. If she
adopts NJ. Tchitcherin's proposals,
Turkey would be forced to make a
great outlay for a fleet and for for
tifications. If she has no money she
would prefer to have someone else
bear the expense Of policing the
Straits.
Ismet Pasha is in constant COM
munication with Mustaph Renal
Pasha. There arc many rumors of a
possible adjustment of the questions
by the Christmas holidays inasmuch
as the situation between the powers
and Turkey has cleared considerably.
