BARBERRY BUSHES
BROT FROM RUSSIA

Common barberry bushes imported
from Russia have been found in North
Dakota by George G. Mayoue, state
leader of the federal eradication fore
cs. The discovery was made when ex-
hibits were sent to the Mandan, Mis-
souri, Slope and Amidon fairs for the
purpose of demonstrating to farmers
the manner in which the common
barberry spreads black stem rust to
grain crops.
Mr.. Mayoue was surprised to learn
from many visitors at Tao fairs that
the government exhibit save them
their first information concerning the
connection between the barberry and
rust. He met hundreds who did rot
know what barberry looks like. 9th
ers recognized the sample shown.
Some identified it as plant they had
brought with them or imported from
their old homes in Russia. a few re-
mcnbered it as a bush sent them by
nurseries in filling blanket orders for
ornamental shrubs. These customers
were not informed as to tie names of
the plants supplied and at that time
there was no law or prejudice against
the common barberry.
All of the known paintings: Mr.. Ma
youe was told, were set out as long as
thirty years ago. He heard Of none
brought into the state since North Da-
kota pioneered the eradication cam
paign in 1917; a year before work was
done in any other state
Mr.. Mayoue has reported to the
Conference for the Prevention of
Grain Rust, a national organization
with headquarters at Minneapolis,
that his fair exhibits have been re-
ceived favorably everywhere and that
excellent educational results have
been achieved.
"The people out here want 20 do
everything possible to check black
stem rust," he said. "1'hey take
great interest in the barberry eradi-
cation campaign and appear anxious
to aid in the movement"

WILL
COME TO AMERICA

Paris, France, Sept. 11-George
Clemenceau will come 10 the United
States and tell the Americans why
they should stand shoulder to shoul-
der with France and England to fin
ish the task of establishing permanent
world peace. The "Tiger of France"
has been in absolute seclusion since
his retirement from the cabinet. He
will make four speeches in the United
States by the end Of the year accord
ing to the present plans. 81 consider
that America has accomplished her
duties of solidarity during the war,
but in peace, which is the goal of war,
the duties Of solidarity can not be
fixed by the arrangement Of condit-
ions whereby one party may stand
aside. l believe that if the stand had
been maintained between America,
France and England the present crisis
would be avoided. I do not believe
that it can be resumed without solid
iarity. I propose to tell America pub
licly my views before the end of the
year." Richard Kipling, the famous
English poet, scored America for en-
tering the war too late and quitting
too early. Clemenceau made it plain
that he did not agree with Kipling
and that he believed that the United
States should resume it's stand with
France and England so that a stable
peace can be secured for the people of
the world.

WHEAT PRICE WILL.
NOT BE- RAISED FOR
SEVERAL MONTHS

"While the present price Of wheat
is low, those who are studying the
question closely do not feel that there
is chance of any substantial increase
in the next few MONTHS" was the
statement made today by Rex E. vii
lard, farm econci.list at the North
Dakota Agricultural college.
at is impossible to predict with ac-
curacy prices on any commodity: de-
clared Mr.. Willard. 'Wheat is par
ticularly elusive because of some I'M
certain factors that cannot be meas
ured-for example, the purchasing
power of our European market. Eu-
rope has about 100,000,000 bushels Of
wheat less this year than last year.
One might think, necessarily, Europe
would buy that much more wheat this
year than last. The European cour-
tries, however, are beginning to follow
the practice of long milling,' that is,
using larger share of the wheat ker-
mel. They are also substituting coarse
grains and potatoes for wheat flour,
and these practices will cut down tie
European requirements.
ESTIMATES for the 1922 wheat pro-
duction in the northern hemisphere
show a shortage of 2S,000,000 bushels
compared with the 1921 production,
as follows:
Production, millions Of bushels:
1921 1922
Europe ...........1,23S 1,101
Z. S., Canada and
British India ......1,351 y 1892
Other Countries $3.50. 1876 Sd
Total ............2,175 1851
"Planting Of the wheat crop is just
started in the southern hemisphere.
The most reliable reports indicate that
Australia and Argentine are planting
an increased acreage for winter har-
vest.
"Prospects for increase in prices of
all farm products are poor for the i'm
mediate future, with the possible eH-
ception of beef and hogs, according
to available figures. AS cold storage
acts as Shock absorber' between
production and consumption, we may
arrive at some idea Of the future trend
of prices by comparing the amount of
products in cold storage with the fig
ures for previous years. Following
