MIDDLE WEST
ASKED TOAD
In RUST FIGHT
Must Match Federal Appro.
priation for Barberry
Eradication

Minneapolis, Jan. 2O.-Unless the
middle western states vitally inter
ested in barberry eradication make
adequate appropriations for continu-
/ ing the fight to control black stem
rust the federal government may
greatly reduce its future allowance
for the activity according to infor.
nation received from Washington by
the Prevention of Grain Rust which
has it's headquarters here.
The first move in the plan to turn
the matter over to the states was the
incorporation in the barberry bill
now before congress of provision
to increase the appropriation from
$35O.OO0 to $5OO,OOO only in the
event the extra $150,00O is matched
by the states. The Houk BE passed the
$35O.O00 bill without any restriction
but the Senate, seeing the economy
of Fastening the completion of tn.
survey, adopted an amendment grant
ing more money contingent on an
equal amount of state aid. The bill
now is before conference commit
tee with the Farm Bureau Federation
and business interests of the North
west urging the acceptance of the
Senate amendment.
The government has been carrying
the burden of barberry eradication
since 1918 and has spent approxi-
matelv $1,O0O,O0O on the enterprise.
The United States department of
agriculture estimates that the work
can be completed during the next
two years at cost Of $S5O,OOO. With
$500.000 from Congress this year and
$150.000 more from the states, lead
ers in the movement believe thel.
will be no trouble in raising the
funds necessary to finish the job in
1924. thereby make possible the con-
troll of black stem rust in the spring
wheat area.
Ten states are directly concerned
in the activity. They are Ohio, In
diana. Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin,
Nebraska. Iowa, Minnesota, NORTH
Dakota and South Dakota. If the
Senate amendment prevails it will be
necessary for these states to raise
S150.0O0 to obtain the maximum fed
eral expenditure and make possible
the economy Of completing the task
in the next two years. +,

The office of the state treasurer
is asking the legislature for $4,000
with which to push collections on
about a quarter of million dollars
in delinquent farm loans, made by
the Bank of North Dakota during
l919-2O.
Not payment has been on more
than a million dollars of the loans
not all Of which is due, however, ac-
cording to j. o. Lyngstad, deputy to
the treasurer. There is no money on
hand in the office with which to pay
foreclosure expense, insurance pre-
miums or taxes, he says in the fol-
lowing statement:
"Of 765 farm loans, made by the
Bank of North Dakota during 1919
and 1920 now held by the state trea-
surer, aggregating the sum Of
$2,SO2, 1925 there are:
"2 loans which have been paid in

"224 loans on which one or more
lnstallments have been paid.
"243 loans on which no payments
have been made.

while the state treasurer has full
control over these loans and can
foreclose the mortgages for non-pav-
ment, no money has been provided
with which to pay foreclosure expen-
ses, insurance premiums or taxes. If
any of this land was sold for taxes

"A request for SAC, 900 for this pur
