Lowell Wants to See Anti Semitic Prejudice Wiped
 Out in This Country

Cambridge. Jan. i5.-President 4 Lawrence Lowell Of Harvard uniyer sity today declared it was his earnes desire to sec the. abolition in thi, country of anti-Jcwish prejudice ana Of the segregation of Jewish people His expression was contained in c statement which he said was oc. casioned by an account appearing in today's New York Times of remarks by an unnamed speaker addressing the mems club of the Temple Israel there yesterday.
 This speaker was quoted as saying that he was a Harvard man of Jew ish birth. who in an extended conver- sation with President Lowell on a train recently was told by the head of Harvard that within a generation probably the Jew would have to be treated as the negro is in the south.
 A statement issued at Harvard uni : versity today said:
 President Lowell denied having said the things attributed to him by an anonymous speaker reporting a private conversation in speech quot ed in the New York Times. This grossly misrepresented his views, at tributing to him unfriendly senti- ments which he does not feel. His earnest desire is to see anti-Semetic prejudice and Semetic segregation abolished in this country and he be- lieves that Jews and Gentiles should work together to this end not shutting their eyes to the facts of mutual pre- judice where it exists but seeking to eliminate it."

Burberry Hedge Spoiled
Minnesota Crop of Oats

Hundreds and hundreds of instances
IAN be cited to show that the common
5arberry is the most important factor
n the spread of rust in northwest
states. In a government bulletin on
rust and barberry, DR.. f. c. Stskman
Of University Farm relates the expert
enc Of a farmer at Crystal Bay, Lake
Minnetonka, Mimi, who had a bar
berry hedge Of 1886 bushes. He had
tried to grow oats on his farm for 10
years, but each year the black stem
rust destroyed almost all the grain.
Then n spring he destroyed the
hedge before the bushes had become
.usted. Ten days before the harvest
The field was examined thoroughly and
no stem rust could be found. The
yield and quality proved to be excel
ient. 1t was the first time In ten years
that a crop had been grown success
FULLY on that farm. Every Minnesota
and owner should begin early in the
spring to destroy the barberry for the
protection of grain crops.
