millions of dollars of damage done
every year to the wheat and grain
crop by the black or stem rust. The
Japanese barberry has been found in
nocent. 1t may stay.
The Congressional Record contains
several pages of debate preliminary to
the passing of senate amendment to
the annual appropriation bill for the
Agricultural department, raising the
item tor lighting the barberry from
$35O,OOO TO $50OOO0. 1t appears from
the debate that among other things
That the barberry has been praeti-
cally exterminated in ATS wheatrais-
ing counties. leaving 391 counties yet
to be handled In thirteen states.
That with a further expenditure Of
$SO0.0O0 ty the federal government
and contributions from the states the
work can Q completed In one and six
tenths Yeas.
That the ground must be gone over
a second time.
That the rust spores have been
found up In the air several thousand
feet, ami that they are carried hun
dreds of miles.
That in 1916, by way of example,
an estimated wheat crop Of over 1885,
100000 bushels in North Dakota was
reduced to 100000 bushels, the rust
striking the crop in four days in July.
The common barberry is II sort of

The barberry was formerly used for
medicinal purposes. Dyes were made
from its bright red berries. Today 1t

shrub in the yard, and II is every

put barberry shrub In the ground

lars to the farmers of this country
Such an event would have disas-
trous effect upon the bread supply of
the United States and other countries
dependent upon us for their wheat
and flour. If at any time before har-
vest a warm wet spell should come
this rust might wipe out millions of
bushels Of grain. There is just one
way to prevent this outbreak This
Is to dig from the ground and burn
every barberry bush of every variety
except the Japanese-which alone has
been declared innocent.
For the rust to live II is necessary
that II spend one stage of Its existence
upon the leaves of the barberry. With
out these leaves the life cycle would
be broken.
In the summer the rust Is a reddish

TURKEY insists that her decision

OCCUPATION of more German
billion Of shipments of manufactured
products from the Ruhr to other parts
Of Germany, arrests Of many officials
for defiance of French orders, and de-
cislve steps toward the operation of
trains by French crews marked the
week In the occupied region. First
Westinghouse and then Gelsenkir-
chen declared complete strikes against
the French, and the latter town was
fined one hundred million marks for
violation of military orders and be-
cause of a clash In which two French
soldiers were wounded. Refusal to
pay the fine resulted In the arrest of
the leading bankers of the place. The
boycott of the French all over the
Ruhr grew more effective daily. and
the retaliatory measures increased In
severity. The French ordered all
reich and state officials to stay out
of the Ruhr because the visits of
some had resulted In stirring up more
trouble. The Berlin government de-
cided to test this order by sending
two cabinet members into the terri
tory. The outcome is not known at
this writing.
One of the latest of General De-
goutte's orders was that the 10000
German security police In the occupied
region should be dlsarmed.

IN THE face of increasing opposition
from the Germans, the French are
displaying a corresponding increasing
determination to have their way In the
Ruhr. Moreover, they last week let
Great Britain know that they wished
her either to cooperate to a certain
extent or get out of her way. Minis
ter of Public Works lie Trocquer and
General Payot, in charge of communl-
cations In the Rhineland, went to Lon
don to ask that the British turn over to
the French a strip of the occupied ter

route for coal from the Ruhr The de-
mand was rather embarrassing to the
British government, which cannot
make up its mind whether or not to
withdraw Its troops entirely from the
Rhine. 1t Is believed such withdrawal
would be ordered at once were 1t not

would be the setting up of a buffer

ing the British at Colgate. favors re-
naming there as long as possible for
this reason only. II Is said that In
recent report to Downing street
Cooley pointed out the impossible mill
tary position of the British on the
Rhine through Mr.. Bonar Laws re-
pudlation of the French policy on oc-
cupation, warned the cabinet that the
British forces were liable to be mixed
In the French and German clashes, If
they became widespread. and drew at
tention to the fact that the French
were likely at any time to violate the
British zone by transporting poilus

DRIME MINISTER BONAR LAW
and Lord Curzon, In the parlia-
ment debates on the kings speech
both expressed dsapproval of the
French policy. Mr.. Bonar Law said
the British troops might have to be
recalled at any hour and that this
meant the almost certain rupture of
the entente. He told Of the London
and Paris conferences, saying that
from the first he saw 1t would be i'm

cause the French themselves had two
aims which were Incompatible. They
wanted money. but they feared to al.

to pay. They were determined from
the first to seize the Ruhr, although
they were going to get nothing out of

would be satisfied with nothing less.

able to prepare for war of revenge.
Marquis Curzon, addressing the
lords. was equally certain that the
French policy Is unsound. and closed
