Rock Salt Will Kill
the Burberry Roots

In circular letter to property own
ers listed as having had common bar
berry bushes on their places L. w.
Melander of University Farm, state
leader of the barberry eradication
forces, urges the Importance of re-
moving all sprouts of the outlawed
bush before they have chance to
spread black stem rust to fields of
grain, as they may do if permitted to
persist the next month or so. He
suggests that spots where bushes have
sprouted be treated with ten pounds
of rock salt. This will kill the roots
and eliminate the necessity of further
attention. A state law expressly
prohibits the growing of common bar
berries and provides a penalty for
failure to eradicate them.

FOLEY'S PHILOSOPHY

Probably the joy-ride is so called
because it so often ends in a gloom
ride with friends of the victim fol-
lowing the hearse.
According to the dailies-the way
some women treat their husbands, it,
a wonder they don't take. out a dog
license for them.
A recent discovery is that monkeys
can be taught good manners. This is
encouraging. In time it may be pos
sible to teach folks.
In this section of the country, peo-
pie are tired saving things for a rainy
day-even the umbrellas borrowed
the last time it rained are willing.
A prominent politician says there
should be free amusement for all the
people. Well, there's the recent Sc
lection and election Of state sena-
tor in Minnesota.
The Index has a toad in the back
yard and his little house is some
where in the garden. He hops out
evenings and loiters in the shade Of
the tomato stalks and nabs flies and
things, never missing a grab. Seems
to do a lot of thinking as he sits there
patiently-like an editor at banquet
There's a lot of picnicking now-a-
days under shade trees along the
highways, also in pastures where the
grass is clean and green nearby a
''giggling" brook and where the hill
side shadows finger. Please pass thai
