The farmers and town residents
too, are generally giving the work
ers highly gratifying support in
their efforts to eliminate centers of
black stem rust infection in this
county. During the last week farm
ers have reported to the govern
ment agents black stem rust infec-
tion at different times, some years
the loss being very noticeable.
Property owners usually see the
necessity of removing their common
barberries. The connection between
this bush and stem rust of grains is
now well understood, especially in
the rural sections. When a farmer
is doubtful about the relationship,
the worker frequently can show him
how grain in his neighborhood is
much more severely rusted in the vi
cinity of common barberries than it
is at greater distances from the
bushes. The wind has been known
to carry the spores from common
barberries to grains for distance
of five miles or more.
When barberries are found on
certain property. the owner usually
does not know that his bushes are of
the rust-spreadi'ng variety. Oc-
casionally man is encountered who
has never heard that black stem
rust gets it's start on barberry. In
either case property owners general
ly are glad to cooperate in any effort
that will reduce the farmers losses

While the contest in the Republi-
can ranks for the gubernatorial
nomination seems to be one that is
going to be about the most bitter in
recent years, there seems to be an
agreement on other places on the
Republican state ticket, SO that the
fight will not extend below that of
the candidates for governor 1t is
said to be reasonably certain S. e.
Forney, chairman of the state tax
commission, will be given the nomi-
nation for state treasurer. Through
his experience in the department of
the state tax commission, and al
ways being interested in various ca
pacities of the state government,
Chairman Forney is peculiarly fitted
to fill the office of treasurer of the
state, and because of this fact, vir-
tual agreement to give him the
nomination is said to have been
reached.

The ''Ruhr of Ohio"

Twelve counties of northeastern
Ohio are often referred to as the
"Ruhr of Ohio" because they fur
nish 41.23 of the total tax valuation
of the state. These counties are
Cuyahoga, Ashtabula, Lake, Geauga.
Trumbull, Portage, Summit, Lorain,
Medina, Stark, Columbiana and Ma
honing. In view of the fact that
Judge Florence Allen will retire
from the supreme court bench in
the event that she is nominated for
United States senator, there has
been a demand practically unani-
nous, that this district be represent
ed on the supreme court, and that is
one of the reasons they are backing
the candidacy of Judge G.. G.. Wash
burn of Lorain county for place
on the supreme court bench.
There really wasn't as much sur
prise caused by the refusal of
Charles L. knight, Akron publish
er, to become a gubernatorial can
didate on the Republican ticket as
SOuie WOulu nave Iuo puDllC DC1ICN0.
Fact is that Mr.. Knight is shrewd
politician. He has been travelling
from one end to the other in the
state of Ohio comforting with party
leaders. He has met with much en-
couragement and was assured by
these leaders that he could have
the nomination. But after he had
completed his little conferences he
asked himself What will I do with
the nomination." 1t is said that
Mr.. knight found Republicans,
Democrats and Donahey in his trav-
els, and that the latter predominated
by very considerable majority 1t
is said that he found Governor Dom
ahey stronger today than ever be-
fore, and that the main reason for
his withdrawal was not from any
fear that he could land the nomina-
ton, but his real fear was the result
at the polls in November, and hav-
ing made one losing fight, he was
not anxious to make another. There
are many political leaders in Co
lumbus who think that the Repub1i-
can nominee for governor has not
yet been announced, and that none
of those now in the contest Will ap-
pear at the top of the eligible list
after the votes are, counted in Aug

]. L. Shriver, County Agent
The government agents who are
engaged in searching Morgan county
for common barberry bushes, report
several planted bushes and many
escapes have been found in the vi
cinity of Triadelphia. The original
bushes were brought to that vicinity
from Boston more than 20 years ago,
and planted on the property now
owned by Luther Marion and Frank
Newman.
1t is known that birds have eaten
the fruit of common barberry bushes
and in this manner may have carried
seeds to the woodlands, along
streams, fields and fence rows of the
vicinity of Triadelphia.

COLUMBUS LETTER
IBy ChaS. w. RlfeD
Opposes o. :. u. Entrance Fee
Increase

Strong opposition was offered
when the board of trustees of Ohio
State University met to consider the
suggestion that student fees be in
creased by FL. S. Atkinson, member
of the board, and the probable DEM
ocratic nominee for lieutenant
governor. Mr.. Atkinson not only op-
posed such plan, but suggested
that il any change be made it be for
higher class room tests of the stu
dent body, and not higher charge
for them to get the benefits of Ohio's
great institution of learning. He
pointed out that many parents were
making sacrifices to send their chill
dren to Ohio State University, and
it would be a hardship for them
were the fees increased, pointing
out the fact that this college was
supported by the state, and the
young men and women of Ohio who
are trying to equip themselves for
later life, should not suffer any
handicap because of excessive en-
trance fees.
