faithful and highly efficient SER
vices rendered by him during his
term Of office as Adjutant Cen
eral. When appointed Adjutant
General it was decided by the
Honorable Secretary of War that
the efficiency of the National
Guard of this state was at such
a low ebb that the state was not
entitled to the appropriation from
the federal government under the
act Of January p, 1908. Only
few months elapsed before ne
standard of efficiency had Seen
raised by General Creel to the
extent that the Secretary Of War
rescinded his adverse decision.
General Creel continued along
these lines and brought the
Guard to that state of efficiency
which impelled Lieutenant Col
onel George A. Dodd, Tenth U.
S. Cavalry, chief umpire at the
camp of instruction near Fort u.
A. Russell. Wyoming. to report
to the Honorable Secretary of
War that fully 80 per cent of the.
National Guard of this state
could be placed Immediately on
an equal footing with the regu-
lar army in the field for active
service, thus giving to the Ma
tional Guard Of this state a posi-
ton seldom attained by the Guard
Of any other state.

Washington, June 17-(AP)-A
decade of warfare against black

The United States department
of agriculture will send 225 men
into that area soon to locate and
destroy the common barberry, host

Importance to the entire nation.
Barberry eradication has reduced
stem-rust losses from an average
of 5O,419,OOO bushels of grain for
the 6-year period, 1915 to 1920, to
l5,920,0OO bushels for the period

Before the dreaded plant disease
can be eradicated, it's life cycle
must be broken by barberry ex-
termination. The individual farm
er can do his best work toward
such an end by directing these
men to suspected harmful bushes"
Since inception Of the crusade in
1918, the government and allied
interests have destroyed 14,383,0 900
common barberry bushes in Colo-
RADIO, Illinois, Indiana. Iowa. Mich

ka. North Dakota, Ohio. South Da-
kota, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
Process Is Simple
The' process is simple. Ten
pounds Of crushed rock salt or a
gallon Of kerosene, applied to the
crown of the plant will kill bar
berry bush whose base is one foot
in diameter.
Ccsnmon barberry is an erect
shrub which may be found grow
~" as Seeding a few inches
high or as bush up to IL feet in
height. Scientists urge that it
not be confused with the short
Japanese barberry which will not
harbor black stem, rust. In year
favorable to rust, one barberry
bush may be responsible for de-
velopment of 90 quadrillion, 736
trillion spores.
"Due to the late season." author
tiles advise, much still may be-
done to protect the spring wheat
crop. Numerous spores have been
slowttto develop and all barberry
bushes found now should be cut
Immediately and burned, and salt
applied to the roots. Infected
bushes are easily detected. Rust
