The Bible School held at 10 O'Clock
in the NJ. e. Church was inspiring. The
number of Blues attending was So; the
Reds were so in number, making to-
tai to 10S present at Sunday school.
The sermon was preached by the pas
tor, Rev. G. w. Branford, whose theme
was emphasizing the fact that the pru-
dent man will roast that which he has
brought in from the hunt; whereas,
slothful man does not finish or carry
out the task or work that has been
placed before him. The Epworth League
service was led by Mrs Mamie Evans.
The topic was Building a League Book
Shelf" She gave a splendid talk, say
ing that the Bible was the greatest
Book for our League Book Shelf; also
there are other very good books and
magazines circulated through our diff
ferent libraries which keep us in touch
with current events, that the people
need to help them live better and
broader lives.
We are glad to have Mrs Mamie Ev-
ans return home, as I have stated in
my letter previous, having spent a part
of the winter with her son, j. Oliver
Evans, and other relatives in Philadel-
phia. She has been an inspiration to our
church and community.

ERADICATION OIL
LAST BARBERRY|
BUSH Is SOUGHT
Trained Crew Will Clean Up
Kidder, Adams and Grand
Forks Counties

Fargo, N. D., July 6.-(AP)-
Thorough and systematic survey Of
Pierce,s Kidder. Adams and Grand
Forks counties for the purpose Of
locating and eradicating common
barberry bushes has been started by
. crew Of men working under the
direction Of George c. Mayoue. as
sociate pathologist Of the United
States department Of agriculture.
A survey was made in Pierce and
kidder counties in 1922 and in
Adams county in 1923 but the work
was done very rapidly in order to
find and eradicate the largest
number Of barberry bushes possible
IN q given length of time. Since
then many other bushes have sprung
up from seeds scattered before the
original bushes were destroyed, and
from sprouts. The survey this wear
will be designed to find and destroy
the last barberry bush in each
county. The barberry is said by
Psychologists to be responsible for
black stem rust in wheat.
Every city and rural property
will be thoroughly inspected in this
survey" Mayoue said. ~Barberry
bushes are likely to be found any
where that shrubs will grow. Con-
sequently it will be necessary to
search along fence rows, stream
banks, wooded areas and every foot
Of territory where barberries might
be found. This will require con-
siderable time and the barberry
scouts will have to spend several
weeks in the counties mentioned"
$4,000 Destroyed
Statistics on the barberry era
dication movement show that more
than $4,000 Of the shrubs have been
destroyed in North Dakota. This
is part Of a total of more than
100000 which have been de-
stroyed in 13 states under the SUPER
vision Of the federal department of
agriculture.
Although the number of bar
berries destroyed in North Dakota is
not large as compared to the total
number and the number de-
stroyed in some other states,
q gricultural experts declare
that one barberry on the Dakota
plains can do more damage than
many hundreds in the more thickly
hilly regions of the east
ern and central part of the United
States.
The personnel of the barberry era
dication crew working in North Da-
kota this year is as follows: Rob-
ert Adams, Anamoose; Cyril Pes
chel, Wahpeton; George Newgard,
