ent at the meeting not to be surprised
if they should find a common barberry
in their community, even if they sup
posed that all common barberries had
been eradicated, because it is pos
sible for barberry seeds to live in the
soil for long periods of time and when
the proper conditions exist, young
bushes, which can spread stem rust,
will spring up.
He cautioned them not to dig the
bushes, because if a fragment of the
root is left in the ground it will sprout
like quack grass. If salt is applied
to the base of common barberry
bush, it will be completely killed.
Mr. Rasmussen also pointed out that
there had been a considerable reduc-
ton in losses from black stem rust
since the beginning of the barberry
campaign. In the 13 barberry eradi-
cation states the annual average loss
to wheat from black stem rust was
approximately 33 million bushels from
1919 to 1923 inclusive, while in the
period 1924 to 1928 inclusive the aver
age annual loss was II 100000 BUSH
els. The eradication of over 17,5OO,-
600 common barberry bushes in the
13 nOrth-central barberry eradication
states at least has been partially re-
spOnsible for increasing the prOduc-
ton of wheat 21,5O0,OOO bushels a
year by reducing stem rust losses.

Gently returned from a four months
tour of Europe and northern Africa
and has repeated his offer of $4,000
for satisfactory proof as to the>rotun-
dity of the earth.
Well it has been several years since
this old question has come up and we
do not predict a great furore over it,
but nevertheless Mr.. Voliva should be
asked few questions. For instance,
we would like to know, since he in
sists that the earth is large flat
disc, how it is that we have the
various seasons and our days and
nights. Also we would ask why Com
mander Richard Byrd and his crew of
Antartic explorers are in darkness
down near the south pole if the earth
is flat. We wonder also why it is
that the smoke and the sails of APP
preaching boats appear first on the
high seas. These are only few of
the many questions we and others
could ask Mr.. Voliva.

HOPEFUL SIGN

The Borah resolution in the Senate
asking that tariff revision be confined
to agriculture and its products lost
by only one vote Monday. This is a
hopeful sign and indicates that heed
is given to the protest of the North
west and that Congress knows by this
time that folks out here mean bust
ness and want campaign promises full
filled. 1t of course also means that
tariff revision will not be confined to
agricultural products alone, but the
industrial East is not apt to be so
cocky and do anything they might feel
like doing. The voice from home has
been heard and it has a bearing as
Congressman Goodwin intimates in his
letter to the American. Such actions
as taken at the Dairymen's picnic at
Pine lake Sunday in sending tele-
gram to Senator BOrah and the tele-
gram by the Farm Bureau all has a
bearing and spurs on those represent
ing us at the national seat of govern
ment. The Senate by its vote on the
Borah resolution has given evidence
that it will listen to the Northwest
and there is every reason for the
Northwest to voice its sentiments and
to ask for what is just and demand
that which has been promised.

THE COUNTY FARM BUREAU

Officers and members of the Pine
County Farm Bureau are making
strong efforts toward having the Blu
the county by securing an appropri-
alton from the county commissioners
and with this end in view petitions
were circulated some time ago in the
First and Second commissioner dis
trictS where majority of farmers in
each district signed the petition asking
the county board to make an appropri-
alton. OF late interested parties have
been circulating like petitions i'm the
Fourth commissioner district and
have already secured a majority of
the voters at the last election as sign
ers. The Fam Bureau is having the
petitions circulated only in the dis
tricts where the commissioners OPP
posed the appropriation.
The Farm Bureau can be of con-
siderable service to the whole county
and taking it as a whole it appears
that the Bureau has been more active
and has accomplished more for Pine
county the past year than has been
the case in previous years. Perhaps
this is because it has had some oppo-
sition. A little criticism sometimes
spurs on individuals and organiza-
tions. A weakling faints away and
dies from criticism, and therefore the
Farm Bureau is entitled to some cred
it for getting up on its hind heels and
fighting for existence when there is
opposition, and demonstrating to the
people that it has accomplished some
thing and has cause for existence.
1t appears to us that the county
agent has been too eager to have his
say in some caseS-like for instance
the selection of officers for the de-
funct Egg and Poultry Producers as
promoting a federal forest in Pine
county, and the like. 1t would appear
that the work of the county agent is
to promote farming-extension work,
and he has been engaged for that pur-
pose, and not to work for a forest in
the county.
But on the other hand we can. not
hire a man to do any work and espe-
cially public work but what there
would be some criticism of 1.-THE
county agent is human like the rest
of us-he has often invited criticism
and here he has it. The county agent,
it must be remembered, is not the
Farm Bureau, and yet it is very i'm
portant and has big bearing as to

HOUSE OF DAVID-ALL
STAR GAME A FARCE

The play between the House of
David colOred baseball team and an
all star local team from Pine county
which was scheduled as baseball
contest was anything but contest,
as the colOred boys had the local
whites so far outclassed that it re-
sembled more game of marbles. The
House of David team is likely in the
class of American Association teams
such as Minneapolis and ST. Paul.
They are most excellent batters and
one fan said the next day that they
could still have been batting in the
first inning had they so desired The
cOlOred boys made about ten scores
in the first two innings and after that
just "mOnkeyed," sometimes a batter
would bunt, run up and pick up the
ball and throw himself out at first,
and the like of that. The final score
was likely about Is to 10, but no at
tentiOn was given to the score all the
fans got out of it was capers done
by the colored boys, their funny say
ings, etc. In the eighth inning one
of their big "strappers,' weighing
perhaps 225 pounds, the picture of
health and fast athlete, stepped to
the plate, everything quiet and list
less, said: Nov for the benefit of
those who came late" and the Negro
brogue was all there. He likely meant
to put one over the fence However,
this did not happen, but he batted one
that went down past second base like
bullet. The all stars had a good
outside battery, and had the team
been selected from three or four coun-
ties = the best procurable = there
might have been something of con-
test and the fans would have gotten
more for their money. Four or five
of the players were right from Hinck-
ley. The White House of David team
played at Hinckley last year against

years ago-and no one can. blame the
vice president for this kindness to-
ward his sister. But Mrs. LOngworth
refused to attend a social function
where the vice presidents sister was
present because she ranked higher.
All this fuss while attention should
have been given to bigger problems
the purposes for which the repre-
sentatives of the people were elected.
But the latest squabble is over Mrs.
Hoover having had the wife of a
colOred congressman as guest for tea
one day. The reaction this time how
ever came from Texas-the state SEN
ate-which passed resolution
against such recognition of Negroes.
The viewpoint of the south against
the Negro is something that is diff
cult for the entire country to under
stand

WEEDS CAN
BE DOWNED
Continued from Page ~

Summer fallow is sure way to kill
all weeds in one season, except Spurge
and Field Cress. These two need a
longer sentence to solitary confine-
ment'-under ground, but this sum-
mer fallow must be so thorough that
no green leaves are allowed to show
above the surface.
The Department of Agriculture will
be glad to furnish available infOrma-
ton regarding chemical weed killers;
when how and what to use them Com
mon salt is very useful, and eff
fective weed killer and thoroughly
practical on small areas.
Attention was called to the fact
that town chairmen must act as local
weed inspectors if the county COM
missiOners do not appoint county
weed inspectors as is the case in this
county. The people of the locality
must cooperate in this weed eradi-
cation campaign. The town chairman
weed inspector needs their support.
While weed control and eradication
is an individuals program, it is also
a community plOJOCt W Tic chIcHl
that each individual must cooperate
in the effort to eliminate the weed
pests. Clean seeds and support of the
Pure Seeds Act" is a close partner
of the weed law and is the first fac
tor of a weed eradication program.
The state seed testing laboratory has
had more than $500 samples to in
spect this past year. Many of these
have been mixed with large numbers
of nOxiOus weed seeds. Among some
of the worst samples analysed was
a red clover seed sample having 49,
635 dodder seeds per pound More
than 200 samples were sent as coming
from one seed house in South Dakota.
The average of all these, good and
bad, mostly bad, were below standards
required by the Minnesota Seeds Act.
Common Burberry.
Mr.. Rasmussen of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, explained i'm de-
tail the relation of common barberry
to black stem rust. He pointed out
how stem rust can spread for long dis
tances from common barberry even
from county to county. At present
the biggest problem is to find and
eradicate those bushes which have
arisen from seeds spread by birds in
past years. He told the township
chairmen and the other people pres
