BARBERRY ERADICATION
BRING RUST CONTROL
IN WHEAT BELT

Fifteen years of barberry eradica-
ton in the Wheat Belt have accom-
plished much toward reducing the toll
Of black stem rust. The U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture estimates that
this disease destroyed 50,109,000 bu-
shells of wheat annually during the
FIRST five years of this period, less
than 26,0OO,0O0 bushels annually dur
ing the second five years, and only
about 100000 bushels annually
from 1925 to 1880.
In Farmers Bulletin 1544-F "The
Common Burberry and Black Stem
Rust" the Department of Agricul-
ture points out some striking results
of the barberry eradication campaign.
Since 1913 the department aud CO.
operating States in the northern
wheat belt have destroyed more than
100000 barberry bushes. In the
Northern States the common barber
~ is the only source of early grain
rust infection.
Comparing 1916 and 1925, two
years of similar weather conditions,
the following results are obtained.
In Minnesota 81 per cent of the en-
tire crop was destroyed by dust in
1916 and only II per cent in 1925. In
North Dakota 70 per cent of the crop
was destroyed in 1916 and only 5 per
cent in 1925. In South Dakota 81 per
cent Of the crop was destroyed in
1916 and 71a per cent in 1925. There
is every reason to suppose that if so
many barberries had not been eradi-
Gated the epidemic of 1925 would
have been almost as destructive as
that of 1916, except in certain areas
of the Dakotas and neighboring
States where durum wheats are
grown and the hot, dry weather
checked the development of the rust.
A single Cougar old barberry bush
in Decatur County, Indiana was cred
tied with destroying at least $4,000
worth of wheat in the vicinity Of the
town of Alert in 1922. After that
bush was destroyed wheat in the vi
cinity was practically free from rust.
Such facts make it evident, says the
department, that much has been &C
complished by destroying 100000
bushes.
The authors of Farmers Bulletin
1544-F, DR.. E. G. Stakman and DON
aid G. Fletcher, point out that even
though millions of bushes have been
destroyed already and the great loss
es of earlier years have been reduced,
many bushes continue to escape des-
truction. The bulletin, which may be
obtained free by writing to the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, Washing
ton, D. c., offers suggestions for
locating and destroying this bush.

SPECIAL ROAD FUND
WILL GIVE MANY JOBS

The work of preparing plans and
letting contracts for the extra high
way work made possible by the emer-
gency federal aid appropriation will
be rushed rapidly as possible, accord
ing to Commissioner c. M. Babcock,
so that actual work can start as soon
as weather permits in the spring.
The allotment to Minnesota under
the emergency appropriation is ST.
249,993. This is in addition to the
regular federal aid allotment of 49,
497, 1906.
Minnesota intends to comply with
both the letter and spirit of the cat
of Congress, and the relief of unem-
ployment will be the first thought in
planning all work to be done with the
special fund. The work will be dis
tributed as widely over the state as
possible, in projects which can be
started early and completed before
September 1. The federal aid provid-
ed by the special fund can be applied
only in reimbursing the state for
work done before September 1.
The emergency fund is not addi-
tional highway aid, but must be reim-
bursed without interest to the federal
government over a period of five
years commencing with 1888, from
future highway aid allotments.
If any states fail within a reason
able period to claim any part of their
allotment, it may be reappointed to
other states capable of using such
funds before September 1, 1881.
While definite plans have not been
completed, Mr.. Babcock states that
the greater portion of the special
fund will go into additional paving.

SHOEMAKER'S SUSPENDED
SENTENCE WAS REVOKED

F. H. Shoemaker of Red Wing had
his suspended sentence revoked by
Judge Sanborn, recently, and will
have to serve year and day in the

Sanborn suspended the Jail sentence,
but Shoemaker did not have enough
and went home and published an art
icle in his paper, assailing the court
and the result was that Judge San
born revoked the suspension of the
sentence.
Shoemaker was tried and found
guilty of placing defamatory matter
on an envelope sent through the
mails.

Licenses OutIawed in Home
State Not Entitled to Visit
Or's Exemption

Foreign automobiles with license
plates which are out of date in their
home state are also out Of date In
Minnesota, according to state High
way bulletin. While Minnesota wish
es to extend every possible courtesy
to tourists and other visitors, the IN
formation is published especially for
the benefit of persons who have NOV
ed to Minnesota and brought cars
with them, and persons who have pur-
chased cars licensed in other states.
Owners of such cars cannot wait un-
til February Is before paying the tax,
nor operate their cars on the 1880 IL
cense plates until March 81, as they
could if they had Minnesota licenses.
Under the Minnesota law, cars re-
gistered in another state IN which
the owner is resident, may be
operated ninety days in Minnesota
without additional tax, provided the
owner obtains a visitors permit With
in ten days after the car enters the
state. No permits are granted, how
ever, unless the car carries the cur
rent years license. All permits is
sued in 1880 expire December 81. All
permits become void when the owner
becomes a resident Of the state, or ii
the car is sold to a resident. Having
exclusive use Of the car for 80 days
is construed the same as ownership,
under the law.
There are twenty seven states IN
which cars with 1880 plates cannot
be operated after Dec. 81, and one
state, Alabama, in which the 1880
plates expired Nov. 10. Cars carry
ing 1880 plates from such states are
not legally entitled to use the streets
and highways of Minnesota.
Sixteen states have expiration
dates running from Jan. 10 to March
Is. Minnesota, Oklahoma and Wy,
oming permit the use of the l93t
plates until March Is. Motorists from
states which permit the use of the
1880 plates after Jan. 1 may visit
Minnesota any time up to the date
the tags become absolete at home,
but if they intend to stay more than
ten days they should have the 1881
plates and get a visitors permit.
In Oregon the auto tags now in use
are designated "1S30-31," and must
be used until June 80, but new tags
must be on the cars July 1. The
majority of states have not twilight
period but require the use of the ole
plates up to Dec. 81, or some other
fixed date, and do not permit their
use after that date. A few grant ex-
tensions ranging from ten to go days
but only two beside Minnesota permit
use of the either the old or new plates
during a period as long as 80 days.
Minnesota Highway patrolmen anc
license inspectors all carry lists show
ing the expiration dates in all the
states.
