TTENRY VILLAGES Agricul-
II ture Department is having a
hard time explaining why it is
spending S2376,920 to eradicate
barberry bushes in the Northwest.
The money was allocated last
month for the control of black
stem rust in the spring wheat sec
ton, where farmers are staring
ruefully at a ruined 1885 wheat
crop-just as they stared at
parched 1884 crop.
What is little hard for them
to understand is why over two
millions should be spent for cut
ting down barberry bushes when it
could go to feed ruined farmers.
Reason is that barberry is an
alternate host" In other words,
rust, which is a parasitic plant
growth or fungus, lives on bar
berry during the winter. Then in
the summer it jumps to wheat,
sends its roots into wheat in the
same way plant sends its roots
into the soil.
The Agriculture Department
has to admit, however, that COM
plete eradication of all the bar
berry bushes would not prevent
the rust next year.
This years variety grew from
spores that had never seen the
Northwest before. They came up
on the wind from Mexico-travel-
ing 1000 miles-found stalks of
wheat that were maturing late,
settled upon them, fed Justify.
Ordinarily. the department in
sists, this windblown Spore ar
riyes north too late to harm the
wheat. Greatest danger exists in
the local spore, living on barberry
bushes.
Thus the department explains
its anomalous position. 1t is try
ing to prevent recurrence of black
stem rust by eradicating a bush
which was not the cause Of this
years blight.

eminent for cutting them out of
works-relief gravy.
Works-relief projects are being
handled directly by the govern
ment on the thesis that elimina-
ton of private contractors leaves
a larger proportion of the money
to be spent on wages. AS a re-
suit, contractors who are missing
out on good business have been
working quietly with business
agents" of the unions.
The agents, in turn, found
fertile field in union ranks. Even
though many men had been I'M
employed for months, they OBJ
iected to works-relief pay. The
issue, they argue, is not cash, but
principle.
They make no protest against
the S85 monthly maximum, read
lily admit that an assured income
of this amount for one year is
more than the average annual
earning IN their industry at high
hourly rates.
They are willing to work for
S05 a month, but it must be on
the basis of union wages. In other
words, they demand that they be
paid on an hourly and not a
monthly basis.
THIS latest snarl may wreak
Il havoc with the works-relief
program. Already the s4,0OO,000,-
600 plan is three months behind
schedule. Already there have
been countless delays because of
warning in inner New Deal
circles. A further protracted de-
lay over the prevailing wage issue
is certain to have grave political
consequences.
So far, the Administration has
stood firm in its insistence on the
security wage.
But it has begun to make con-
cessions. Under the prodding Of
Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, New
Yorks pungent works-relief ad-
ministrator, the monthly maxi
mum for building trade workers
was boosted 10 per cent to $3.50
and the work schedule cut from
$50 to 120 hours.

The three expermenters consider this a high
percentage of magnancy in view of the time it took

Particular interest is aroused by these two sub
stances because of their complete lack of resem-

All of the compounds found by Cook and his
sociates built around particular type OF COM

 "On March 16, the Chancellor of the Reich communicated to the Italian Ambassador the text of law made effective that day, whereby the German Government re-established in Germany compul- sorry military service and complet- ed the ranks of the German army to 36 divisions. The week before, German authorities officially an- nounced creation of German mili- tary aviation.

 "The Italian government must point out that the French accord of Rome on Jan. and also the conclusive communique on the Anglo French conversations pub lished on Feb. 3. in essential prin- ciple reaffirmed that the military status established by part five ot the treaty of versailles could not be modified by unilateral action.
