Show THE RICH COUNTY REAPER RANDOLPH. UTAH Eradication of Barberry Bush ( Will Have Much to Do With Control of Black Stem Rust of Wheat. Our Pet Peeve States Department (Prepared bv the United WNU Service. , of Agriculture.) Fifteen years of barberry eradication in the wheat belt have accomplished much toward reducing the toll of black stem rust. The United t 1 '3 THE FEATHERHEADS A Slight Interruption States Department of Agriculture estimates that this disease destroyed bushels of wheat annually first five years of this the during period, less than 26,000,000 bushels annually during the second fire years, and only about 11,500,000 bushels annually from 1925 to 1929. Eradication Results. In Farmers Bulletin 1544-The Common Barberry and Black Stem Rust, the Department of Agriculture points ont some striking results of the barberry eradication campaign. Since 1918 the department and states In the northern wheat belt have destroyed more than 18,000,-00- 0 barberry bushes. In the northern states the common barberry 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 Min nesota 61 per cent of the entire crop was destroyed by rust In 1916 and only 12 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 64 per cent, of tn crop was destroyed In 1916 and 7 per cent in 1925. There is every reason to suppose that If so many barberries had not been eradicated 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 ar grown and the hot, dry weather checked the development of the rust. Destroyed Much Wheat. A single barberry bush in Decatur county, Indiana, was credited with destroying at least $50,000 worth of wheat In the vicinity of the town of Alert in 1922. After that bush was destroyed wheat in the vicinity was practically free from rust. Such facts make it evident, says the department, that much ha? been accomplished by destroying 18,000,000 bushes. The authors of Farmers Bulletin 1544-F- , Dr. E. C. Stakman and Donald G. Fletcher, point out that even though millions of bushes have been destroyed already and the great losses of earlier years have been reduced, many bushes continue to escape destruction. The bulletin, which may be obtained free by writing to the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, offers suggestions for locating and destroying this bush. Tune Up Work Team for Heavy Tasks of Spring It Is time to tune up the work team if they are expected to do full duty In the spring rush, said Prof. M. W. Harper of Cornell university over WEAI recently. A horse that is too fat or too thin is In no condition to plunge into heavy work. Light work at this season with an increase in grain helps harden the team and toughens the shoulders. The amount of feed differs with the horse, the kind of work, and the condition of the horse. A good rule is to supply two pounds of feed dally for each hundred pounds of weight for light work, and two and a half pounds for For light work give heavy work. d s grain and hay, and for heavy work the ratio may go d as high as grain and hay. Sound oats are unexcelled as a grain for horses. Salt should be supplied' regularly, but it should not be put in the feed. There is little advantage in grinding" or chopping grain.' As for the order of supplying water, grain and hay; feed or water so fre- quently that the horse gets neither hungry nor thirsty. But feed and water regularly, because horses anticipate the hour of feeding and become nervous if It is long delayed. two-third- one-thir- two-thir- EARNS FOR HER NOW Keeping Stranger What living?
