BARBERRY BUSH GONE; RUST NOW LOSING TERRORS State Commissioner of Agricul- ture and Labor Predicts Little Danger of Scourge That the barberry hedge, which is charged with causing a decrease of 111,000,000 bushels in North Dakota’s wheat crop last fall, soon will be en- tirely extinct in North Dakota is the opinion of Commissioner of Agricul- ture and Labor Hagan, who is receiv- ing satisfactory reports froii his three special agents, who are devoting all of their attention to the eradication of this deadly shrub. “The agents report excellent co-op- eration everywhere. The only differ- ences which have arisen to date are two, in Fargo, where there was some difficulty in convincing the owners that their hedges were barberry. The women’s clubs have been of great assistance in educating the people of their communities to the importance of exterminating this dangerous bush, and in most cases our agents found on arriving in the cities that the bar- berry already had been destroyed.” The last legislature appropriated $5,000 for a two years’ campaign against the barberry bush, held re- sponsible by Prof. Bolley of the Ag- ricultural college and other authori- ties for the rust, which in 1916 cut down to 40,000,000 bushels a wheat crop which ran over 150,000,000 in 1915. “There is no question in my mind,” said Mr. Hagan today, “that rust is primarily due to the barberry bush. 1 believe that it will disappear with the going of the barberry bush: It is possible that some bushes ‘may be overlooked this year:and that we may still have some rust,)due to the’ presence of stray bushes somewhere in the neighborhood. I do not think, however, that this rust inoculates the soil or the seed. It is not a disease, but a fungi resulting from accumu- lations of barberry bush pollen, and 1 am confident wo have it on the run.” Knox Army Hats. Bergeson's. 3 Brothers ‘\.

Late HALL ASKS FOR OPINION; NOW UP TO REPUBLICANS H. 'H. Aaker, proprietor of busti- ness colleges in Fargo and Grand Forks, and “nonpartisan-progressive- republican,” candidate for congress in the First district, may not succeed in getting his name on the official bal- lot. As related yesterday, although Mr. Aaker advised Secretary of State Hall that he was mailing more than the requisite number of signatures, petitions received in the office of the secretary of state yesterday contained but. 150 names. This morning Mr. Hall received a bulky envelope from Mr. Aaker, evidently containing peti- tions, posted by registered mail in Fargo yesterday morning. The en- velope has not been opened pending an opinion from the attorney gener- al’s office as to the right of the sec- retary of state to accept petitions filed’‘after thetenth!@wy of June, es- tablished by Governor '‘¥razier's “proc- lamation as the last date for filing. Mr. Hall yesterday made a rule that all petitions mailed on the tenth be considered filed on that date, and he accepted petitions from Olger B. Burt- ness of Grand Forks and Aaker under this ‘rpling. The Burtness petitions contained considerably more than 300 hames,‘and'no aiestfon ‘is: raised: as to hig right to get on the ballot. The ‘Aaker petitions, ‘Héwever} were ‘insuf- ficient; dnd tiponthe'Fight of the sec- retary of state to accept petitions filed a day late will depend the chances of the “nonpartisan-progressive-republi- can” candidate's getting his name on the ballot. Jf it is held that in this instance, where the tenth of the month fell on a Sunday, grace extend over the following day, as would be the case in payment of a promissory note or other financial obligation, then Mr. Aaker will -be all right. Can't Withdraw. “I have noticed a statement in a Fargo paper: to the effect that some candidates who already have filed pe- tition’ may withdraw,” said Mr. Hall this morning. “The: period in which withdrawal could have ‘been made ex- pired Sunday, 30 days prior to’ the} special election, July 10. No candi- date can, now formally withdraw ‘from the ballot. He has the privilege: of notifying his friends through -the press or by any other means he may favor that he will decline to make the race, but his name must stay on the ballot. / “I have nothing to do with any pos- sible convention. If the republicans hold their. convention June 20 and desire to place a man on the ticket, I presume they will bring me into court in an effort to prove their right to nominate a candidate. Until the court holds otherwise, however,''1 must consider nominations closed, and as soon as I learn just what 'to do in case of Mr. Aaker, I will cer- tify the nominations to the various county auditors.” Plain Has Filed. In some manner the fact that Charles W. Plain of Milton, republi- can, former member of both houses of the legislature, filed his petitions, with more than enough signatures to procure his nomination, was overlook- ed last week. When Mr. Plain did not find his name published with the list of candidates yesterday, he called the attention of the press to the over- sight, and the secretary of state con- firmed Mr. Plain’s belief that his name should be listed among those present, ‘ bare The list now'stindd:'! oO. ip+ | © Gharles!
