SE ATRIOS bi é i PAGE FIGHT BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE PUSH BARBERRY WAR, ENEMY OF SPRING WHEAT Two Hundred and Fifty Bushes Found in North Dakota in July EXPERTS MAKE REPORTS Two hundred fifty-two barberry bushes were discovered in ‘North Da- kota in July. George Mayoue, who is in charge of the barberry eradication, reports that one hundred fifty-three of these bushes were in the country and ninety-nine in town. Mr. Mayoue_ is in charge of the barberry eradication work for the government, and has eight field men at work. They found these bushes in Walsh, Pierce, Grand Forks, Trail] and Steele counties, which are the only counties that they have worked in so far this year. It has been a surprise to a great; many people that so many bushes have been found in some counties. People were sure that there was not a barberry bush in the county and well informed people at that. All the bushes found were heavily infested with rust. Which will help account tor the heavy rust infection in the (North Dakota fields. The rust is also very bad in Minnesota and Wis- consin' ‘and in other spring’ wheat states. where they» have found bar- berry bushes. Dr. Stakeman of the University ot Minnesota, who is, perhaps, the best posted’ man on rust in the United the barberriest were not eradicatod in the spring wheat section, whea‘ growing would cease to be profit- able in‘less than twenty years. It is hard to understand how the barberry happened to be planted. As long ago as 100 farmers in France noticed that wheat growing near bar- ‘berries was rusted badly, and in some sections they had laws against growing barberries. In the Scandina- ; vian countries the same observations were made and in Denmark, after they dug out all the barberries they have had no rust. Some of the Ea ern states had laws against the plant- ing of barberries in colonial times. Professor Bolley of the North Da- kota Agricultural college made a con siderable study of rust in Indiana and after coming to North Dakota continued these studies and over 26 years ago gave out warnings against the danger from the barberries, but little interest seemed to be taken in it. When the war came on, Profes- sor Bolley interested the Canadian government as well as the govern- ment at Washington, in the danger ot the barberry bushes in causing rust, so that radication measures were undertaken and they are still being carried’ on in, some states but not on a large enough scale. Mr. ‘Porter of the North Dakota Agricultural college reports that in Minnesota at the experiment sta- jon, where they have been trying out a number of rust-resisting wheats, they have found that some varieties of rust are so virulent this year that they have attacked even the rust-resistant varieties with the exception of one, a wheat from In- dia which is no good for bread-mak- ing purposes. Mr. Statesman of Minnesota has found in his experimental work, that some wheats are resistant to some varieties of rust but that they may not be resistant to other varieties of rust.

If we prefer ‘the barberries, we will have to go without spring wheat which makes the highest quality flour that is produced in the world today. CONSIDERED BY WHEAT GROWERS National Organizations Called to Meet at Columbus, 0., for Action FEAURES OF THE PLAN farmers’ organizations at a confer- ence at Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 1, 2 and 3, ‘will determine whether the wheat growers of the nation will make a “frank and open attempt to foim a prize fixing monopoly.” “There has been injected into the proposed co-operative movement’ to bring the producer and consumer closer together, a question so contro- versial and fraught with so many possibilities that farmers must de- cide at once to face the issue.” This is according to Charles A. Lyman, secretary of the National Board of Farm Organizations. ‘The Coiumbus meeting, according to all indications, will result in a ‘showdown between the radical and conservative farm organizations. The Columbus meeting also likely will de- termine whether the farmers will en- the barberries, they could be taken]ter into a hard and fast agreement out in a comparatively short time.| with the American Federation of La- ‘ , Hl the question that will have to be| bor. resistant variety of wheat, and the! was devoted to the eradication ot} decided is, whether we shall’ hav Essentials of Plan The essential features of the pro- posed price fixing plan include: First—A national marketing com- pany organized on a, nonstock, non- profit fixing basis. so as not to con- flict with the provisions.of the Sher- !man anti-trust law. This will “be formed after the nine principal wheat growing states have h been o1 the growers signed up under a five- - | wheat. i Second—In case of overproduction in any year, it will be necessary to store the surplus and perhaps cut the acreage the following year. Third—The interests of the public are to be protected by including on the board of directors with full vot- ing powers, representatives of the de- partments of agriculture and the fed- eral trade commission. Lyman says that. sentiment. ex- pressed at @ recent farmers’ meeting indicates that the farmers themselves want “monopolistic control.” Builds No Air Castles Secretary Lyman in writing of the Columbus meeting builds no air cas- tles for the farmers. He warns of probable dangers ahead when he writes: i © “Assuming that it is right for the farmers to form themselves into large monopolistic price fixing com- binations, and assuming that the wheat growers will be willing to form their five-year pooling arrange- ments, that the business cart be prop- erly financed, etc., let us determine the probable attitude that the con- sumers of the country will take. Can we make them believe that a price- fixing monopoly of wheat by farmers is desirable? That is the fly in the ointment.” TROUBLES WITH BINDER AND CAR CAUSE SUICIDE Grafton, IN.-D., Aug. 11.—Lewis Wiik, a prosperous farmer six. miles west of this city, ended his life by swallowing poison while; driving home from Park River, where he had gone to buy repairs for his binder which had been giving him consider- able trouble, t Early, in the forenoon Mr. Wiik’s { binder broke down after causing an- *noyance all during the morning. The grain was ripe and the man was in a hurry. Putting in his horses he attempted to start his car in order to go to town for repairs. The car -refused to run and the farmer work- ed himself into a passion in attempt- ing to start it. Drove to Town . It is then said that he hitched up a horse to a buggy and drove ten miles to Park River for the neces- sary repairs. He purchased his re- pairs, and secured a quantity of poi- son at a drug store, It is evident that someone rode part of the way ‘home with Wiiks, getting about a mile from the Wiik home. In all probability the man sWallowed the poison as goon as left alone. Rey. Jorgenson of Grand Forks happened to be passing afong the road and found ‘the farmer dying. He was taken to his home but never re- gained consciousness. a "TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY | o—_—__—__——__"_—-© FOR’ SALE—Furniture, one spring bed, one baby bed, baby carriage. good as new dining room table, dishes. ‘Will sell at bargain.
