The Bar- | berry has been found to be respons- | ible fopethe wheat smut that has_ ruined thousands of acres of wheat, and Wright L. Hess, Field Assistant, | Bureau of Plant Industry of the Ag- riculture Department, was in Cagper yesterday making a search for thé plant. Mr. Hess found several growths about Casper of the Barberry and will report his findings to the depart-| ment when he completes going over the territory alloted to him. The} whole state of Wyoming is being ex-} amined for this food destroyer. | The Barberry’ was used by the} Tribes of Arabs around the Saspian and Black seas at the time of Christ | for medicinal ard domestic purposes. | It is a small bush with red or purple | berries and thorns on the stems and twigs, the leaves are sdwtoothed.| There is another Barberry called the Japanese which is closely related but | the difference is“easily told by the| smooth edge of the leaf of the Jap-{ ahese Barberry. This latter plant | has been found to be harmless. As the-Arabs gave out their medi- cines to, other races, the Barberry | was taken along with other plants and transported to Europe and later | on its seeds came to America. It} was first suspected of being the har-» binger of wheat smut in 1805 when a terrible epidemic of wheat rust de-| stroyed the crops of grain in the! Netherlands of Europe. Here the | first attempt at_locating the cause | was made and a plant of the Bar- berry was placed in the center of a| field of wheat that was known to be} free from smut. The results showed | learly that the Barberry was the cause of the trouble and its use a8 a hedge plant was ordered discon- Hinued.

The cup of love is placed at Azah’s lips, only to be snatched roughly away, and life seems to play at cross-purposes with this true-hearted little doughter of the Romany race. Idyllic surroundings of gréent | beauty form the background for dy- jnamic events of dramatic power. Re- ward and recompense come to the gypsy girl when she has offered her life to save another, and destiny at last gives her the full measure of happiness, so long withheld.
