BATTLE AGAINST
BARBERRY PLANT
Digging Must Be Complete and
Thorough in Order Not to
Leave Pieces of Roots.
BUSHES DIFFICULT TO KILL
Large Number of Seedlings Some
times Are Found Growing Under
Dead Plants That Were Dug
When in Fruitage Stage.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
In carrying on the fight against the
•ommon barberry, the plant that har
bors stem rust of wheat, the United
States Department of Agriculture has
’ound that it is vdty important to do
he job of digging thoroughly and to
destroy plants having berries, even
though they are only partly matured.
The bushes are hard to kill, and seeds
Ito

Bushes Is to Dig Deep Enough to
Remove All the Roots.
from plants that were dug August 1
produced a high percentage of seed
lings.
After the bushes are taken out the
tops should be separated from the
crown and balls of earth shaken from
the roots. Grubbed bushes, lying on
the ground, have been found produc
ing green leaves. In such cases one
or more roots were in contact with the
soil. Some of the grubbed bushes
were completely severed from the soil,
but there was enough earth left on the
roots to hold moisture until secondary
roots were formed. This condition
hap]>ens most frequently In wet
weather or in moist woodlands.
Seedlings Under Dead Bushes.
Great numbers of seedlings some
times are found growing under dead
bushes that were dug when in fruit.
The last of September berries were
collected from bushes dug August 1,
and 1,000 of them (about 2,000 seeds)
were scattered on loose earth and
lightly covered with dirt and leaves.
The following June there were 282
seedlings on this area. The same num
ber of berries were collected from
standing bushes at the same time and
sown under similar conditions. The
following June there were 307 seed
lings on the area, showing that the
immature seeds were almost ns viable
as the matured ones. It is probable
that seeds from bushes grubbed out
even before August will grow’, and for
this reason It is important, says the
department, to destroy them.
Advisable to Watch Sprouts.
It also is advisable to watch the
sprouts that may come up where old
barberry plants have been taken out.
These sprouts produce seed much
earlier than bushes that grow direct
ly from seeds. Bushes were dug In
the fall of 1920. That same fall
sprouts w’ere produced, and during the
following year they grew vigorously.
By 1922 these plants were bearing
flowers In abundance. This summer,
therefore, special attention must be
given to places where bushes were
dug lu 1920 or earlier, says the de
partment.
KEEN INTEREST IN POULTRY
Between 5& and 75 Letter. Seeking
Information Received by Animal
Induatry Bureau.
Mnny requests for information on
poultry raising—averaging between 50
and 75 letters a day since early In
the year—are reported by the bureau
of animal Industry, United States De
partment of Agriculture. In addition
the supply of poultry literature dis
tributed by the division of publica
tions has surpassed the records of all
previous years.
The department's literature on poul
try raising Is unusually completp,
ranging from discussions of the prin
cipal breeds of poultry to manage
ment, housing. Incubation, brooding
and culling. The department's poul
ry publications Include mere than
Idrty bulletins for general distribu
te) and many others of technical
'■nrncter on apeclal phases of poul
r wort.
WALNUT AND HICKORY
TREES HURT BY PEST
Species of Snout-Beetles Attack
Immature Fruits.
Methods of Controlling Nut-Infesting
Curculics Include Burning Fallen
Nuts and Spraying With
Arsenate of Lead.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Several species of snout-beetles
nearly related to the common plum
curculio attack the Immature fruits,
tender shoots and leaf petiples of
walnut and hickory trees. A discus
sion of four such species, all belong
ing to the genus Conotrachelus, which
closely resemble one another In ap
pearance, habits and seasonal activ
ities, is given in United States De
partment of Agriculture Bulletin 1006,
Curculios That Attack the Young
Fruits and Shoots of Walnut and
Hickory, by Fred E. Brooks, entomol
ogist.
Special characteristics of the but
ternut curculio, the black-walnut cur
culio, the hickory nui, the hickory
shoot curculios are separately de
scribed. Methods of controlling nut
infesting curculios include burning the
fallen ntits, spraying the leaves which
they eat with arsenical poisons, and
spraying the nut trees with lead ar
senate. While the dropping of cur
culio-lnfested walnuts and hickory
nuts before the larvae in them mature
affords an opportunity for destroying
the young Insects by collecting and
burning or otherwise disposing of the
fallen nuts, this method Is successful
only In cases of Isolated trees or
plantations. Lead arsenate applica
tions on the stems, leaves and fruit,
soon after growth starts in the spring,
can be counted on to give godd re
sults in reducing injury from butter
nut and black-walnut curculios. Spray
ing walnut trees with lead arsenate
at a strength of six pounds to fifty
gallons of water is an effective method
of controlling the butternut curculio.
HENS HAMPER GRASSHOPPERS
Make * Better Showing on Infested
Nebraska Farm Than Poison—
Fowls Bring Profit.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
On the Scottsbluff reclamation proj
ect, Mitchell, Nebraska, where the
grasshopper pest has been particular
ly bad this year, various methods of
control have been tried out. One of
the most successful methods observed
so far was used by a farmer who has
a quarter-section of land.
Five hundred chickens divided into
lots of 100 were kept in colony houses
on 80 acres of the farm and moved
about as occasion required. As a re
sult. on the half of the farm where
Chickens on Free Range Devour Many
Harmful Insects.
the chickens were pastured there were
only about 20 per cent as many hop
pers as on the other 80 acres. This
is a better showing than has been
made on most of the fields where
poison was distributed.
The owner and the renter found the
method profitable. After they had used
what they needed of the poultry for
domestic purposes, and after the
weasels and coyotes had taken their
toll, the rest were marketed and
brought In about 75 per cent of the
orlg'jial investment. Tills year the
owner Is stocking the farm with 1,000
chickens as insurance against the
grasshopper pest.
PRODUCTION OF YOUNG TREES
Unless Allowed to Overload, They Will
Not Be Injured by Rather
Early Bearing.
Growers of fruits sometimes are
alarmed because very young trees may
set rather heavy crops of fruit. Since
it is perfectly natural for fruit trees
to bear, they will not be injured by
early production unless allowed to
overload.
As long as a tree makes a normal
growth, fruit production will not hurt
it. Peach and plum trees may pro
duce considerable fruit at two or three
years of age; even when only one year
old they sometimes begin bearing.
Under the long system of pruning,
which is now being so generally prao
tlced, there Is a tendency for trees to
bear more heavily and earlier than
under the old system of heavy cutting
back. It has been noticed that despite
rather heavy fruit production at an
early age, such trees will make a fine
growth and apparently there Is no In
terference with their general condi
tion.
While heavy thinning may be desir
able in the case of young fruit trees,
they may be allowed to bear some
fruit, and the practice of those who.
pull It off seems to be unwarranted In
the face of extended observation*.

The highest honor Nebraska could
give one of its World war. heroes went
to Lange also. He was chosen by the
state commander of the American Le

Lange of his war service. Hay was
the first lowa boy killed in the war
and one of the first three American
boys to die in action.

The Private’s Dilemma.
I'd like to be a corpril and with the cor
prlls stand,
A chevron on my coat sleeve arid a war
rant in my hand,
But when I think it over all my hope to
gloom descends.
I'd like to be a corpril—but I’d rather
have my friends.
The private marches dumbly—this way,
that way. what’s the odds?
While the corpril joins the shouting when
the order's "Right by squads!”
But when the drill is over then the cor
prll’s glory ends,
Oh, I’d like to be a corpril—but I’d rather
have my friends.
The extra pay comes handy and the chev
ron makes one proud.
But it’s tough to be a noncom when your
h*»art is with the crowd.
To persecute your buddies with commands
the captain sends.
Yes, I’d like to be a corpril—4>ut I’d rather
have my friends!
—Gleason Pease, In American Legion
Weekly.
Whaddya Mean, Hard Luck?
The colonel had heard of two recent
disasters In the family of his colored
orderly and was surprised to find him
apparently as cheerful as ever when
he returned to duty after a brief fur
lough home.
“Well, Sam," said the colonel sym
pathetically, “I hear you have had
Borne bard luck.”
"What, me, suh? Nossuh, Ah aln’
’hud no hahd luck.”
“Why, wasn't that your brother who
was killed In a railroad wreck recent
ly and wasn’t that your wife that was
hurt in an automobile accident?”
“Ob, yassub, yassuh—but dot’s delr
hahd luck —not mine.”—American Le
