Paving Under
Way at LaPIatte
j Next Few Days will See Completion
of Work Rapid-Dry Cement
Used Road Open Soon
From Mondav's rariy
Tim present detour at LaPIatte will
soon be a thing of the past. Saturday
the paving force ofF. L. Busche got
started pouring the concrete ribbon
that is to extend north from the end
of the Platte river bridge to connect
with the old paving a mile further
north. The DavinK operations were
started a few hundred feet north of
the detour "turn-out" and Saturday
nighl the mixer was almost up to the
new viaduct. Today's run will put
them well on their way to close up
that gap. after which they will pour
thi stretch south to the Platfe river
bridge, and in any even! will prob
ably be done by the latter part of
this week.
Tlif use of Rapid-Dry cement will
hasten the curing process that in the
earlier days of paving operations re
quired twenty-one days before traffic
v permitted to venture thereon.
Now, it is expected traffic will be
permitted to travel over this newly
conrph ted stretch within seven or
eisrht days after the last of it has been
poured, thus eliminating one of the
detours between Plattsmouth and
Omaha on U. s. 75.
A turn-out at the north end of the
Platt river bridge is being: provided
and the last remaining fifty feet of the
paving there will be bridged over to
permit traffic to continue over this
short one-way road, practically with
out interruption, during the few days
required for the concrete to cure.
On completion of the work there,
the machinery will be taken to the
south end of the old paving at Fort
Crook and begin working south from
'. : . .- is v. ili be but a comparative
ly short time until the road be opened
: from Walnut Grove corner straight
through to Omaha, thus cutting out
nother detour.
After that, the only detour left will
V the one around the Pappio viaduct,
and this will doubtless be continued
for several months before the new
viaduct is ready to travel over.

Some ninety of the memhers of
the Frans family gathered Sunday
at the heautiful memorial park at
Auburn. Joining in the observance of
the day of pleasant association and
in fretting better acquainted, the
members of the party representing
branches of the family in Missouri.
Nebraska and Kansas.
The family have had a number of
the reunions in the past, but last
year the gathering was omitted, but
this year the members of the fam
ily circle decided that once more the
ties of blood should be observed in
the reunion.
This family are descendants ot,
William and Rebecca Frans. who
were among the earliest settlers in
the great west. The head of the fam
ily. William Frans. was born March
1. 1831, and the reunion this year
marked the 100th anniversary of the
grand old pioneer, and founder of
one of the leading families of the
eastern part of Nebraska. Mr. Frans
was born in Missouri, coming west
in the last years of the 40's to Fort
Kearny, Nebraska, the fort being
situated where Nebraska City now
stands, he served as a teamster at the
fort and when it was dismantled
helped to convey the supplies to the
new Fort Kearney along the west
Platte river. Mr. Frans returned to
his boyhood home near St. Joseph .
Missouri, remaining there until 1851
when he located in Fremont county,
Iowa, and there engaged in looking
after a homestead of eighty acres
until in 1854 when he again return
ed to Nebraska and homesteaded
near Rock Bluffs, in Cass county, un
til 1S62. when he and his kinsmen
returned to Missouri. Mr. and Mrs.
Frans were married in Buchanan
county. Missouri, and the wife ac
companied the husband on his trips
to the new state of Nebraska in the
early territorial days. In 1884 Mr.
Frans moved to Cass county and lo
cated at Factoryville where his son,
R. H. Frans had embarked in the
mercantile business and later the
business was moved to Union and
where members of the family are
still occupying a large place in the
community life, I). Ray Frans. a
grandson of the pioneer founder ol
the family being engaged in the
banking business. Mr. William Frans
was called to the last reward many
years ago.

union were as follows:

Common Barberry
Eradication Work
in Cass County
Squad of Four Young Men From
University Now Working in
Elmwood Precinct
When we r.re told that the ap
parently harmless looking shrub,
which was first introduced into Ne
braska in the early seventies largely
for ornamental and culinary pur
poses, and now known as common
or rust-spreading barberry, plays a
major role in development of local
epidemics of black stem rust in
wheat, oats, barley and rye, we won
der in regards to the "why." And
yet, when we pause to think of it.
there are numerous human and an
imal diseases which have complicated
life development, and which require
more than one host in which to com
plete their life cycle. Is in any mor
curious to learn that certain plants
have similarly complicated life
cycles and that black stem rust is
one?
When an epidemic of malaria fever
breaks out down South, sanitation
agents go out and drain or kerosene
the swamps in an attempt to get rid
of mosquitoes because it is realized
that the germ or organism causing
materia fever in man spends part of
its life growth or development in
the human being and part in a cer
certain kind of mosquitoes. By
draining or kerosening the swamps
and killing off the mosquitoes, mal
aria fever may be very largely con
trolled. Facts about the harmful barberry
and its relationship to black stem
rust on small grains are just as clear
cut as those about the mosquito and
malaria fever in man spends pari of
farm practices, in line with lowering
grain production costs, demand tin
destruction of all stem rust-spreading
barberries, (the shrub popular
ly called common or European bar
berry I .
If barberry causes rust, why de
we not have rust every year? As a
matter of fact, the amount of dam
age caused by stem rust in any one
year depends very largely on weather
conditions. However, rust would
never develop if there were no rust
spores in the region. Rust, being a
tiny plant growth on t!t srain stem,
is favored by certain kinds of wea
ther, and its development hindered
by other kinds, much the same as
corn or any other crop is influenced
by temperature, moisture, soil con
ditions, etc. m general, the stem rust
parasite develops best in moist warm
weather.
When weather and soil conditions
are favorable a good crop of corn
is likely to be the result. However,
there would never be any corn if
the seeds were not previously plant
ed. In the same way. altho stem rust
develops best in warm moist wea
ther, there would never be any rust
if the rust snores were not previous
ly carried into the grain field with
the wind. It is possible tot a single
common barberry bush to cast off
millions of these rust spores to the
winds within a comparatively short
period during the spring. As the
wind carries these spores into green
developing grain fields accompanied
by favorable weather conditions, the
stage is set for development of stem
rust epidemics. As a result every
common barberry bush Is a poten
tial spreader of black stem rust, and
is not conducive to either improved
quality of grain or lower production
cost.
The movement for the eradication
of this shrub in Cass county is be
ing looked after by a squad from the
state agricultural department com
prising Greth Dunn, Harlan Bell
man. Jesse Livingston and Ralph
Bush, who are now working in Elm
wood precinct in the vicinity of Elm-wood.
