only one kind of rust is found, and
| this is rarely serious.
The cat rusts are very commonly
present and sometimes cause severe
| epidemics in certain oat-growing
states. OF the wheat rusts the most
important one at the present time is
the stem rust, commonly called the
"black rust" which was the cause of
the epidemic of rust in the spring
wheat states this year. The leaf rust
of wheat is almost always present ev-
cry year and is familiar to most farm
ers as ''red rust" and while it I'M
doubtedly does at least a slight dam
age, 1t seldom If ever causes a severe
loss. The yellow, or stripe rust of
wheat has only recently been discov-
cred in this country. 1t also attacks
barley and certain wild grasses and
has been found in the western part of
the United States, but not as yet east
of the Rocky mountains except in east
ern Wyoming. 1t is common rust
In Europe and considered serious
disease. If it continues to spread in
this country, and If it proves as seri-
Gus an enemy to wheat here as it has
in Europe, it is possible that it will
add materially to the rust troubles of
cur cereals.
Grasses as Rust Plants.
The life histories of the rusts are
sometimes complex. This is especial
ly true of the most important of the
wheat rusts; namely, the stem rust. 1t
may pass part of its existence on an
ornamental shrub known as barberry,
Berberis vulgaris. where it produces
rust spores in May or June. These
rust spores may infect wheat or other
| cereals. The stem rust may also in

the rust may hive DYER the winter on

The early SPRING ON the South with

plants, nevertheless. barberry plants
serve as an active means of spreading
the rust in,a vAy vigorous fashion,
