Combined Effort Is Needed
to Destroy Burberry Bush

AS commissioner of agriculture and
labor, it is my duty and desire to call
the attention of all citizens Of the
state. and particularly those in con
troll of civic affairs in the cities, towns
and villages, to the law which was en-
acted by the last legislative assembl!,
for the eradication of the shrub known
as the barberry bush.
1t has been prov I'll by the eradica
ton work done by the government OF
Denmark that the barberry is essen
tial to the existence of the black stem
rust of wheat in that country. 1t has
also been proven by the ablest plant
pathological of the United States and
particularly Of the spring wheat states
that these bushes do harbor this de-
structive disease and that each bush
can be shown to be a great public
nuisance.
I am, therefore, writing this to So
licit prompt compliance with the law
enacted, which orders that all such
bushes be eradicated at once. The
time is short when these shrubs under
favorable weather conditions will be
scattering the rust disease by the
winds, beginning the early part OF
June, so the bushes should be destroy.
ed before that time. May l not hope
that each owner will at once, without
waiting for an order from the county
commissioners, or from me, dig up the
bushes on his premises or on any
lands controlled by him? The shrub
in most cases is not Of old growth and
is in no case difficult to eradicate It
will die at once if one simply breaks
the main crown; good hoe or sharp
spade does the work at a few strokes.
There are many beautiful and hardy
shrubs which may we'll fill its place
in our lawns and parks.
This year, when it is all important
to do our utmost for the wheat crop,
let us destroy it in this state (once for
ally this known enemy of the wheat
plant. j. N. Hagan.
