Safety Commissions Order.

Inc PUBIC SaIety cOmmISSlOnS Or
der for the eradication of the bar
berry was issued in order to bring
the state into close cooperation with
the federal government in a cam
paign against the black stem rust,
under the general direction of E. G..
Stakman Of the Minnesota experiment
station in the central west, and un-
der the special direction of e. M.
Freeman, dean of the Minnesota col
lege of agriculture, in Minnesota.
The order in part reads:
Cali barberry bushes except the
species and variety known as JAP
anese barberry (Berberris thunbergii)
are hereby declared to be, and the
same are, public nuisance and a
menace to the public welfare, and
their maintenance, propagation, sale,
or Introduction in the state is forbid
den. 1t shall be the duty of every
person owning or having charge Of
any premises on which barberry
bushes of the rust-producing varieties
are grown, or at any time found grow
ing, to forthwith destroy such bushes.
"The state entomologist is author
lied. q to cause all rust-produc-
ing barberry bushes within the state
Of Minnesota to be eradicated. ;. /.
It shall be the duty Of the county board
Of every county in this state to order
and cause the eradication of all such
rust-producing barberry bushes within
their respective counties under the
instructions and according to the di-
rections of the state entomologist."
Eradication on Arbor Day.
In compliance with this positive or
der, arrangements have been made
to interest the schools and commune
ties of the state in the large eradica-
ton of barberry plants on Arbor day,
April 49,
The spring is chosen as the time
for the eradication campaign, because
1t is then that the spores of the rust
pass from the old straw to the bar
berry to gain a fresh lease of life be-
fore passing on to the new crop of
grains and grasses. If the barberry
bushes are destroyed at this time,
therefore, there will be no new lease
of life for the winter spores developed
late last summer.
Japanese VS.. Common Burberry.
The Japanese ban berry is usually
from to 4 feet in height and has
somewhat spreading, reddish brown
stems, while the common barberry
grows to height of from 4 to s
feet, with its stems mostly upright
and of gray or grayish green color.
The spines of the Japanese barberry
are mostly single, while on the COM
mon barberry they are usually in
groups of three. The spines on the
former are geneally smaller than on
the latter, also. The buds and leaf
clusters on the Japanese variety are
about one-half inch or less apart:
on the common variety they are about
an inch apart. The leaves of the Jap
anese plants are spoon-shaped. smooth
around the edges, and green, whereas
those of the other kind are large and
broad, have spiny teeth along the
edges, and are either green or purple.
The Japanese flowers and fruit grow
singly or in small clusters, while those
on the other grow in long clusters.
