FIGHT THE BARBERRY BUSH
URGES MARK A. MCCARTHY

Mark A. McCarty, field assistant to
the United States department of
agriculture, is spending a couple of
days in Mankato, taking an active
part in the campaign against the
common barberry bush, which
spreads rust to the wheat. In an in
, terview with a Free Press reporter
today Mr.. McCarty said:
: "The common barberry is doomed.
This spreader of wheat rust is a ter
rible scourge and causes great loss.
In 1916 it cost the farmers of Min
nesota, North and South Dakota and
Montana nearly 200,C00,000 bushels OF
wheat The government has now de-
cided that the barberry is to be
completely destroyed. Thirteen wheat
states, from Montana to New York
and from the Canadian line TO the
Kansas and Oklahoma border are
united in a determined barberry
eradication campaign. In number
of states. including Minnesota and
the Dakotas the laws require the de-
struction of the common barberry.
The law went into effect in Minnesota
on March 81, and is the result of the
vigorous campaign conducted last
year. Power has been given to the
state entomologist to cause the de-
struction of all common barberry
Wet weather does not cause rust as
many people suppose. Wheat rust is
a fungus disease, and damp weather
favorS its growth. 1t alternates from
the wheat to the barberry, and back
to the wheat. Rust develops on the
barberry in the spring. BY destroy
ing the barberry the rust is stopped
After the rust develops on the bar
berry in the spring if it is not stop
ped it spreads TO the grains and
grasses. In the autumn the black
stage follows the red stage, and in
the winter it stays on the stubble and
grass and goes back to the barberry
in the spring and so on around the
cycle again. The common barberry
carries and spreads the black stem
rust of wheat, oats, barley and rye
The japanese barberry is harmless
The common barberry is easily dis
tinguished because the leaves are
larger and the bush is covered with
clusters of thorns, while the japanese
variety has but one thorn in a place
on the stem and the leaves are small
and smooth"
Mr.. McCarty had a number o.
samples of barberry which he exhib
tied. He remarked that farmers who
belong TO the Blue Earth county agri,
cultural bureau generally know the
common variety of barberry, and are
making Ill efforts 10 eradicate it, Far
mers who do not belong to the bureau
should inform themselves on the sue
,iect of barberry, and remove it from
cheir Arms.
