WHEAT RUST AND
BARBERRY BUSH
Representative of Department of Ag-
riculture Explodes Great Many
Common Beliefs
SAYS WHEAT RUST Is A PLANT
Educational Campaign Among Farm.
ers Now Being Made

Archie NJ. Waldie OF the agricultural
department has the following to say
concerning wheat rust and the bar
berry bush:
There are many mistaken ideas
among the people of this country re-
garding the cause and origin of the
rust on small grains. Some believe
wheat rust comes out of the air; 9TH
ers think it rusts like iron; the great
majority think it is due to weather
conditions alone. It is hard to believe
that what destroys the grain is plant
just as much alive as the wheat it.
self, but much too small to be seen
by the human eye.
Let us go back to the beginning of
this world wide pest. Some three or
four hundred years ago shrub called
the Barberry Bush was brought into
Europe from the Himalaya mountains
of northern India and southern China.
This shrub grew an oblong red berry
that made a kind of medicine and a
root that made good dye. After the
Barberry bushes had entered Europe
the people noticed that the grain in
their vicinity was infected each year
with peculiar disease. It became
Europe's greatest pest and so notice.
able that people began to believe the
disease came from the bush. The
rust which had so badly infected the
grasses of the Himalaya mountains
came into Europe with its mother
plant, the Barberry bush, and found
new Victim in the small grains Of
that country.
It was an easy proposition to spread
Barberry through the United States,
but is a different proposition to get
rid of it now that scientists have
found out exactly how it acts. The
rust plant leaves the grasses and
stubbles in the spring of the year and
blows to the leaves of the Barberry
bush, where it is ready to begin work.
In June you can find little yellow rust
spots on the under side Of the Bar
berry bush leaves. These little spots
throw off tiny rust spores many times
smaller than the finest -four and cap
able of going many miles with the
wind. The yellow rust which infects
the wheat forms the red rust on the
stems and leaves. Under the proper
weather conditions, hot and damp, the
red rust develops into the black and
Injuries or destroys the crops. The
black rust winters once more on the
grasses and stubbles and is ready in
the spring for another round Of de-
struction. Black rust alone lives over
the winter and even it cannot infect
the grain without first going to the
Berbsrry bush.
