IC Stakman of the division of plant
diseases at University Farm, to the
summer brought conclusive proof that
the barberry bush was the spreader of
stem rust. Wherever in Europe he
found the rust he could trace it to
the barberry bush and where there was
no rust there were nc barbery bushes
Europe has been graduating the bar
berry as an enemy of grains for more
| than century, and rust has long ceased
to be thing of terror to Europe's
grain-growers.
