Grain Rust.
Many Of the men who attended the
noon meeting also were invited to the
dinner at the Curtis hotel, where Il
pert authorities discussed grain rust.
The chief speakers were President J.
r. Howard of the American Farm Blu
reau Federation, n DR.. e. G. Stalk
man, known as the leading authority
of the world on the subject Of black
stem rust. Dr.. Stakman has recently
returned from a g months tour
of Europe, during which he visited all
of the wheat-growing countries, and
in which he conducted special study
and experiments on the black stem
rust
BarberEy Bush.
Mr.. Lander and Mr.. Carley state
that DR.. Stakman PROVED to the satis-
faction Of all those who heard him
that the common barberry bush IL re-
sponsible for the great spread OF rust.
This bush harbors the germs from
which the black rust disease is spread,
the speaker showed. Several European
countries visited by DR.. Stukman have
eradtcated the rust, he said, but In
others, where no definite "a have
been taken to wipe out the pest, the
rust exists as it does here. The very
important problem of dealing with this
drawback to grain growing is that
must be given the attention of both
business men and growers, the speak
err pointed out. II
Mr.. Howard contributed interesting
material to the program in his address.
accordinglto the local men, and Cover
o r: A. Nestos of North Dakota,
who spoke at both meetings, was CIV
en- a rouslng reception, they state.
John R.. Mitchell of the federal reserve
