SALT WILL KILL
BARBERRY BUSHES
Second Stem Rust Conference Reveals
Progress Made in Graduating

BY Farm Bureau News Service
Salt has been proved an effective
agent for killing the common bar
berry bush, necessary to complete the.
life cycle for seeds that cause black
stem rust. This fact, established by
government scientists. was revealed to
delegates attending the second conven-
ton of the Conference for the Pre-.
vention of Grain Rust at University
Farm, st. Pau last week by DR.. Noel
f. Thompson, pathologist with the u.
s. Department Of Agriculture
DR., Thompson said that common
salt, in the form used in the manu-
facture Of ice cream, when placed.
about the base of barberry bush,
had been found to kill even the small
roots in a short period and that the
the grabbing method Of eradication,
was eliminated. He also said that
sodium arsenite had proved effective,
but recommended the use Of salt be-.
cause it was easier and more cheap
~ obtained About five pounds are
required for an average bush. Salt
should not be applied to lawns, etc.
as there is danger of soil sterilization
for time.
The conference was attended by $50
notable leaders in the agricultural
field from thirteen states In which
grain is grown. Resolutions unani-
mously adopted urged continuation Of
the campaign and asked congress and
state legislatures to aid the movement
with appropriations. 55s
A first showing Of new motion

gave reproduct ions Of actual micros-
copic views proving nclusively that

rewarded by an era Of higher prices.
Mr.. Howard told Of q former sena-
tor now practicing law in Chicago,

ployed several plasterers. These work
men were being paid SIG a day, extra

believe, he said in telling Of the
circumstance, that these laborers
have right to a fair wage, but such
obvious profiteering is intolerable.
These high wages, in the last anal isis,
fall on the farmer, who can not pass
them to others. .s5s ..s-.
IS Mr.. Howard said he was looking
forward to shortage Of farm labor
with correspo bonding decreased produc-
ton: This step in the cycle will be
followed by higher prices for those
who stick to the farm. .555

delegates that grain rust is a serious
menace in the wheat growing sections,
just as is the cotton boil weevil in
