The Rorists' Review 



Sbptbhbbb 11. 1919. 



tack of black rust spread by barberry 

 present on their farms. 



Danger Long Known. 



Up to a few years ago experts were 

 inclined to believe the barberry bush, 

 while an agent for the dissemination of 

 black rust in wheat, might not be an 

 important factor. Now they are con- 

 vinced it is not only important, but 

 quite disastrous, and the key to the 

 whole situation. 



In 1660 France enacted a public law 

 forbidding the planting of barberry. A 

 century later, 1760, the Massachusetts 

 colony did practically the same thing. 

 These early laws against the barberry 

 were the result of observation on the 

 part of farmers, who noted a blacking 

 of the straw when grain crops were 

 planted near barberry hedges. In 1860 

 scientists proved ,that the barberry 

 played a definite part in the spread of 

 rust. 



The barberry is the intermediate host 

 plant for the black rust. A nation-wide 

 campaign is now being conducted to in- 

 duce wheat growers to eradicate the 

 barberry bush from their farms and 

 thereby eliminate the black rust, which 

 ahrivois the grain and reduces it to an 

 inferior grade, as well as cutting down 

 the yield. 



It should be noted that the following 

 varieties of barberry may harbor the

Quincy, 111. — Early in August F. W.

 the crop one of the most profitable he 

 ever has grown.
