Stewart has announced. Attending the federal-provin- cial agriculture conference, Mr. Stewart said Federal Agri- I cultural Minister Harry Hays has agreed to recommend that the federal government pay 50 per cent of the cost of eradica- ting Common Barberry, which spreads rust diseasetooats and other cereal crops. Ontario's $80.000,000 a year oat crop, the largest cereal grain crop grown in the pro- vince, is a vital source of live- stock feed and valuable for commercial use. Mr. Stewart said the cost- sharing agreement, covering three years, has been approved by the Ontario government and awaits approval by the federal cabinet. Mr. Stewart said it is under- stood that the Quebec govern- ment will also sign the agree- ment so that both provinces can co-operate in the drive against Barberry. Mr. Stewart said it is ex- pected that the federal govern- ment will put up $500,000 over the next three years to match Ontario's cost, which will be $100,000 in the first year. The money will be used to equip special spraying units which will begin a systematic sweep of the Barberry-infested regions of Ontario next spring. "The spreading stem rust disease threatens annual losses in oats of more than $6,000,000 and unless it is stopped, oat production in Ontario could vir- tually disappear," Mr. Stewart said. Barberry, which grows wild mostly in the southern counties of Ontario, is the host shrub for stem rust, and if the shrub is eradicated the life-cycle of the rust parasite would be des- troyed. Mr. Stewart said action to stop the disease is considered an emergency because no fur- ther varieties of oats have been developed to resist stem rust, and no varieties are in prospect with resistance to present viru- lent rust races.

From The Staff of Tractor Sales At least four special units will begin operation early next spring. Each unit will consist of a truck-mounted sprayer with a capacity of 200 gallons and two lines of hose. A driver-mechanic will oper- ate the vehicle and two men will man the hoses. Two other men with knapsack sprayers will operate from the vehicle in sur- rounding fields. A commercial mixture of 2, 4,-D and 2,4,5,-T, called brushkillers, will be used in a fuel oil spray. Treatment is effective at any time of the year so long as snow cover does not prevent the spray from con- tacting stumps. Mr. Stewart said the spray which will be used is harmless to animals and livestock, as well as human beings. The operation will be directed from weed control headquarters in Guelph, Brighton and Toron- to. Barberry grows wild over many Southern Ontario coun- ties. It is readily identified, growing mostly in the open along fence rows, roadsides, hedges, and in orchards, unimproved pastures, woodlots, wasteland, and on banks of streams and lakes. It is also common in gardens and shrubbery plantings. The offending Barberry is known as Common Barberry, and not to be confused with the ornamental and harmless Ja- panese Barberry. The new drive on Barberry will not affect present efforts of Ontario to rid itself of both Barberry and European Buck- thorn under the Weed Control Act. Grants have been made under this act to county councils by the Ontario Department of Ag- riculture, and m any county- wide control programs have . ARCHIE SCOTT • EARL GACKSTETTER . GERALD MASON . TED SNIDER EXETER FROZEN FOODS Larry Snider Motors end of the line, as far as new varieties of oats are concern- ed," Mr. Stewart said. Mr. Stewart explained that stem rust parasite spores de- velop new races while cross- breeding on the leaves of Bar- berry shurbs, and no oat varie- ties are in prospect as yet to resist these new races. Stem rust spores cluster on the leaves of Barberry after wintering on the ground, stubble or grass, and then are blown by the wind to grain crops during May and June. The spores attack the stems of the crop plants and destroy their food cell processes. The spores multiply rapidly in the crops and can infect a wide area. Every spore on the Barberry leaf is capable of reproducing itself 64,000,000 times. Evi- dence indicates that the spores have been carried in upper air currents from Eastern Canada as far south as the Mississippi and back into the C anadi an prairies. Although Barberry has been under attack for some years under the Ontario Weed Control Act, this will be the first at- tempt to completely eradicate the species. "This can only be clone by provincial action in co-opera- tion with Quebec where Bar- berry is also prevalent in neigh- boring districts," Mr. Stewart said. The location of Barberry will be plotted on maps with the assistance of special technical survey help, and Junior Farm- ers and 4-H Club members will be asked to help in spotting the shrubs, Mr. Stewart said. County councils and other farm and community organiza- tions will also be asked to co- operate with County represen- tatives, C. MORLEY HALL Where Your Patronage Is Appreciated c.16 CV4.014 CcfAtr.
