Discusses
Grain Rust
(By LeRoy G. Brown, Clinton,
agricultural . representative for
Huron County.)
Last fall' the Huron Crop Int
provement Association brought
into Huron County some 600 bus
hers of Cornell 595 winter wheat
seed. This was distributed at Clin
ton to many farmers in the Count
and judging by its present app-
earance, it will be in great de-
mend this fall, As T mentioned a,
few minutes ago, most of the
fields' of. Dawson's Golden Chaff
are severely infested with loose-
smut, but the fields of - Cornell.
595 have only a very few heads
of loose smut: Cornell 595 is con-
sidered to be resistant to loose
smut,: and I was unable to find a
single head of loose smut in' sev-
eral of the fields which I 'inspect-
ed.
weather and wind factors.
Treating Barberry
Buckthorn can be eradicated
by cutting or pulling out by the
roots, or by spraying with sodium
base chemicals. Barberry can be
cut or sprayed, but if pulled out,
regrowth is sure to appear at a
later date. By cutting bushes of
barberry or buckthorn now, some
measure of protection could be
given to cereal crops.
William Dougall, Hensall, our
County Weed Inspector, has been
waging war on these . bushes
• throughout the County, since ear-
ly lash fall. He has found that
one of the most convenient ways
Y to kill ,these bushes is to sprinkle
a quantity of a chlorated based
dust around the base of each bush
and this soaks into the ground
and kills' the roots easily and
effectively. Mr. Dougall treated
a number of Barberry bushes in
this manner late last fall and got
good results. During the last
month, Mr. Dougall has given a
similar treatment to hushes in
many parts of the Cotinty, in 'I
campaign to 'eradicate these two
host plants of cereal ousts, , In
cases where the buckthorn
In conversation 'with Professoi
Waddell, of the Field Husbandry
Department, he informedme that
Cornell 595 outyields Dawson's
Golden Chaff, it is almost' equal in
straw strength, and Cornell wheat
is more resistant to leaf rust than
Dawson's. As a result of many
tests made with. several of . our
leading varieties of winter wheat,
Cornell 595 was judged as the
best quality wheat for pastry pur-
poses. Cornell has never been
grown in. Huron County until last
fall, and it would not be possible
to asses it for winter hardiness,
but all the fields I have seen•ap-
pear to have wintered equally as
well as the Dawson's, According
to Professor Waddell, Cornell 595
has three crosses of Dawson's
Golden Chaff in its make up, and
should. therefore be equally as
winter hardy in this area.
To those who plan to sow Daw-
son's Golden Chaff this fall again
I would suggest that you purch-
ase seed from fields grown from
hot water treated seed, or snake
plans to give their seed the hot
water treatment. This is a bit slow
and tedious, but if it is the wish
of a group of farmers, I will ar•-
mange equipment for hot water
treating seed at some convenient
point in the County. No doubt,
many of you will want to try
some of the Cornell 595, and I
would strongly advise you to do
so. If you would care to phone
me or send a letter to my office, I
will be pleased to give you a list
of men who are growing Cornell
this year, so that you can get in
touch with them and make arr-
angements for purchasing your
seed for this fall.

Leaf and Stem Rust
Another common disease that
causes heavy losses annually is
the leaf and stem rust.
One of the chief reasons why
stem rust of grain' does so much
damage in Ontario is the fact
that common barberry and the
purple -leaved variety of it are
found to such art extent in almost
ever county. • Leaf ruse of oats
causes serious damage too. This
is because of the presence of the
shrub known 'as European 'Buck-
thorn in hedge rows, along'road-
sides and fence rows and in the
bush.
These shrubs give the rust its,
start in the spring and an opport
unity to produce new strains of
rust At this time of the year,'
thick yellow spots appear on the"'
under•sids of the leaves of these
shrubs. If you are bothered with
rust on your oats, and have any
of these bushes on your farm,
they should be destroyed as soon
that one cluster pustle on a bar-
ehat one cluster pustle on. a bar-
berry or buckthorn leaf, . may
produce as many as 8 million
spores, which spread to the grain
and cause rust infection. There-
fore, the presence of barberry or
buckthorn on your farm or in
your community, greatly increases
the rust infection on your grain.
•Much benefit would be assured
H all shrubs of both species found
growing in fence rows, etc., des-
troyed, All shrubs cut or des-
troyel now, will give some mea-
sure of protection. The shrubs
closest to any grain field are the
most likely to start the menace
of rust, which, when once estab-
lished, will spread without the
aid of these host plants. It is a
known fact that rust once estab-
lished, will move on to other
fields and other localities, due to
