T --and just go-carts What Rust on Grain has Cost What rust on grain has cost the Cans- dian farmer in cold cash through startling reductions in yield, and what, in turn, the consequent cut in spending power has ieant in hardship to the wage earners in eastern Canada who produce goods western Canadians buy, can probably not be cal- culated, But no two representatives, rai growers or manufacturers wot tute to declare the cost to Canada as on> expressed in terms of hundreds of millions Sf dollars. So anything tending to lessen the power of this curse to the grower of grait is certein to work out to the general advantage of Canada, And, it appears now that there is a good reason for optim- ism among those who have been actively enguged in solving the problem and so in- creasing the effectiveness of Canada's food contribution to the Allied cause, and the base of prosperity of Canadians from the Atlantic to the Pacific. "Many people, indeed forsee the utter extinction of the rust menace in Canada in the eradication of the barberry plant, und in the development by Seager Wheeler "the Luther Burbank of the Canadian wheat world--of a variety of the great es- | cereal that matures some ten days carlier than thet generally grown in the Western provinces. It seems to have been proved absolutely that the decorative barberry--except the Japanese sort--is the chief cause of the propagation of rust trouble, and already in the spring wheat belt in the United States 'nd in Canada, un organized campaign is working for the eradication of the barberry jn all sections likely to infect the growing grain, It was brought out in Congress in 'Washington by the Hon. George Young of North Dakota, that the settlers in the col- ony of Massachusetts in 1755 were aware 'of the intimate relations between the bar- berry plant, and rust on wheat, and th law was passed thirty years ago, providing for the rooting out of the shrub in that jurisdiction. Denmark, however, bas he gun the modern crusade, und Hon. Mr. Young says thet rust has practically' slis- appeared from the wheet fields of that pro- gressive Scandinavian country since the Enrrying into effect of the campaign against the innocent-appearing barberry. For the past eleven yeurs, on his farm near Rosthern on the Canadian Northern Railway in Central Saskatchewan he has been "breeding" a strains of wheat that mstures early. In itself thet should be of value as a guarantee against loss by frost. But there is the added nificance that by the time the rust usually develops on the wheat in the west, his wheat bss developed to the point where it can do practically no harm. 'While little has been said in public in Teaders in Canadian agriculture the rust evil in Dean Ruther- katoon, point "The people aware of us from Dakota or from any of the states IGHT here particularly if you want quality.

Steps fare being taken to have it destroyed in all gardens and hedges." And further:-- "Conferences have been held already in Western Canada for the purpose of discuss- ing ways and means of preventing rust. 'One of the matters that received considera- tion was that of the barberry and it was recommended that this plant be destroyed. 'The barberry has not been used extensively in Western Canada yet, probably more of it can be found in parks and large public grounds than anywhere else. As theso are finder governing bodies, either Municipal or Government, it will be = very eusy mat- ter to heve this plant eradicated. The Dominion Department of Agriculture is interesting itself in this most important question and has under way carefully plan- ned investigations with reference to it." 'And Seager Wheeler says of his new "breed" of wheat:-- "Red Bobs comes up to all my expecta- tions in practically every respect--more 80 than T could reasonably expect. T person- ally consider it a perfect wheat to suit our fonditions in the west in point of earli- news to. reasonably escape damage from arly fall frosts and rust, These two points Clone make it a very promising sort, ms frost in every season gets some of the crops, and in 1916 the lost from rust, alone, in Canada amounted to" $135,000,000. "Red Bobs matures a week to ten days earlier than even the Marquis. While it swtnot altogether rust, resistant, it is prac: tically immune owing to its stage of filling Ut'the time rust begins to develop, so that Siet cannot do any damage to the grains te it will be filled before rust makes any headway in the crop.
