EXTENSION CIRCULAR NO. I APK1 UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS COLLEGE OF A G R I C U L T U R E EXTENSION SERVICE IN AGRICULTURE AND HOME ECONOMICS 1N COOPERATION WITH THE UNITED 8TATE8 DEPARTMENT OF AOKKTl/lCK, W. P. HANDSCHIN, VICR-D I ECTOR K URBANA, ILLINOIS PROTECT THE WHEAT CROP ERADICATE THE COMMON BARBERRY FROM ILLINOIS THE ESSENTIAL FACTS Every grain of wheat is needed. Wheat rust causes large loss. The COMMON BARBERRY harbors the rust, serves as a source of infection, and thus increases this loss. The Japanese barberry is harmless. Any rusted barberry bush is surely injurious to wheat, and a barberry bush even if not rusted is a possible danger. The only safe course is to remove all the common barberry on your premises. Inspectors will soon be on the watch for barberry in Illinois, and they will have the authority to force its removal when infected. The State Council of National Defense and the State Department of Agriculture join with the U. S. Department of Agriculture in this movement. 4 V A •
