10 BSTh) MCHUKw 14 A 17111 DECLARED 0:J TREACHEROUS EtlEMIESATIIOME European Barberry, Which Acts as Nurse for Black Rust, ; - Cootie of the Wteat, , ' : Must Go. : '' One of the rankest traitors to the cause of freedom, and one of the most potent friends of the kaiser and autoc racy in thet middle wes today is the - all, of European barberry. ' During s most of " the year it is harmless, but for a week or so it acts ss nurse for the cootie of the wheat, that ; destructive parasite known srs " black rust 'h ? ' .,' :.-. ; Without . the European barberry to five it aid and comfort the Mungus which' produces hjack rust would .have no place to breed and multiply and it would, in the absence of the t fcost plant, perish and die." j 1 It is the fact that the European barberry gives aid aid comfort to the enemy that makes t dangerous. Be- - cause it does entertain and nourish the blade rust, which gets in the wheat and shriyels the grain so that it is not fit to feed to chickens, the edict lias gone forth that it must be rooted out and burned.' ; : Destructive Pest. v ' President Wilson and the governors .of many states includingthe extcu jive of .Nebraska, have issued procla ' mations asking all patriotic citizens to make war. on. the shrub and de ftroy it wherever they find it growing. - la 1910 more than 200,000,000 bush 'Is of wheat were destroyed by. the Jlack rust, and of trfis Nebraska's m , was $600,000. Should such 1 disaster feccur again it would nullify all that housewives and citizens have done in Hooverizing on wheat during the last few months. It would overcome the advantage of. .increased acreage of wheat in, the spring wheat stares, and would probably be the deciding iactor (ji the, defeat of the allies and the cause of world democracy. The fungus of the black rust win- . fSra: on straw and crass stems. . In 4 te spring the spores mature and ara Mown about by the wind, often for Snr distances and in its progress it aided by more than 50 varieties of . trasses. The snores lodge ' on the fcavel of the European barberry, where they breed and multiply. After 13 davs they leave the host' plant ' ind seek the barley, wheat rye and cats, living off the elements of plant lood that go to produce the berry. , Driven From Parks. " -, ,. The European .barberry, to be de prived of its evil influence as an ally . i - ... t :..t, of the kaiser.' and a oromoter of junk erism should be utterly destroyed before the l$th of May. Miss Walker, special agent of the United States Department of Agri culture, is in Omaha, consulting with pity and, school officials as to the best means of eradicating the shrub irom Omaha and Douglas , county. Park' "Commissioner Hummel has already acted and. has warred on the treacherous plant so that it has been driven from the Omaha parks. Mr. Finlayson, superintendent of build ings and grounds of the Omaha schools, has ordered all of the purple and -common barberry bushes re moved from the school ground. A specially trained group of High school students has been instructed to make a survey of. the city and tag t!l ct the shrubs found and request th4 owners to destroy them. Description of Bush. ',' The European or tomnion purple barberry grows to a height of ,12 feet and its habit is open, and coarse. It has thorns. which have three to ive Joints, sometimes single thorns are founi. ; The leaves are large, with tootned edges, and are of green and purple color.
