Michigan Cuts Grain Damage From Barberry EAST LANSING (UP) The barberry eradication program, conducted in the state by the Department of Agriculture co-operating with Michigan State College, paid dividends in 1945. Since the project was started to 1918, more than 6.600.000 barberry bushes that served as host plants for the fungus causing the stem rust disease have been removed from Michigan. Preliminary loss estimates, based on observation throughout the season, indicate that damage to wheat, oats barley sad rye from stem rust was less than one-half of one per cent. About 70 per cent of Michigan has been so thoroughly covered by eradicators that no further work will be necessary.

About 12 per cent will require a farmstead survey. Farmers are asked to destroy any bushes they find for the bene-fit of their own crops. If the barberry can be kept down, and grow-ers will use rust-resistant varieties of grain and follow approved cultural methods, little damage from rust Is anticipated.
