Deputy minister James H Evans explains wheat rust as a parasitic disease spread by spores from the south. He notes Western Canada’s large prairie wheat crop heightening risk, describes rust varieties and barberry links, and details how winter spores require barberry hosts before reattacking wheat.
A historical discussion explains how the wheat rust spreads from barberry to wheat across regions from Texas to Manitoba. It notes the vast, uncertain drift distance, government barberry destruction efforts, and plant breeding aims for rust resistant, milling-quality wheat. Practical farmer advice includes early sowing, good seed, thick stands on rich soils, proper seed bed, shallow sowing, even manure, and avoiding harrowing to prevent delayed maturity.
