Wheat rust devastates western Canadian crops year
Dr E S Archibald warned after trips to the west that western Canada faces the worst black stem rust epidemic.

The affected regions include southern Manitoba and southeastern Saskatchewan with Alberta and northwest Saskatchewan spared. Damage may ease next years as 8 000 to 9 000 bushels of rust resistant wheat become available for seed.
