Description

Why the Common Barberry Must Be Destroyed. It harbors and propagates black stem rust of wheat and other grains. It is a patriotic duty of every one in the state who owns even one bush of the common barberry to dig it out and destroy it and thereby help save the millions of bushels of wheat which are annually destroyed by rust.
