Ham, federal agent in charge of barberry eradication in MIcHenry county, the citizens in and around McHenry are giving splendid aid in finding common barberry bushes growing in community. Mr. Ham says that during the past few days two letters have come to him, telling the exact location of barberry bushes. This sort of cooperation is greatly appreciated by the representatievs of the U. S. Department of Agriculture working in this county. During the past three weeks, 136 large bushes and 2657 seedling barberry bushes have been found in McHenry Township. These bushes were located on twenty-one different properties and approximately 4500 pounds of crushed rock salt was used in destroying them. The salt is furnished by the federal Government and is applied to the harmful bushes without cost to the property owner. Many of the barberry bushes found recently have been heavily jnfected with stem rust. The rust spreads from the barberry bush to grains, where it causes excessive damage. Grains in McHenry county are showing "rather heavy infestations of stem rust, and it is much worse in vicinities near common barberry bushes. One barberry bush under favorable circumstances can spread rust to grains for several miles. The federal inspectors Bftjr that barberry bushes may be found in any rlace that bushes will grow. Because of this fact it is very hard to find every bush. They ask that farmers and other interested citizens help them their work by reporting any bush suspected of being common barberry, to Box 276, McHenry.
