OREGON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 1929 NUMBER 258 RUST RESISTANCE FIND ENCOURAGING Cannrlisin "Hico nvPW a n a a i a n uis c ovei y Brings Hope to Ameri can Wheat Growers. Hy Frank I. Weller (Associated Press Kami Kdltor) WASHINGTON AI') lr. J. H. Grisdule .deputy minister of the Canadian department of agricul ture, is quoted in Ottama as an nouncing1 the development of wheats which can resist rust. Seed will not be available In large quuntnties for two or three years, but it is expected that even tually the new wheat will save Ca nadian farmers millions of dol lars every year. The announcement Is of deep in terest to wheat specialists in tho United States, where black stum rust causes probably greater loss tb the spring wheat crop than alt other diseases combined. The federal plant-disease survey estimates that stem rust has caus ed losses of spring and winter wheat during recent years ranging from GG5.HO0 bushels in Mil 8 to about 1 So.iHiojHHi in MMti. with an average annual loss of nearly 3S( - ucHMHHi bushels in tho l'A north 1T central states. Kf forts to 'halt the tremendous destruction include eradication of Ltlic common barberry, host plant of black stem rust; tho Arrowing- ot rust-resistant varieties, and the use or Improved methods or field cul ture. Production of varieties resistant to rust is a complex problem, since the disease consists of many bio logic forms which differ In their pathogenicity for certain varieties of wheat. That cxplains-why tfte. same var iety may be resisiunt when grown In one locality and susceptible i when grown In another, or why a variety may be resistant In the same locality in one- year and bus- ceptible In tho next. It is obvious, plant pathologists nay, that if wheat is to be resistant in tho field It must be resistant to all biologic forms present In tho lociility In which it is to bo grown. Whether the Canadians have ac complished this feat remains to bo determined. Until that time therr Js a question whether the wheat, although resistant in Canada's spring wheat provinces, would be resistant In the United States. Tho United States department of (agriculture has had varied success in developing resistance In ..pure strains and In crosses but has" been unable to find a wheat uniformly resistant In all regions In all sea sons. Twenty-one biologic forms of rust have been found In the tip- 0 that Whether it is your 1st tin or your 61st - - it never varies. ' A quality that never varies comes only from methods that never vary. That's why cheap coffee-making and fine coffee-making do not belong together - - for nothing is so contagious as "cheapness." There is one coffee roaster who specializes on fine coffee only. No 2nd or 3rd grades - no cheap blends - ever enter or leave the fragrant Schilling roasting rooms - - - the only place in America where that is true. per half of the Mississippi valle5.

One of the chief difficulties Is to find a hardy wheat that at tho same time is prolific and of hih Pt,toin content.
