RUST IN CEREALS
Scientists’ Investigations Vancouver, June 8. Compared with the complexity of the problem in America in combating cereal rust, the situation in Australia is simple, as only seven different strains of wheat stem rust are found, so Dr. W. L. Waterhouse, of Sydney, told the Science Congress on Thursday. All but one were peculiar to Australia, he stated, and this one, recently discovered, was known to other countries and had superseded the other six. No Australian wheats were resistent to this form of rust, and the plantbreeding problem of Australia had been profoundly affected in consequence. He emphasised the desirability of a standardisation in the technique followed by each country in studying the problem in order that the form of rust in one country might be known by the same name In another.
