RUST DISEASE IN WHEAT
SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATIONS. STANDARDISATION ADVOCATED. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph Copyright.) VANCOUVER, June 8. Addressing the Science Congress today, Dr. W. I>. Waterhouse (Sydney), said that compared with the complexity of the problem in America in combating cereal rust, the situation in Australia was simple, as only seven different strains of wheat stem rust wea-e, found. All but one were peculiar to Australia, and this one recently discovered was known in other countries and had superseded the other six. No Australian wheats were resistant to this form of rust, and the plant-breed-air problem in Australia was profoundv”affected in consequence. Dr. Waterhouse emphasised the desirabiftv or a standardisation in the technique followed in each country : which" studied the problem in order that the form of rust in one country m.gilt be known by the same name m another.
