II Chestnut Tree Bark Disease
Should be Vigorously Fought.

information Of vital interest to many
timber owners of the State. the article
being on the chestnut tree bark dis
ease. 1t reads:
"The chestnut tree bark disease or
blight has destroyed in Il few years
millions of dollars worth Of timber
and now threatens the extinction of
the chestnut species over several
northern states. The disease has APP
peared in 4 few places. south of the
Potomac river. The United States
Department of Agriculture, in CO.
operation with the several states con-
cerned. is making every effort to pre-
vent the spread Of this destructive
disease to the large chestnut timber
tracts of the southern Appalachians.
The only way to prevent its gain
ing a foothold in a new locality is to
keep a lOokout for it, recognize it on
first appearance, ard promptly cut
down the affected trees and destroy
all the infected material by burning.
1t must be fought very much as are
some highly contagious disease of
stock.
'The disease has recently been
found in Guilford county,, North Caro-

not abundant there. and the disease
has not made much Roadway: so it's

POTASH SEARCH IS
BEING URGED AHEAD
Government Experts Find
That Nevada Offers Fine
Field for Discovery.

In connection with the search for pot
ash in the west which is being made by
the United States geological survey a
great number OF localities have been
visited by the survey geologists, espec-
tally IN the Great basin. Shallow desert
lake beds, so-called dry lakes or playas
are extensively distributed throughout
this region. Most OF these playas con-
tain salts TO a greater or less extent
and nearly all these salts show on an
alysi5 from / TO per cent or more OF
potash. Few of these lake beds show
evidence of having ever been submerged
10 n considerable depth and the de-
posits that lie in the lowest parts OF
them are probably only alternating strata
or cIays and saline muds with thin
salt crusts produced by periodic food
ing and drying up. Large and massive
deposits OF crystalline salts can hardly
be expected except as the result OF the
drying up OF very extensive and deep
saline lake. or as representing the con-
ilnuous accumulation OF saline matter

There is one item, however. that has
