WHITE PINE BLISTER
RUST ON WILD CURRANTS

Assistant State Horticultural Sam
uel H. Eaton Of oxford has returned
from Springvale, where he has found
evidences of the white pine blister
on wild currants in a bog. He detect
ed the rust on the upper side Of
currant leaf and was able to identify
1t by the yellow spots and on turning
the leaf over he also found the yellow
spores which are indicative Of this
form Of fungus disease.
AS the rust passes one stage Of its
life upon the currant or gooseberry
bushes. going from these bushes to
the white pine and then back to the
former, it can be readily seen that it
is very important in destroying the
pest to kill all gooseberry and currant
bushes. wild or cultivated, that have
the least show or infection. At times
after the disease has been transmit
for some years before breaking out
again which renders the combating OF
the pest very difficult.
Both State Horticulturist c. L. Will
kins and Assistant Horticulturist
Eaton wish to impress upon the peo-
pie Of Maine that it is Of the utmost

pine blister rust upon currants or
gooseberries should be reported to the
department.
The rust is found on the currants
and gooseberries from June until the
leaves are shed and spreads for lone
distances on them. On currants and
gooseberries it has two forms, the
first or summer form which is seen on
the lower surface of the leaves in the
shape OF small, mealy, bright yellow
masses hardly larger than a pinhead.
which may be very sparse or may be
SO abundant as to form a continuous
mealy layer upon considerable por-
tons OF the leaf surface. Upon shak-
ing such a leaf or blowing it one will
perceive cloud Of yellowish powder
set free. This form Of the disease may
be found from the middle Of June I'M
til the leaves fall, although it is not
SO common in the autumn as in July
or August. The second or autumn
form Of the disease upon currants or
gooseberry leaves is found from the
latter part Of July until the leaves
fall. 1t occurs in small groups Of from
three to 10 or IL short barry ont

FARMERS UNION OF MAINE
FURNISHES RESUME OF
IT'S LATEST INQUIRIES
AND ESTIMATES.

Waterville, Aug. 6.-(Special)-Po-
tato digging time is near and the pro-
Queer is wondering what the price will
be. Each one is entitled to make u
guess. but those who have investi-
gated conditions can perhaps make
the better guess. The potatoes grown
and marketed from the Southern
states do not interest the Maine grow
er except upon general principles, but
he is interested in the Jersey and New
York crop. For that reason our at
tention has been turned to those
points.

planted. Some are taking chances Of

too wet. Acreage 500.
%Trenton, N. Y.-Conditions extremely
bad. owing to rain. Acreage about the
same.
The above is a sample Of the postals
received from many parts Of New
York state. In spite Of the above
We are in possession Of a letter from a
man who has travelled all over the
potato sections Of late and he reports
as follows:
I'VE have made a careful survey of
conditions in all sections out Of Maine
and after making due allowance for
the pessimism Of the average grower
and shipper. we really believe there
will be nearly an average crop in New
York state and a full crop in Micht-
gan. We have made G personal inspec-
ton Of all parts Of New Jersey and
find that although their acreage is a
little under that Of last year the yield
IS far the greatest ever known. The
quality Of the stock is also the best
we ever saw in the state. Long Island
has also largely increased acreage
and an enormous yield. We fail to
see where there is any chance Of a
repetition Of last years prices.
Word has just been received from
Aroostook county that If marketing
conditions are right, digging will be-
gin about the 18th Of August"
The above information comes from
a reliable source, and is the judgment
OF an expert, but due allowance must
be made in all cases, expert or other
wise. During the week the Jersey
potato has been selling f. o. b. load
ing point, at from So to IS cents the
bushel. The Boston market was dull
all the week. There was a feeling
that the price would go to 80 cents
and this caused the buyers to hold off.
Eighty per cent Of the hay has been
housed in Aroostook and about 60 per
cent in Central Maine.
The apple crop will not be as large
as expected. but the quality will be
better on account Of plentiful mois-
ture. The corn crop is showing much
better on account Of favorable wealth.
