PUBLIC ASKED TO ACT AT
ONCE TO SAVE WHITE PINES

State nursery inspectors, state for
esters and other official representa-
tives from New Hampshire, Vermont
New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode lslanc
and Massachusetts, met at Fall River
Mass, on September 25th, at the invi-
tation of the Massachusetts State
Board of Agriculture, to examine a
serious outbreak Of the white pine
blister rust on native white pine
This examination proved plainly to all
that the blister rust is deadly enemy
of the white pine.
Reports given by the representa-
tives of the states showed that the
white pine blister rust is already
widely prevalent throughout the New
England States and eastern New York,
and as this dangerous disease uses
the currant and gooseberry as host
plant to grow upon, and spreads very
rapidly from currant to currant and
from currant to pine, it was the unan-
imous opinion of all present that as
the only way to avert the impending
catastrophe, and save the white pine,
would be through complete destruc-
ton of all currant and gooseberry
bushes and Towering currants, the
public should be given this informa-
tion at once.
This disease was brought into the
United States from Europe on white
pine seedlings. In the spring the
spores or seeds are blown by the wind
from diseased pines to the currant
and gooseberry leaves. The seeds
germinate, penetrate, the leaf tissues,
and produce a rust on the underside Of
the leaves in late summer and fall.
The leaves produce millions of tiny
spores or seeds capable of injecting
the pines, which once thoroughly in
fected cannot recover.
The currant and gooseberry leaves
in large areas throughout the New
England States and eastern New York
are now infected with the blister rust
in the stage when it returns to the
white pines, and the immediate remov-
al of currant and gooseberry bushes is
necessary to save our white pine trees.
1t is especially urgent that all black
and Towering currant bushes within
half a mile of white pine should be
destroyed at once, since these varieties
are particularly susceptible to the dis
ease.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Mr.. o. r. Bennett,
Editor, The Journal,
Manche stnr, VI.

Editor, The Journal,
Manchester, VT
NV dear MIR. Bennett:
The conservation Of natural re-
sources has become one of the larg-
est issues Of our time. In the cam
paign of 1912, il formed one OF the
chief planks in the Democratic plat
form. and was often endorsed in Mr.
Wilson's speeches. His inaugural ad-
dress committed him fully to support
it.
For these reasons it is important to
know what the Wilson Administration
has done. As one man deeply inter
ested in conservation and familiar
with the record, ! am writing to lay
il briefly before you.
When he took office, Mr.. Wilson
ceased to say much on conservation
preferring to let the members of his
cabinet speak for him. After his In
auguration, the friends of conserva-
ton, regardless of partisanship, offer
ed him their help in putting the con-
servation policies through. The op-
portunity invited action. The fight to
save Alaska from the Guggenhelms
had created living body of public
opinion which lacked only official
leadership to save what resources
still remained in public lands. 1t
seemed at first that President Wilson
would lead.
At the outset the work Of the Will
son administration in conservation
was good Congress passed, and Mr..
Wilson signed, the Alaska Railroad
Bill and the bill which assured Gov
ernment control of coal land in Alaska.
These measures were excellent, and
President Wilson deserves praise for
their enactment. So he does for his
veto of bill to give away National
Forest lands.
Unfortunately these creditable in
stances form but little Of the record.
Politics came into control. Thus bill
seeking TO turn the natural resources
of Alaska over to a political commits
sion was repeatedly recommended by
the administration through the mouth
Of the Secretary of the Interior II
passed it would throw Alaska into the
hands Of the special interests and es-
tablished a policy almost certain to
destroy the National control of natur-
nj resources everywhere else as we'll
This measure we were fortunately
able TO stop.
When Wilson became President, the
reclamation service, in its great work
of irrigating the arid lands OF the
West, was wholly free from politics.
By the mouth of his Secretary of the
Interior Wilson advocated, and later
signed. bill which leaves the choice
OF lands to be reclaimed to Commit
tee Of Congress, and so makes politics
dominate the service.
Director Newell was the man who
created the Reclamation Service. He
made ard kept it one Of the most
efficient bureaus under the Govern
ment. The Secretary Of the Interior
forced him out, and replaced him by
q commission /. which politicians con-
trol.
The Newlands bill is a conservation
measure which proposes TO develop all
the resources OF our inland water
ways-waterpower, navigation, irriga-
tion. and domestic supply,--for the
public benefit Although Wilson
strongly endorsed II during his cam
paign. as President he let it drop,
and instead has signed two waterway
bills Of the old pork barrel type
which are everything the Newiands
bill il not
