DISEASE HITS PINE
Blister Rust Threatens Big
 Economic Loss.
Recent Outbreaks in Eastern States Lead Federal Authorities to Issue Warning-Comes in on lm-
 ported Stock.

Washington, D. C.-The alarming character of the white pine blister rust and the economic loss which it threatens in the northeastern and western United States are sharply em- phasized by four recent serious out bushes in Massachusetts and New York, says the United States depart ment of agriculture. This disease was introduced on imported white pine nursery stock and first appeared at Geneva. N. r., in 1906.
 In 1909 extensive importations of diseased white pine nursery stock were located and destroyed in New York and other eastern states, and warnings were issued broadcast against further importation of white pine from Europe. In spite of these warnings importation continued even from the particular nursery in Ger many which was definitely known to be the main source of disease, until finally in 1912 all such importation
 
 The white pine blister rust affects the eastern white pine, the western white pine, the sugar pine and indeed all of the so-called five-leaf pines, pro- ducing cankers on the stems and branches, killing young trees and maiming and disfiguring old ones. It also produces a leaf disease of cur rant and gooseberry bushes. The fun, gus causing the disease must live for part of its life on pine trees and part of it's life on entrants and goose. berries. The disease cannot spread from one pine tree to another, but must pass first to currant bushes and then back to pine.
 In Europe the disease has made the culture of American white pine i'm. Holland, and has seriously handi- capped its cultivation in Germany Since the trees which it attacks in. clude those of the most important timber trees of the United States, the loss which this disease will produce IT NhNH'Nhtu io very great OTtu nately the disease is not now known 10 be present west of Buffalo, N. Y, but if it is not checked in the eastern states it's ultimate spread to the vast forests of the Rocky noun tains and the Pacific coast is certain The disease now occurs in three To- caities in New Hampshire, two in Vermont. ten in Massachusetts, two in Connecticut. five in New York, one in Pennsylvania and three in Ontario, Canada
 The disease could be controlled now by the destruction of the diseased white pines or the complete destruc- ton of all currant and gooseberry bushes in the vicinity of infected pine trees. Whether or not this simple ac. ton can be accomplished depends up- on the legal authority possessed by the various state horticultural inspec- tors concerned If the inspector is not armed with authority to destroy either currant bushes or the diseased white pines without the consent of the owner, all efforts at control will be unavailing. as a single person by per hitting diseased pines or entrants to remain on his place can nullify the work of an entire community.

of eating raw pork is not to be en- couraged. In any case it should be remembered that fresh pork, or ordi- nary cured pork products, are not safe as food unless properly cooked. It can not be determined with cer- tainty by inspection whether pork Is free from trichinae, and the federal meat inspection mark does not guar antee the fitness of pork for food if 1t is eaten raw
 A practical rule for cooking pork is to cook it until it has lost it's red color throughout all portions, or if a trace of this color is still present, at least until the fluids of the meat have become more or less jellied.
