PLANT

No species or varieties Of fiye-needl-
ed pines nor of cultivated or wild cur
rant and gOoseberry plants or cuttings
may be shipped into South Dakota on
and after April Is from Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts,
Rhode Island. Connecticut, New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wis
consin, and Minnesota. The foregoing
states are ~quarantined by the state
e~ntomologist, II. C. SEVERN at State
College.
In giving the reasons for this drastic
quarantine, Professor SEVERN says:
"The fact has beer determined by
the federal horticultural board of the
United States department of agricul-
ture that a dangerous plant disease,
known as the white pine blister rust
exists in the states of Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts,
Rhode Isanld, Connecticut, New York.
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wis.
consin, and Minnesota. The disease
requires two different kinds of host
plants in order to complete its life
cycle. These hosts are the five needl-
cd pines on the one hand and wild or
cultivated currants or gooseberries on
the other.
Since the white pine Blister Rust
may be introduced into South Dakota
through interstate shipment of nurs-
cry stock affected with this disease, an
absolute quarantine is hereby estah-
lished over the states mentioned. Until
further notice the foregoing quarantine
shall become and be effective on and
after April Is. 1917, and is established
under the authority conferred on the
State Entomologist by Section 6,
Chapter 26O. Session Laws of 1917.

ficials for months past have been per-

Five billion dollars and ten million

enlisted to bring about this result.
Secretary McAdoo opened the cam

A terrific barrage was sent up from

The Germans bombed coast towns
as they passed over and proceeded
toward London. Two of the group
succeeded in getting a number OF ma
chimes through the sky barrage. MI
merous bombs were dropped on the
southwestern district which is thickly
populated with the homes of he up
per and middle classes. The fire from
the defending gu1s was longer and
louder than ever before. A rain of
shrapnel fell in all sections of the
town and the streets were virtually
deserted save for a few police.
The weather was perfect for air
operations as there was a bright full
moon, with no clouds or wind. The
people of London were expecting a
raid and we're awaiting for signals.

MAGNITUDE OF sHIPBUILDlMG
PROGRAM is REVEALED
Nearly 1900 Vessels Are to Be Com
pIeted Within About a Year.

Washington.-The magnitude of the
American g~overnment's shipbuilding
program was revealed for the first
time in a statement by the shipping
board showing that nearly 1900 mes
chant vessels of about 5000 900 ton.
mage will be completed within a lit
tie more than a year..
Completion of ships Communicated
in shipyards and of vessels actually
or about to be contracted for will give
the country a fleet of 1900 ships with
a total tonnage of more than 9OO0.-
600. In addition to this the board will
complete in 1919 vessels already con-
tracted for and under negotiation of
about 1000, 900 tons. A billion dol
lars has just been asked of Congress
to complete the program.
The United States now is leading
the world in shipbuilding and if the
present rate of construction were kent
up would become the leading ship
ping nation of the world in a few
years. The British, whose present
ocean-going tonnage is about 10000
90, are hampered in building by lack
of men and materials. In all other
countries except Japan building vir-
tually is at a %standstill.
