EFFORT TO CHECK THE
WHITE PINE DISEASE
Million Dollars Appropriated by the
v. S. Government and States
Are Asked to Cooperate.

Following closely on the heels OF
Ghe, dreaded chestnut blight, another
disease-the White Pine blister rust
is sweeping the White Pine out OF
the eastern part of the United states.
\ few years ago this disease was I'M
ported to Massachusetts. from when
state it has yince spread throughout
New England and from there south
ward to Virginia, Maryland and Ohio.
West Virginia is not yet included IN
the list Of affected states. though II
is easily possible that. the rust has
entered one or more Of the many
sections where the white pine grows,
according to bulletin issued by the
department of agriculture.
During the past fall agents repre-
senting the West Virginia Depart
ment Of Agriculture and the State
Experiment Station were sent 10 eX-
anime the stands of native White
Pine in Pocahontas, Tucker. Morgan
and other counties. and also the plan
tations OF this tree on various es'
tates in the Ohio valley from Wheel
ing to Huntington and Charleston.
While no cases Of Blister Rust were
discovered during this hasty search
q more thorough examination-should
authorize it-would determine wheth,
or or not the disease is present and
would be the first necessary step In
helping to save from extinction one
of the most valuable trees in this
part Of the country. A million dol
lars has been appropriated by the
federal government, and the states
are asked to cooperate in fighting
the disease.
