MAKE FIGHT ON
WHITE PINE BLISTER
GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL IN
SPECTS FORESTRY DEPART
MENT AT "U"

Norman w. Sherer, government
field assistant in white pine blister
rust eradication, recently spent sew
eral days inspecting the School OF
Forestry arboretum at the university
The white pine blister rust is fun
gous disease, which threatens the en-
tire while pine industry of the coun-
try. It was introduced into the Unit
ed States some 20 years ago from
Germany and other European coun-
tries, through the importation of in
fected nursery stock. 1t is now thor
oughly established in the New Eng
land states, and has spread through
New York and Pennsylvania and as
far west as Wisconsin and Minnesota,
Only the utmost care will keep it
out of the white pine forests of Idaho
and other western states.
Although little noticed at first, this
disease had developed to such alarm
ing proportions two or three years ago
that congress appropriated three hum
dred thousand dollars for it's control.
Several of the states have now raised
large sums for the same purpose.
The blister rust does not attack any
trees other than the white pine,
known as the five-needled trees be-
cause they bear their needles or
leaves in bundles of fives. The di-
sease is also distinctive in that it is
not communicative from pine to pine,
but through the medium of some mem
ber of the currant or gooseberry fam
lily, upon the leaves of which it de-
velops two stages of it's life cycle
1t thrives on any kind of currant or
gooseberry, either wild or cultivated.
The remedy, therefore, and the only
one known to science up to this time,
is absolutely to destroy every vestige
of currant or gooseberry growth in
the vicinity of the disease and this
heroic remedy is being APPLIED, though
the disease is far from being under
control as yet.
It is of the very greatest import
ance to prevent the spread of the
blister rust to the white pine forests
of the west, where the possible loss is
even greater than it is in the east.
The merchantable white pine of the
west, the bulk of which is found in
Idaho and western Montana, is valued
at upwards of two hundred and forty
million dollars, not to mention the
value of the young growth. Forum
ately the disease has nowhere been
discovered in the western forests, and
it is thought that the federal quaran-
tine laws prohibiting the shipment of
white pine as well as currant and.
gooseberry stock from the infected
,erritory into this region, and other
measures, being adopted,
will save the vests white pine from
attack.
No trace of the blister rust was
'ound in the School of Forestry ar
ooretum. However, the school will
observe the federal regulation not to
sell any of the eastern white pine
rom its nurseries. All other stock
will be on sale the coming spring as
Usual.

Protest Telephone Charge.

HELENA, Mont, Sept 18.-Because
it believes the charges excessive and
that the rule will materially handicap
handling the production of farms and
impair the efficiency of business, the
Montana public service commission to-
day forwarded to Postmaster General
Burleson a protest against the telephone
installation charge of S. to SIS, recently
promulgated by the government The
commission declares that it feels that
these rates will tend to retard the de-
velopment of Montana.

Chemin des Danes. They call that part
of the line southeast of La Fere the
Alberich line. This would add about IS
miles, making a total length of more
than 100 miles Generally, however, the
Hindenburg line has been described as
running only from Vimy Ridge to La
Fere.
Fearing that the northern end of the
line might be turned the Germans estab-
lished Switch" line connecting with
the Hindenburg line at Queant and run
ming north about Is miles to Drocourt.
They called this switch the Wotan line.
The northern end of the Hindenburg
line and the Wotan line both have been
broken more than once by the British
armies and both are now in possession
of the British armies. Long ago the
Germans lost Viny Ridge and have
failed to retake it.
The Hindenburg line is not trench
but system of field Notifications In
places it is said to be 10 miles deep, con-
sisting not only of the trench system,
but of multiple lines of barbed wire en-
tanglements, concrete positions for arti1-
lery, deep dugouts capable of housing a
battalion of. troops, numerous pill-boxes
for machines guns; and, in fact, every
device the Germans have been able to
assemble to block the way to Germany.
Near Bu1lecourt was a formidable
underground fortification known as the
Tunnel Trench" which the Germans

TO STABILIZE EXCHANGES.
Allies and Neutrals Plan Con-
ccrted Action.

PARIS. July ol.---The movement wi iCh
recently led to the betterment Of Italian
exchanges has now been extended TO
London and Paris. Cooperation among
the Governments and banking institu-
tons of England. France. Italy and the
United states has contributed TO this
effect. 1t is now stated that the present
unsatisfactory condition OF several allied
exchanges in neutral countries likewise
will be made the subject of concerted
action, and that based upon general COM
mercial relations existing between the
United States and the European Allies
on one hand and all OF the neutral ma
lions on the other such concerted action
will undoubtedly reestablish allied
moneys in better relation to neutral
moneys than is now the case.
1t is believed in financial circles that
the recent appointment Of Oscar Terry
Crosby as special Commissioner of
Finance for the United States in Europe
is connected with negotiations in this
direction. Mr.. Crosby is now In Paris
and is resuming | is duties as president
OF the Interalled Council on War Pur-
chases and Finance. in addition to those
of special Financial Commissioner
Norman H. Davis, who accompanied
Mr.. Crosby. goes to Spain at an early
date as special financial delegate.

purposes has been given out by the War
Industries Board which is higher than
expected-20. 000,0 900 net tons Of steel
for the second half OF the year. Lately
the rate OF production has been about
100000 tons q month, and the manu-
facturers are sceptical Of the war ac-
tivities being able TO consume the amount
announced as needed by the board. 1t is
likely enough that some of this steel will
be kept over until the early part OF next
year. The merchant mills are working
full capacity In the sections OF the in
dustry nearest to war work according
to the usefulness of their product The
production OF shell steel is very heavy
and the plate mills are not losing any
time, producing half a million tons a
month.
More Freight Cars to he ordered.
Some time ago 1t was announced that
the Government had given orders for
100000 freight cars, and this week
comes the news that an order for AGO.
900 more Is coming very soon. The cars
will be used on domestic roads. as well
as some for the American railroad in
France and also French roads. These
orders will be placed where steel is left
over after more necessary war wants
have been attended to. Pittsburg steel
men do not believe the report coming
out of Washington that the War In
dusstries Board Is contemplating the
building Of additional steel mills. as they
say the operation would take too long a
time to do any good In winning the war
besides taking up a lot of material and
labor that Is needed elsewhere In the
turning out of material to be sent to the
French front
The whole steel market is very quiet
and the analysis Is that this Is a refiec.

PIrrsBURG, July 2l.--The distribution
Of steel by the mills is on a very salts
factory basis, now that the owners and
manufacturers understand the new regu-
lations of the War Industries Board
Priority orders have been the bane OF
the producers, but they are fast disap-
pearing and their place taken by the
preference list, which simplifies the
whole proceeding of buying and selling.
Some changes have been made as to the
furnishing of the finishing branches with
crude steel, the wire rod mills having
been kept down to 60 per cent. of their
capa city, while the sheet mills were not
much bettsr off. The new regulations
will give these two departments of the
industry more material. and they will

any extent Producers are particularly
free to make sales to buyers on the pref
ercnce list, and indeed there Is no for
NAL restriction against their making
sales to others. there being simply the
practical one that the business would
not amount to much when the producer
would be quite unable to make any de-
livery promise. After all, there Is now
quite an open market, SO far as regula-
lions are concerned, but there Is a de-
cided lack Of inquiry.
Alloy Market Quiet.
The market in both ferromanganese
and spiegeleisep is quiet. While both
alloys are scarce the inquiry that comes
out occasionally Is usually satisfied.
Ferromanganese continues to be quoted
at $3.50 delivered for 70 per cent, with
81 unit additional for higher man
ganese contents. There have been no
recent reports of the extra unit price
being shaded, and II Ia not regarded as
proper that It should be shaded when
there Is a general effort to promote the
consumption Of 70 per cent material
for shading Of the extra would tend to
encourage the use of the higher alloy.
Spiegeleisen Is fairly we'll established on
the basis Of $75 at furnace for 16 per
cent For while after the advance
from $40 consumers were indisposed to
pay the higher price except for early
deliveries, but now II seems the price
Is fairly uniform at SIS irrespective Of
delivery.
