and Pacific Coast States. As result, in- lection has been found in small quan- titles but widely scattered throughout Southern and Western New York. In the St. Croix Valley in Minnesota and Wisconsin, not only have diseased entrants and gooseberries been found over an area approximately 70 miles long and 10 miles wide, but diseased pines have been found as far north as Pine City. In Pennsylvania, South Dakota and Iowa, the only disease found has been in plantations made from stock purchased from nurseries. However, it is encouraging to learn that the disease has not been found west of the great plains, so for the present at least the sugar pine and western white pine are not in danger.
 The lumbermen are to be congrat- ulated on the timely action of the Federal Horticultural Board in plac- ing a quarantine on the movement of nursery stock of white pine and cur rants and gooseberries from the East ern United States, west of a line drawn along the western boundary of Min nesota, southward to the Gulf. This greatly lessens the possibility of in troducing this dangerous disease into the splendid pine forests of the coast.
 Chestnut Blight.
 The history of the blister rust inva- sion should be our final warning. Chestnut blight was brought to this country from China and Japan, and has caused millions of dollars loss. The loss from this disease in the State of Pennsylvania alone, up to the pres

fitness for special purposes, but as profitable tree crop no other American tree offers the splendid possibilities of white pine. In Southern New Eng land the planting of white pine has assumed large proportions because its rapid growth and high stumpage values makes it the most profitable crop which could be grown on thou sands of acres of cut over land and worn out pastures. White pine also is highly resistant to the attacks of the gypsy moth and has been largely planted in certain localities to take the place of the hardwoods of which the insect feeds.
 Not An Insect.
 The white pine blister disease is not an insect, but a plant parasite, which grows inside of the bark and sap wood of white pine and other five-leaved pines, gradually girdling the branch or trunk, causing death above the part affected. A period of incubation, varying from one to six or seven years, takes place after the pines are affected. The bark eventu- ally becomes swollen and discolored, and in the spring (late April to early June), the sacs or "blisters," from which the disease takes it's name ap- pears on the surface. The sac is 8 white membrane; it is about the size of grain of corn and contains thou sands of orange colored, dust-like seeds. After few days the covering of the "blister" breaks and the spores are broadcasted by the wind.
 Many States Infected.
 An extensive search for the blister rust has been carried on in Western New York, Pennsylvania, the lake States, and in the Rocky Mountains

Major William B. Greeley, Assistant United States Forester, is deputy di- rector.
 The work of these men will be to utilize the materials of the French forests in supplying tinnbers for the building of trenches and the many other forms of construction necessary to modern warfare. Complete logging and sawmill equipment is provided for them and the regiments will afford the Allied forces a source of supply for their timber needs of every char acter. In addition the trained forest CTS will work with an eye to the future of the forests, selecting those trees which may be harvested with the least damage.
 Relief Needed.
 Importance of making relief provi- sion for the men and their families is emphasized by R. H. Downman, Lumber Director of the Committee on Raw Materials for the Council of Ma tional Defense.
 ''The men who compose the Forest Regiments are making big personal sacrifice in following the flag into the French forests" said MT. Downman. "A large majority of these men are above the draft age, but they have answered their country's call. With the unprecedented demand for lum- Der at home there is work at high wages for all the men who are skilled in any branch of forestry numbering and sawmill operations. Thousands of men who could stay at home at wartime wages have answered. These men will build the things needed to make your boys comfortable.
 'NTheir work is as important as that of the soldier in the trenches and the purpose of the Lumber and Forests Relief Committee is to provide com forts for these men and perhaps their families if necessary. It is important that this fund have prompt and cor dial support of all lumber men and all timber interests. l hope this will take the form of generous contributions sent at once to the headquarters of the American Forestry Association in the Maryland Building here."
 The fund was organized by men widely known in forestry and lumber fields. The committee is: Charles

 J. W. Tourney, director of Yale uni- versity School Of Forestry, points to the great importance of forestry work and the lesson of denuded France as l a sign post to this country. He vieEs the situation this way:
 ''The war is bleeding Europe drE Of the forest growth of a century. England, whose chief dependence for wood for two centuries has been from beyond the seas, is destined to be stripped as bare as China before the end of hostiltties. She now sees her great mistake in the neglect of her absolute forest lands and the great economic advantage in times of war when lumber-laden ships are swept from the sea. in having adequate re- serves of lumber. Many decades must pass after the dawn of peace before Great Britain can re-establish produc- tive stands of timber. She has learned her lesson, and her meagre and seat tered forests and neglected absolute forest land of the past will believe, give way to a glorious renaissance and a development of we1-managed forests beyond even the dream of the past.
 Lesson Of Denuded France.
 "The well managed forests oe France in those parts of the country devastated by the nations of middle Europe are being depleted with start ling rapidity. The French, however, with the assistance of the American Foresters, are felling the forests with an eye to the future and the securing ] of reproduction so that when the peace comes the reconstruction will bring back the production of the ab- solute forest lands to their normal ca pacity. The forest capital of all ESu- rope, will, however, be enormously cut into when fighting ceases and the not over abundant forest resources of the rest of the world will be required to rebuild Europe.
 l "The lessons of the great war that so clearly shows the necessity of forests for the existence of national life should be taken to heart by the people of America. Our slogan should be, Make the land produce.' This slogan should ring from every school house, from every board of trade from every organization from Maine to California, that is striving for the | betterment of the nation"

In addition to training the house. wives who, by the way, are increas- ing in attendance each day, the Lib erty War Kitchen is also training volunteer teachers who are willing to give their time later to demonstrat, ing the Kitchens principles. Without such teachers, obviously the work must go on in a limited way; and with a large number of these teach CTS at the disposal of the Executive Committee, the Kitchen can grow and establish the many branches that oth- CT sections of the city and the country are asking.
 While this work of expansion is an- ucipated, the committee has already prepared a pamphlet of wartime re- cipes; and every recipe in it has been tested and proved to be practical and worthwhile.
 Use Fat Instead Of Butter.
 Fats are scarce, so the housewife attending the kitchen hears that she must save all the drippings from her frying and other cooking pans; and she must not allow the butcher to cut and throw away the suet from steak she buys. She must ask for this suet and take it home and render it into fat
 The Kitchen teaches a method of utilizing this fat so that it serves as substitute for butter, and indeed tastes like butter. Here is the recipe: To six parts of fat, which has been rendered from beef suet and boiled with water to carry off the animal odor and taste, mix one-half cup of sour milk. and set away to harden. When cool, this mixture may be used much the same as butter in cooking.
 In substituting for meat, the Kit chen demonstrates the use of nuts, cheese, eggs, cereals and fish. Its recipe for salmon loaf is popular: One slice of stale bread cooked smooth with one-haf cup of milk; '.rice" one cup of salmon with a po- tato rfcer and add to the above; then add one-quarter of a cup of milk, one egg. one-quarter teaspoonful of salt, dust with pepper, mix thoroughly and pour into 8 grated paper-lined mold and bake in a water bath until firm;

 Much of our weekly program is given to making the housewife alert to every opportunity for applying this knowledge in her own kitchen. More over, we show her how to conserve food in this way and yet to make 1t taste as good and to be as nourishing as in the prodigal days before the war;
 A Sample Week In The Kitchen. A resume of a weeks work in the kitchen is enlightening. The program accommodates many different les sons-aIl of them essentially practical for use in the average home kitchen. Special stress is laid upon the fact that special equipment is not neces- sary; in fact, the ordinary utensils of | the average kitchen are quite ade- quate for utilizing for home consump- ton the recipes and conservation methods taught in the class room- i On Monday morning, for examp1e, an hour and a half is given to in struction in the making of yeast and soups; and in the afternoon an ex- pert of the Department of Agricul- ture, or the Food Administration, makes a special demonstration of food conservation along some particular line.
 Tuesday, perhaps, finds the class utilizing the yeast made the day be- fore in the mixing and baking of war bread; with lecture upon the con- servation of fats. Wednesday morn ing, too. is devoted to the making of war bread-for this is a most im- portant item of the Nations war diet, as the people of the United States

 The kitchen is open to all women for instruction, absolutely without fee except that each woman, of course, must defray the cost of the ingredi- ents she uses in making the various dishes listed. She is permitted, how ever, to take home any dish she pre- pares.
 Committee In Charge Of The Project.
 The classes vary in size and all of them are well attended,; indeed, the little room in the basement is crowd ed always during working hours. The women in the work have been drawn together naturally by mutual interest in similar work; and their plan to establish war kitchen, which Fshould teach the principles of food conservation by demonstrating meth ods of saving scarce materials by using substitutes for all staple articles, grew out of the Capital Garden Club.

SUPT. v. J. HUNTING
GIVES BURG A CALL

Supt. w. J. Hunting. for the past
eleven years City Supt. OF the Carson
City schools is making his campaign
for State Supt. OF Schools upon a
broad platform OF progress and con
structive reorganization.
Born in Iowa in 1874, educated in
rural village and city schools, grad
uate OF the State University OF Ne
braska, Prof Hunting has had nine
teen years experience as teacher and
supervisor.
Outside OF his work in the Carson
City schools, Supt Hunting has been
widely interested in school matters
OF the entire state. having been for
four years President OF the Nevada
State Educational Association. mem
Der OF the State Textbook Commits
sion, State director OF the National
Education Association and author OF
the 1917 School Apportionment law.
Supt Hunting believes that the SUI
pervision of the public schools should
be non-partisan and free from person
al machine politics; that the deputy
superintendent system should be
made more responsive to the people.
Democracy in the supervision OF the
schools will not weaken, but rather
strengthen the efficiency OF the sys-
TEN. By bringing the selection OF
supervisors closer to the people, an
effective form of organization with the
vital force of the people behind it
can bring far greater results for the
money and effort expended.
