fruit pest, and the pink boil worm of
cotton, from Mexico, which is capable
of making the best efforts of the cotton
boil weevil appear puny in compari-
son. The life stories of some of these
pests, as unfolded by years of study
on the part of patient scientists. are
so amazing as to be classed with fairy
stories by those who are little acquaint-
ed with the wonders of Nature. White
pine blister rust is an instance. This
parasitic fungus is native 10 the Old
World, attacking the stone pine and
other native five-leaved pines of Eu-
rope. When extensive interest in
planting forest trees first began to de-
velop about score of years ago. white
pines imported from Germany. France
and Holland. brought this disease to
the United States. principally in 1908
and 1909.
The fungus cannot go directly from
one pine tree to another but first must
spend part of. its life on currant or
gooseberry leaves and in this stage II
has the power of spreading rapidly
and widely TO other currant and goose
berry bushes. The fungus then de-
velops another stage by which it is en-
abled to pass from the currant or
gooseberry bushes back to the pines.
There are some people who believe
we have been bringing in plants from

abroad for so many years that now we
have all of the pests to which plants
are heir. This is a mistake, in the
opinion of plant physicians who are
best qualified to know The Bureau
of Entomology. United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, has published de-
scriptions of over 5000 distinct insect
pests which are likely to be introduced
into this country and cause serious
loss.
Inspection of the importations of
foreign nursery stock has proved in
effectual because the eyesight of the
most competent inspector is not cap
able of discovering every insect or
plant disease on every plant. Many
of them. especially fungi, are hidden
under the bark and are entirely invis-
ible. The question what shall we
do about it?" has been answered cor
rectly by the Federal embargo. which
prohibits further importation of plants
from abroad except such as are specif-
icaliy sanctioned by the United States
Department of Agriculture.

tions, has given cause for alarm. The
Hessian fly, introduced from Europe in
Revolutionary times. causes an average
annual loss to the wheat crop of fifty
million dollars, and in some years the
loss from this one insect has exceeded
100 million dollars. The loss of fruit
due to the codling moth, together with
the money spent in controlling this
insect, costs the United States about 16
ported fruit insect. the San Jose scale,
entails a loss of at least 10 million
dollars annually.
An investigator was experimenting
in Massachusetts with two gypsy moths
imported in connection with an expert
ment in silk culture. Unfortunately
the door of the cage was accidentally
opened and the insects escaped. The
investigator imm ediately notified the
authorities of the danger. but no at
tention was paid to the warning. A
few years later the trees on a small
area were defoliated, but still no con-
Germ was manifested. However, the
next year. the insects became so nu-
merous that a large territory was in
vaded by them and the authorities at
last woke up. a fight was begun
which has lasted for years and today

lars in cash for applying control meas

it was for this that she was specially

In form and construction she was

Intended to meet the requirements of

Her length was fixed at 1874 feet

her sail plan is a light, American,

The Roosevelt was built solely of
