ures to be taken to combat the
dreaded white pine blister rust"
which, despite all precautions has
finally reached the great forests Of
the Pacific Northwest.
Originally introduced into the
northeastern States OF the United
States from Europe by the importa-
tion OF diseased white pine trees,
the disease has ravaged the forests
of New England, New York. Penn
sylvania, Wisconsin. Minnesota and
Michigan
Strict quarantine measures. which
were designed, by prohibiting the
importation of surrants and goose
berries, "hosts" of the germ OF the
rust" by banning the shipment Of
these berries from the east to States
west of the Mississippi Valley, TO re-
strict the spread of the disease, have
proved unavailing.
The disease. when II attacks a
young tree, rapidly causes its death.
In the case of older trees, the tree
may survive a few years, but its ulti-
mate death is inevitable.
According to the National Lum-
ber Manufacturers Association. the
presence of the disease in the North
estern forests menace timber worth

himself speaking OF things which he

touch life here and there.

PRESIDENT PUTS
SHOALS MATTER
UP To CONGRESS
Administration Officials Are
Willing and Anxious for
the House to Act With a
Free Hand.
ins Tie Associated Press,

Washington, June 13.-Prospects
for early action by the house on
proposed legislation for develop
ment of the governments projects
at Muscle Shoals, Ala. were
frightened today by authoritative
announcement from the White
House that administration officials
were willing and anxious for house
leaders to act on the matter with a
free hand.
President Harding, 1t was said,
has taken no position in opposition
or support of Henry Ford's pro-
posal, believing that its acceptance
or rejection by congress was ques-
ton for legislative decision only. AT
the same time, 1t was further ex-
planned the president realizes the
great possibilities for the national
good that might result by exploit
tation of the Alabama properties.
irrespective of the form such de-
velopment might take.
What action the house will take,
Representative Mondell, the repub-
lican leader announced would be
decided on conferences of majority
members and decision would be
formulated "in the near future"
Representative Garrett, Of Ten
nessee, acting democratic leader.
told his colleagues the republicans
would have an interesting time IL
they brought in the ship subsidy
bill and refused to give considera-
ton to the disposal of the Muscle
Shoals units which promised, II al
lowed further development, 10
produce cheap fertilizers for the
farmers.
Later an appeal to the repubh..
cans for early consideration or
Muscle Shoals legislation was made
by Representative Bankhead, DEM
ocrat, Alabama. All the great agrl-
cultural organizations of the coun-
try and the business organizations
OF the Mississippi valley, he said,
were vitality interested in the Ford
proposition and were insistent that
some final action be taken before
the end of the present session.
A nearer approach to termination
Of hearings on the various proposals
for Muscle Shoals was made today
by the senate agriculture commit
tee. Chairman Norris, of Nebraska,
called w. III. Waldo, consulting en-
gineer for the Tennessee River I'M
provement association. for final eX-
animation and later announced that
the committees public sessions
probably would be ended with the
appearance later this week Of Major
