BLISTER RUST.
CIV. o. Frost, State Forestry De-
partment.)

Too few Maine people realize or
appreciate the great asset white pine
mas been and still is to the State of
Maine. For a number of years Maine
has held third place in the cut of
white pine by states, cutting one
sixth of all white pine lumber manu-
featured in the United States. In
1919 the cut was nearly 225, 100000
feet. When you consider that white
pine numbering has been going on in
Maine nearly 800 years, and that the
State still furnishes one-sixth of the
pine lumber of the United States, you
, must realize that Maine is well
named the pine Tree State.''
To-day Maine has approximately
100000 acres of pine lands, ,5OO,-
600 acres of which is immature
growth. We find reproduction com
ing in throughout the southern half
OF the State. 1t is this young growth
I that the farmer, laborer, mill owner,
/ and manufacturer must look to in
the near future. Whether it ever
reaches timber size depends upon
! what action the owners take in pro-
tecting their growth from white pine

White pine blister rust is a Euro

in its native country. 1t has made

| bushes. In order for the disease to
! spread there must be currant and
! gooseberry bushes within 900 feet of
pine trees. One tree cannot spread
the disease to another but can cause
| infection on currant or gOoSeberry

! disease to pine trees. Because of the
| fact that wild currant and goose
berry bushes are common we find
blister rust on pines in every town in
/ the southern half of the State.
Surveys show that the disease is
| spreading very rapidly Seven tc
eleven per cent. of all pine trees in
certain sections of the State have
, blister rust. Sample quarter acre
plots show even greater percentage
of infection, running from 25 to SO
per cent. Once a pine tree becomes
infected, it surely dies. Therefore
it is but a question of time before the
pine area of Maine will become sc
badly infected that pine reproduction
will never reach a timber size

Death Of Mrs. F. E. Barker.

Death of Mrs. F. E. Barker.
Mrs. F. E. Barker, who had been
very i'll and taken to Runstrom's
hospital at Ironwood almost two
weeks prior, died at els Friday
morning, May A. Her husband and
sister, Elleda Bentsen, were at her
bedside when she passed away, also
Rev. j. E. Cheek, Methodist minister
of Minocqua. Everything was
done for her that human skill could
and she suffered terribly.
Mrs. Barker was born in Norway
August q, 1883. She came to this
country at the age of three and one
half years. She lived at Wittenberg,
Wis, and was confirmed there, later
moving with her parents to Crandon,
where she married F.. E. Barker on
June 10, 1907 In 1912 they moved
to Mercer. She was good, kind
neighbor and devoted wife and
mother. She leaves to mourn her
sudden death her husband, parents,
two children, Everett and Lavaine, a
sister, Elleda Bentsen, and host of
friends and distant relatives.
She was buried from the church
here on Tuesday at 1 80 P NJ, Rev.
Cheek conducting the services. 1T
was one of the largest funerals ever
held here. All places of business
and the school were closed during the
funeral. The floral offerings by
kind friends and relatives were the
most beautiful ever seen here.
Those who attended the funeral
from out of town were Mrs. Clarence
Barker and son Ben of Shawano,
VIM. Barker of Amigo, Chas. Barker
of Wittenberg, Mrs. H. Bublitz of
Birnamwood, Mrs. Chas. Mead of

or tries to keep a fair-sized balance
in the bank. there is always more
money on hand than is needed to pay
those who are drawing against their
deposits. The law requires that the
bank keep a certain percentage OF
the deposits in its vaults in actual
cash. This cash is called the banks
reserve. At the end Of the first
month, let us say, the bank had in its
safe, as reserve, about twenty thou
sand dollars. There should always
be enough cash held by the bank to
take care Of the normal amounts of
money needed by its customers.
How Banks Earn Money
what does the bank do with its
capital stock and with the balance OF
deposits in excess of the cash held as
its reserve? Part OF the money from
the sale OF shares Of capital stock, Of
course, had to be spent for the bank
building and its equipment, which
cost about twenty thousand dollars.
The balance OF the capital stock
would be thirty thousand dollars.
The balance OF the deposits in excess
Of the reserve at the end Of the first
month was eighty thousand dollars
This was one hundred and ten thou
