Of white pines, white pine blister
rust never was and never will be
brought about by an insect.
"a reward of $1,000 has been Of
fered by the Conservation Commits
sion of New York State to any one
who will prove that white pine bis
ter rust Is not spread through cur
rant and gooseberry bushes.
1.-The Maine Forestry Department
and the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture through the Bureau of Plant
Industry are conducting an education
al campaign to teach, the public, es-
pecially white pine owners. how to
control this disease. Such an err
roneous article as appeared in this
Boston newspaper is very apt to
create a wrong impression in regard
to the proper control of the methods
of this pest.
1.-THE rust is rampant throughout
the white pine belt of the state, es-
pecially among the young growth,
which if allowed to mature, depend
ing upon the protection given 1t
from the blister rust, may once more
place Maine at the head of the white
pine producing states.
1.-THE white pine blister rust can
not spread from pine to pine, but is
spread to other pine trees by going
from pine to currant and gooseberry
bushes and then in turn to other
pines. If these currant and goose
berry bushes are removed, more pines
cannot become infected"

of Maine to convey to the press of the
state the news that the International
Congress of Cowboys and Cowgirls,
(which was to have been held in Sc
attic this month";" has been postponed
to n later and unfixed date.
Governor Baxter IS urged to Sc,
cure wide publication Of this inform
alton. ''to prevent working a hard
ship upon any veteran citizen. retired
cattleman and cowboy under your
government who intended taking the
trip"
The request is an impressive ap-
pearing document bearing an i'm
mense gold seal of the Fraternal Or
der of Cow Punchers, Supreme Vigil
lance Council, as we'll as the names
of the Supreme Eigilant Cow Punch
er. the Supreme Ranger and Scout,

Supreme Dauntless Immigrant, the
Supreme Pony Express Rider. the
Supreme Exploring Frontiersman. the
Supreme Conquering Chaplain, the

The press of Maine is notified of
the postponement of the Congress by
the following letter. dated Seattle,
Wash, from Col. Emory Howell. su-
preme vigilant director Of the organ
ization:
1--WE are informed that number of
veteran cattlemen and cowboys, who
now reside in your state, intended
visiting the International Congress OF
Cowboys and Girls which was to nave
been held i'm Seattle this month.
"On account of the large number OF

Order of Cowboys. the only. therefore
the largest organization of COWBOYS
in the world: and was for the pur-
pose of organizing Cowboy Sports
and establishing rules and regula-
tions, in like manner. as organized
baseball or fighting. 1t has created
keen interest among many we do not
know.
"Will you kindly convey this in
formation of postponment to the
press of your state, to prevent work
ing q hardship upon any veteran citi-
zen, retired cattleman and cowboy un-
der your government who intended

Cannot Control
Pine Blister Rust
By Spraying from
Planes, Says Frost

w. o. Frost. assistant pathologist
in charge of the blister rust control
in Maine, in an interview Tuesday,
makes exceptions to the statement in
a Boston newspaper that airplanes
are to be used for war on the rust.
such an idea is absurd and James
w. Cassidy. the Bangor cumberland
operator, whose name was mentioned
in this connection, certainly must
have been misquoted, in the news
paper article the first of the month"
continued Mr.. Frost.
1T is preposterous for the reason
that blister rust is not caused by an
insect which might be controlled by
spraying or busting from an air.

be controlled in this way.
TT cannot be controlled because
it is low form of plant life that is
parasitic on the plant working in the
inner bark. Furthermore, it is i'm
practicable because IL is also
parasitic on all varieties of the ribes
family, that is, currant and goose
berry bushes.
Federal experiments have proved
that even the spraying of the cur
rant and goeseberry bushes does not
check the spresd of the disease. The
only method of control of extermi-

moval of the bushes within 900 feet
