WEST IS MENACED
BYBL|STERRUST
Great Sugar Pine Forests in
Oregon and California
Are Threatened.

The blister rust, which has
wrought such havoc with the white
pines of the East, is less than two
hundred miles from the great sugar
pine forests of Oregon and Califor-
mia. The Western white pine and
sugar pine are among the most val
liable timber trees OF the West. and
the Federal Government itself, a
large owner of these species i'll the
National forests, is vitality concern
ed i'll their preservation from the
pest.
$. r. Detwiler, in charge of the
office of blister rust control. De
partment of Agriculture. stated
that recent advances of the rust,
while greatly TO be regretted. were
inovita BILE. The continued spread Of
the disease is to be expected until II
reaches the limits of white pine
growth, but while It cannot be pre-
vented it can be materially slowed
down.
Curiously enough. this parasitic
menace OF the white pine is cradi-
Gated by uprooting Currant and
gooseberry bushes in the neiShhor-
hood of the pine timber stands. The
blister rust control agents, with the
assistance of State and county Off
Gals as well as the general public.
are clearing about million acres OF
black currants q. year i'll the forest
regions of the Northeast.
The blister rust first reached the
West at Vancouver. British Colum
bia, in shipment of pine seedlings
from France. 1t was discovered in
Washington and British Columbia in
1921 and In Oregon in 1922. BY 1924
a program was under way to keep II
under control, i'll which Federal and
State officials as we'll as private in
tereStS were co-ordinated.
The vast acreage of Western for
ests, running into millionS. made the
problem much more difficult than in
the East. The first step was to put
into effect a rigid quarantine to pro
hibit any of the host plants of the
rust being shipped into the West.
Next a. systematic effort was made to
completely eradicate the black currant
from the States of Montana, Washing
ton, Idaho, Oregon and California
Through this foresight it is hoped TO
cut down the chances of infection
Already the end of 1925 has seen
Idaho and Oregon practically clear Of
dangerous black currants.
