Progress of Work
In Fighting White
Pine Blister Rust

w. o. Frost, state agent for white
pine blister rust coStrol. said We'd
nesday that reports are now in his
hands from the county agents in
charge of the work this season in
York. Cumberland, Oford. Andres
coggin, Sagadahoc and Kennebec
counties, showing the progress made
in this work during the month of
August.
-Four hundred and forty eight
pine owners have cooeprated with
the State department in tradicating
over a million and a Quarter of wild
cufTant bushes and several thousand
cult ted currant goOseberry bushes
in these counties said Mr., Frost.
This year cultivated red currants,
which as a rule are but lightly in
fected, show signs of heavy infection,
and have already caused a large
spore spread to nearby pines. A good
example of what blister rust can do
to growing pines is to be seen in the
town of Freeport on property owned
by Carleton Grover Here we find
pine trees of all sizes, from small
trees up to nearly two feet in diam
eter. dying from the effects of the
disease. Anyone who is at all skep-
teal as to the damage done by bis
ter rust should inspect a plot of this
kind" said Mr.. Frost, and added, 1T
is not necessary to go outside of the
city limits of Augusta Ito find speci-
MEMS of trees injured by blister rust.
We wanted some specimens to use
for exhibits at Springfield, and found
plenty right here in the city, trees
dead and dying, in each instance the
disease caused by somebody's care
lessneSs in handling currant and
goOseberry bushes. This is the same
condition that exists all over south
ern Maine, and it is time to wake up

that is poor foot ball when teams are
about even in strength.
Warmers scheme was to return
