RUST CYCLE
SEEN AT COUNTY FAIR

The life cycle of the white pine Bills
ter rust was shown most effectively in
the State Forest Service exhibit at
the Pine County fair this year. L.
B. Ritter. representing the State For
est Service and the United States De-
partment of Agriculture who are CO.
operating in the work to secure the
control of blister rust was in charge,
of the exhibit
Blister rust, says Mr.. Ritter, re-
quires two entirely different kinds of
plants to live on to complete it's life
cycle, the white pines and currants
or gooseberries. The disease organ
ism travels from plant to plant by
means of windblown spores. The dis
ease will travel over considerable dis
tances from infected white pine to
currants and gooseberries, but for
tunately the spread from these plants
to white pine occurs only over a short
distance.
Under ordinary forest conditions
white pine can be protected from
blister rust by the destruction of the
currants and gooseberries within 900
feet of white pine stand. The Eu-
ropean or cultivated black currant be-
cause of their extreme susceptibility
to the disease must be removed for
distances of one mile from white pine
stands. The state and federal govern
ment departments cooperating fur
nish a trained foreman, free of charge,
to work with and to supervise labor
furnished by the pine owner for find
ing and destroying wild currants and
gooseberries toward the control of
blister rust.

Mrs. Diana Langeslay, rs, and a
resident of the Sandstone community

Senator Borah of Idaho has again
succeeded in attracting attention in
the press on domestic and foreign af-
fairs. Unfortunately, he has had to
compete for public attention with
Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania,
who had nothing more to suggest than
a Federal dole for the unemployed. 1t
appears that the Progressives have so
many ideas for curing the depression
that they have to encroach upon each
other to get them before the public.
The Idaho Senator claims that the
Soviet is not responsible for the de-
preston and is again visualizing the
unlimited possibilities of trade with
Soviet Russia. He lays the whole
blame for existing conditions at the
door of capitalism. Economic experts
here who do not see eye to eye with
Mr.. Borah insist that free exchange
OF goods between the United States
and Russia would only result in bring
ing forced labor into sharp competi-
ton with free American labor.

Washington, August 19-Mid-sum-
season for predictions. Political and
business leaders gathering here these
days in clubs and hotels freely fore
cast on every conceivable subject from
the fate of the Federal Farm Board,
possibility of an extra session of Con-
gress, to ratification of the morator-
ium. Unemployment and the dole
however, seem to occupy first place in
all discussions.
Many suggestions and solutions for
unemployment have been advanced at
these unofficial meetings, but some
are obviously more in the nature of
an inquiry, seeking to determine if
the Administration really believes
unemployment will be as bad as pre-
dicted to whether scare" tactics are
being employed to bolster up relief
organizations to collect contributions.
However, the whole situation may be
summed up in few words-"what is
meant by "dole?" It is the consensus
of opinion among Democrats and Re-
publicans that If by dole" is meant
the handing out Of sums to people
who do not work. then a corporal's
guard could not be marshalled for it
in Congress, but If it is meant hand
ing out food and clothing. just as was
done last winter through organized
relief agencies, then everyone wants

HORTICULTURE
PARTY VISITS
Upwards of Eighty Inspect Hinckley
Gardens and ASkOv Nursery Tues
day EnrOute to Duluth.

One of the largest groups attend
ing a county tour entered Askov Tues
day when about 80 state floriculturists
visited Ferndale Nursery. Some OF
the leading horticulturists in the
state intermingled with other flower
and plant lovers forgot their daily &C.
equations long enough to meet and
form a caravan of many automobiles
from the Twin Cities on northward
trip Tuesday to Duluth where they
met in convention Tuesday evening,
Wednesday and Thursday. Enroute
they visited Pine county's nurseries,
the Minnesota Gardens, and Northern
Light Gardens at Hinckley and Fern
dale Nursery in Askov.
Those of the tour interviewed eX-
pressed themselves in wonder at what
they saw of nursery stocks raised here.
Afternoon lunch was furnished by
Ferndale Nursery and was served by
the ladies of the Askov Garden club
after which short talks by several
were heard including one of welcome
by Ludwig Mosb@k, founder of Fern
dale. The swapping of group pic
ture of Askov Garden club members
terminated the visit here and pas
sengers hustled into the waiting cars
which were to carry them northward

Rising Interest i'm County.
Flower growing and home beautifi-
cation is rapidly adding numbers to
their ranks in the county and a tour
of this kind tends to spur onward to
greater interest since it gives incen-
tive to the work. Pine City has its
flower shows and Askov has yearly
exhibits. Each year seems to add
some sort of club or organization to
the work of making the domestic en-
vironment more beautiful and COM
Portable and amid all this the one who
grows a lovely garden has a particu-
lar place to perform as seen by the
increasing interest in the various
communities.
