BLISTER RUST A MENACE
TO WHITE PINE IN STATE
Work Being Done In County To
Prevent Spread of Disease

The white pines in Western Mary
land and surrounding country are SER
iously threatened by blister rust and
unless protected will in all probability
meet the same fate that the chestnut
trees have in the past. Outbreaks of
white pine blister rust have been dis
covered in Tucker and Randolph coun-
ties, West Virginia; Fayette and Som
erset counties, Pennsylvania, and in
Allegany and Washington counties,
Maryland.
The rust is a fungus disease which
lives alternately on gooseberries or
currants and white pine. The disease
will travel from one gooseberry or
currant to another but not from one
white pine to another. 1t travels up to
100 miles from white pine to goose
berry or currant, but under average
forest conditions less than 900 feet
from gooseberry or currant to white
pine. The control of the disease,
therefore, consists of digging out and
killing all gooseberries or currants
within 900 feet of the white pine.
The U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture and the State Forestry Depart
ment are cooperating in its control.
This work was started in Garrett coun-
ty recently and will be continued I'M
til the leaf fall makes it necessary to
suspend control operations until
next spring when the leaves are again
present. The work will then be re-
sumed in Garrett and Allegany coun-
ties. The control work has been COM
pleted at Harrington Manor on the
State Forest and on the farms of
Messrs. Kelly and Hughes near Crel-
lin. This work is being done by two
crews of eight men each under the
foremanship of Ray Porter, of Oak
land, and Lawton o. Friend, of Swan
ton. Where the area of white pine
is large enough to justify 1t the work
will be done by local labor employed
by the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture under the provision of the NRA
at no charge to the land owner.
All owners of white pine in Mary
land, regardless of the number of
trees owned are urged to get in touch
with H. E. Yost, blister rust control
agent at Grantsville, their county ag-
ricultural agent, any member of the
State Forestry Department, or write
direct to the U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture, Bureau of Plant Industry,
Washington, D. c., for information
concerning the control of this disease.

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS

President Roosevelt has made it ex-
tremely plain that he does not object
to criticism, but one gathers that he
has not been able to impress that
point of view on all his subordinates.
Dick Thompson, editor of the. yTalla-
hassee Tribune, for example, has just
gone through an unhappy experience
with a representative of the Depart
ment of Labor. The Tribune had spok-
en- out against the unionization of a
cotton mill in it's community. Its ed
itor was thereupon threatened by the
federal agent, named Dunnegan, who
held that the Tribune had violated the
provisions of the NRA, forbade any
further publications of such opinions
and indicated that the United States
attorney at Montgomery might be
called on for action. Mr. Thompson's
resentment was expressed in an edi-
torial, part of which runs as follows:
"No bureaucratic appointee can,
with authority, tell any newspaper ed
itor, from the biggest daily paper
down to the smallest weekly paper,
that which he can say and that which
he cannot say. Mr.. Dunnegan came
to Tallahassee as representative of
the United States Department of La
Dor and his actions here are under
stood by this paper to be official -ac-
tons, backed up by the department
which he represents. We say that the
United States Constitution has not
been changed and that it is more i'm
portant than the empty threats of
Mr.. Dunnegan. * The editor of
this paper will express his views and
opinions through this paper as long as
the Constitution Of the United States
grants free press and free speech.
- Now, Mr.. Dunnegan, it is your
move"
The position taken by the Tribune is
SO impregnable that one understands
why the Montgomery Advertiser
should say: "There is not respec-
table newspaper in this country which
will not applaud it's declaration of
principle and purpose, however sharp
ly many newspapers will disagree as
to whether the Tallahassee mills
should be unionized. But something
even dearer than unionism is being in
volved. The last refuge Of human dig
nifty in this country is in the princi-
pie that conscience must be free"

This is the second of series of five
articles describing methods of gas
economy in the home.
Gas Economy in Cooking
Gas users can frequently effect ma
terial savings in the cost of gas for
cooking if they follow these sugges-
tions for economy by gas company
service departments.
Unclean burners are a source of gas
waste. They should be cleaned fire.
quently with stiff, wire brush. About
twice a year they should be removed
and boiled in a solution composed of
one tablespoonful Of sal soda to each
quart of water.
While there should be free circula-
ton of air in the kitchen to provide
ample oxygen for the flame, strong
drafts blow the fire aside and much
heat value is lost.
A cooking fame should just touch
and spread out slightly on the bottom
of the utensil. A flame which ticks up
around the sides is wasting gas. If
it is properly adjusted it will not
smoke surfaces with which it comes
in contact.
AS in other gas appliances, the fire
should burn with a steady blue flame.
Too much air causes the flame to
sputter. Too little creates a yellow
tip to the flame. Either condition
wastes gas. If difficulty is expert
enced in obtaining a proper flame the
gas company service department
should be consulted.
Do not light the gas until food is
ready to place over the burner. Turn
gas off before removing the utensile
from the fire.
Use covered utensile whenever pos
sible.
Reduce the sizs of the flame when
food starts to cook.
Place food over the simmer burner
as soon as it comes to a boil. Less
heat is required to Keep it at the
boiling point.
Do not use larger burner than is
necessary. If your stove has a sim
mer burner you will find it large
enough for many cooking operations
and to warm small quantities Of food.
In spite of alkprecautions, more gas
will be used in winter than in summer
because the, starting temperature of
the food to be heated is much lower
and more warm meals are prepared.
Lower temperature, of surrounding air
also increases winter gas consump-
ton. I
