A NEW pest which threatens, possibly, to do
to the beech trees Of the United States,
especially the northern section. what the chest
nut blight did to the chestnut trees Of the West,
has been discovered in Maine by Department
of Agriculture specialists
The insect in question Is known IS the
European beech scale.
The disease is caused by . fungus, species
of nectria and there seems to be close rela-
tionship between its appearance and the ap-
pearance Of the beech scale. The scale Is
tiny insect which punctures the bark CT the
tree, after which, the tree specialists believe,
the disease can enter the tree and develop. the

The scale and the disease also occur near East

has been found on trees in several commun-
tiles near Boston, although no trace Of the

Alder a Useful Tree

THE alder, ornamental tree Of the stream
] edges, serves useful as well as ornamental
purposes. For one thing, nature provides tho
alder to line the edges Of streams to prevent
the banks of the streams breaking down into
the water, but it has other uses beneficial to
mankind.
The branches Of the alder serve to provide
the finest charcoal for the manufacture of gun
powder while the small branches and the bark
yield a substance Of value to the dye-making
industry.

when, at the end of a period Of pros
perity, there begin to be signs Of a de-
crease In sales. The industrialists know
perfectly well that when sales begin to
diminish it will be impossible to lower
the sales price correspondingly, for this
is really the rreducible factor of the
organization.
In Europe during this crisis we have
noted that concerns that are still pros
pering the most are those which are
taking steps to reduce their fixed
charges either because they are modest
ly planned or because their cost price
does not depend ON an orga anization
set up TO succeed only by mass produc-
ton. Handmade individual articles,
for example, are holding their own
better than things produced in great
quantities.

Mass production is, of course, a step

no intention of denying this. But it
leads to overproduction which, falling
IN a void, raises the cost price which

In geological times nature tried the
