WHITE PINES MAY
Be SAVED BY men
Drive in Progress to Check
Spread OF Blister
Rust

New Haven, April \30---State and
national forces are making an in
tensive drive this spring to checl;
the spread of white pine blister
rust which threatens destruction of
a Connecticut resource valued at
eleven and one half million dol
lars. Last winter the CWA made
survey of the white pine area
of the state and located 37,S79 cur
rant and gooseberry bushes
(Ribes) within injecting distance
of white pines. Now Mr. J. e. Riley
Jr, of the Conn Agricultural Elk
pertinent Station, is using FERA
men to go out and uproot all Of
tending bushes. At the same time
about 200 men from CCC camps
will scour the countryside looking
for wild RIDES.
Mr. Riley points out that all
eradication work will be done as
far as possible with the cooper
alton Of the owners of bushes. The
state law outlaws the European
black currant Internationally. 1t
also gives the experiment station
deputy power to destroy all RIDES
within 900 feet Of white pine
stands If found infected. In towns
where quarantine has been estab-
lished. all bushes may be uproot-
ed. Why are these measures nee
essary? e@
White pine IL commercially the
most valuable wood in Connect
cut, says Mr. Riley. To-day the
estimate on standing timber with
reasonable allowance for reproduc-
tive expectation, is about $11,4S4,-

tire resource just as effectively as,

Great Lakes Ready
For Big Water Year
Seventy Million Ton Season Is Forecast for Fright
Carrier-Cargo Boats Being Repaired
BY HENRY b. HENSON
United Press Stan Correspondent

Cleveland, Ohio, (UP)-The
Great Lakes soon will TEEN with
activity again as hundreds of long,
ungainly coal and iron ore car
riers begin the lake shipping sea-
son as "Argosies Of Recovery.
Sailing men are happy, and
enyision a season which will see
and iron ore moved from port to
port.
The big shipping companies are
rushing to completion the task Of
repairing and QUILTING the big
cargo boats, which have been
locked In harbor ice through the
Few. Have Sailed
A few of the smaller boats all
ready have ventured out upon the
lakes with cargoes of automobiles
anrd auto parts. They encountered
no little difficulty with ice floes,
however, and the shipping season
will not begin, in earnest until
about May 1, when ice leaves the
Sault Ste Marie canal and the
st Mary's river.
From mines near Duluth, Su-
perior and Marquette, iron ore is
loaded on freighters and proceeds
to Cleveland, Lorain and Ashta-
bula, Ohio, where 1t is trans
ferred to rail carriers and shipped
to the big steel mills at Pitts
burgh, Youngstown, Steubenville,
Weirton and Wheeling.
Similarly, coal. dug from West
Virginia, Pennsylvania and Ohio
is shipped to lake ports by rail
and loaded on lake boats and
shipped to the northwest.
Big Shipping Season
Shipping men confidently look
forward to a shipping season of
10, 90 1000 tons-about equally di-
vided between lyon ore and coal.
With the automobile industry pac-
ing economic recovery in these
parts, the resultant demand for
steel-lifebloods of lake shipping
Is putting lake men in an opti-
mistic mood. This season Is ex-
pccted to be by far the best since
the peak year Of 1929.
Shippers, who during depres-
sion worked as mates and even as
ordinary seamen, took the slump
philosophically. So did engineers
who toiled as oilers and coal pass
ers. Now they are looking for
ward to better times. Shippers
are going back to their bridges
and engineers to their engines.
Shore activity Is increasing.
also, and workmen are hard at
the task of preparing the huge
power leaders which can dump
ton after ton of ore into the huge
holds of the lake vessels.
