CITE STATE LAW ON WHITE
PINE BLISTER RUST HERE
1t Is Now Unlawful To Own Eth
er Currant or GOOseberry Bushes

The State Board of Agriculture has,
under authority of Chapter 391 of the
Acts of the General Assembly of
Maryland of 1916, Article PA of the
Code of Public General Laws, Section
Z, proclaimed rules and regulations
for the suppression of white pine bis
ter rust. These regulations provide
that mo person, firm, or corporation
shall possess, transport, plant, propa-
gate, sell or offer for sale any RIDES
(currants or gooseberries) plants,
roots, scions or cuttings of any kind
or variety within any white pine bis
ter rust control area, established I'M
der these rules and regulations or I'M
der any amendment thereof"
The regulations also provide for the
destruction of all wild and cultivated
gooseberry and currant bushes within
control areas, accordingg to H. E..
Yost, agent. The control areas are in
general as follows: All of Garrett
county west of Big Savage Mountain;
in Allegany county from Warrior
Mountain and Martins Mountain, east
to Sideling Hill Creek; the western
part of Washington county, Fort Fred
erick State park and several nurseries
in Montgomery, Prince Georges and
Baltimore counties.
The blister rust spreads from dis
eased white pine to gooseberries and
currants, then back to white pine and
not directly from one pine tree to an
other, Mr.. Yost explained. 1t is only
through the destruction of currant
and gooseberry bushes in the vicinity
of white pine that this disease can be
suppressed. Similar regulations have
been in force in other states for several
years.
Since 1888 the work Of destroying
wild and cultivated gooseberry and
currant bushes has been carried on
in seven counties in the State. Approx
imately one and one-half million wild
and cultivated gooseberries and cur
rants were destroyed over $4,000
acres. The work was done under the
direction of the State Department of
Forestry. The disease is found gen.
orally throughout Garrett county and
western Allegany county. Scattered
infections have been found in eastern
Allegany, Washington, Frederick and
Montgomery counties.
At this season of the year, the dis
ease appears on the pine as canker
on the branches or trunk with a swell
ing and yellow discoloration of the
bark. There is an orange-colored dust
frequently present. 1t is usually found
three or four nodes back of the end of
the branch. 1t appears as an orange
colored rust on the underside of the
leaves of gooseberries or currants in
the first half of the summer and
changes to gray color beginning
about July first to fifteenth.
1t would be appreciated if persons
who observe the above described con-
ditions on pine, gooseberry or currant
bushes would report it to the District
Forester at Cumberland or the State
Forester in Baltimore, Mr.. Yost con-
cluded.

The horse is staging a comeback
on the farm, according to claims
made by the Rochester Horse Import
ing Company, corporation recently
organized in Minnesota with a CAPT.
talization of 100000 and a stock of
breed horses valued at $43,5OO. The
company has made application to the
Securities Commission for the regis
tration of it's stock which is now I'M
der consideration by the commission.
In support of their application the
company states that during the de-
preston farmers had no cash for fuel
for motor equipment and as conse-
Quence there was gradual swing
back to the horse for power. The
small farmer is turning back to the
use of horses because 1t eliminates
the necessity of purchasing gasoline
for power: provides an outlet for oats,
grain and hay produced on the farm;
it is preferable to feed crops to his
horses rather than sell such crops
and buy gasoline: and the horse is
reliable and dependable at all times
and under all conditions.

OBSERVATIONS
BY Cong. ELMER J. RYAN

At a meeting of Representatives
from dairy farming districts held on
Tuesday evening, January %, about
seventy-five members of twenty-five
states were present.
A permanent Organization was
formed to meet at the call of the
chairman and it was unanimously de-
cided that this organization pledge
it's support to dairy farmers in CO.
operation with producers of other
farm commodities without thought to
partisan politics.
ginia was elected chairman and Hon
orable Francis d. Culkin Of New York
secretary. An interesting discussion
was carried on by the members pres
ent regarding the entire dairy indus
try and many plans were offered in
an endeavOr to gain SINE benefit,
through the new legislation which
will be presented, for the dairy farm
erS.
At the close of the meeting a resO-
luton was adopted embodying the fol-
lowing points:
G) That provisions should be in
cluded in the new farm act, now
called the Soil Conservation Act, to
protect the producers of dairy pro-
ducts by requiring that any land
taken out of production of other basic
crops shall not be used for pasture
or forage crops to increase production
of dairy products.

State Capitol News
BY A. l. HARRIS

AL Smiths speech at Dupont's (mu-
nitions) American Liberty League
was the subject of much discussion
the past week on the part of Capitol
Hill politicians. Its results also was
the subject of much speculation.
The Republicans were the ones to
applaud it. AL is now regular fell
low :. he has finally seen the light.
But to Democrats those who
used to love him for his liberalism
he has become plain turn
coat. He has deserted his old "palies"
and gone over to those who know how
to reward their public mouthpieces.
Somehow, Al Smith as the defender
of the upper crust, the flag waver,
the red menace" shouter, appears
iudicrous and srOtesque. That is why
his speech fell flat. 1t is not so easy
for him to replace the brown derby
with the silk top hat; the former per-
sonified the struggle of the common
man against the oppressive power of
wealth; the latter to the man on the
street means a sell out"
But since when has America be-
come the symbol of capitalism? Cap
italism rules in virtually all the cOun-
tries of the world. 1t is no different
in the United States than it is in Eng
land. Italy, Japan, and all other cap
italistic countries. There is nothing
in our history that should make us
the guardians of capitalism nor
should compel US to assume the re-
sponsibility for its sins. Those who

(2) That the Reciprocal Trade
Agreement Act be amended to provide
either that no further reductions shall
be permitted in the tariff structure
on dairy products or that all reciprO-
cal trade agreements shall be ratified
by the Senate and the House of Repre-
sentatives.
(3) That legislation should be en-
acted to permit truck drivers, or 9TH
ers who haul farmers milk to the
creamery to be allowed to deliver
checks and settlement sheets to the
farmers without violating the postal
statutes.
(4) That all of the present funds
authorized by Congress for the eradi-
cation of bovine diseases and for the
purchase Of dairy products for relief
distribution shall be continued and
such additional funds as may be nee
essary should be appropriated by the
Congress.
90 That the excise tax on foreign
fats and oils should be continued and
maintained and if there are any pro-
visions in the present law which tend
to make it unconstitutional, the law
should be so amended by the Congress
as to meet such constitutional objec-
lions.
(6) That legislation should be en-
acted to prohibit the imports Of dairy
products into the United States UNI
less such products have been pro-
duced by dairy herds under official
test for bovine tuberculosis. (Since
Federal and State Governments have
spent approximately $3OO,OOO,000 for
the eradication of tuberculosis in the
United States, there is no justifica-
ton for permitting imports which

There is some question now as to
whether the regular federal aid high
way program for the fiscal year be-
ginning next July 1 is going to ma
terialize as anticipated. This pro-
gram as originally planned at WASH
ington would provide Minnesota 49,
100000 of federal funds for construc-
ton on the primary trunk system.
The Legislature has authorized issu-
ance of more than 100000 in state
highway bonds to match the federal
money. Now some opposition to the
national federal aid program is being
expressed in Washington. If Congress
should not make the necessary appro-
priatiOn Minnesota will lose the 49,
100000 of federal funds and the $4,-
100000 state funds will not be spent
either.

Perhaps the best proof of the gains
made In restoration of farm prices is
found in official statistics showing
the pronounced price advances which
have occurred since the low point Of
the depression years, 1892 to 1888.
For instance, the average price Of
grains during 1885 was three per cent
above the base period of 1909 to 1914.
whereas, it was $50 below that level
in 1892 and $3.50 below the parity
