Blister Rust Control
Set For Discussion

Plans for control of white pine
blister rust in this county will be
discussed today at Harrisonburg,
Va.
w. A. c. Irwin, district forester,
and II. c. Buckingham, state for
ester. arc in attendance.
For about 10 years the battle
against the rust has been wagcd
on many acres of statc-owned
woodland in this county. The pro-
gram is now branching out to pri-
vatcly owned land. At the end of
ten years forestry officials hope to
have the rust under control on
some 10000 acres of private land.
Mr.. Irwin explained that disease
spores are not spread from tree to
tree but from tree to gooSeberry
or currant species and then to
tree. With eradication of berry
bushes the spread of the disease
can be brought under control. The
plan is to eliminate the bushes
within 300 yards of the vicinity of
pune trees. In the past the forestry
personnel have effectively elm
mated such bushes on statc-owncd
land.
