White and sugar pine timber in this coun try is worth about $550^000,000, and the rust disease is now threatening these valuable trees in New Eng land, Npw York, New' Jersey, Penn sylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minn esota, Idaho, Wisconsin, and Oreg on. Blister rust does not go from one tree to another but spreads from infeeted white pine to currant or gooseberry bushes, and from them to the trees. From late June until the leaves of the currant or gooseberry drop, growths of the fungus develop, these growths producing the summer and fall spores wdiich are carried by the wind and infect the trees. The range of infection is limited to short distances, making it possible to con trol blister rust locally by destroying all the currant and gooseberry bush es in the vicinity of white pines. The European or cultivated black currant is particularly susceptible to the dis ease and is most dangerous to the drine. For complete control, every currant and gooseberry bush should be pulled up, and sprouting should be prevented by removing the cr'own and large roots.
