White Pine Blister Rust
(How to recognize and control this
dangerous disease af the white pine,
by W. R Haddow.)
Owners of white pine, the lumber-
man, the 'Government and indeed the
public generally, are interested in the
presentation and 'perpetration of the
white pine, the most valuable of coni-
fers. The danger that threatens this
tree through the spread df 'blister rust
tsease should, be known to ap, and
he means of comlbatting it .effectivell•
hould be understood and made avail-
ble to those interested.
The blister rust is a fungus which
lives on the white pine and also on
currant and goosebenry hushes, es e-
cially the common blaok curra it,
Once established on the pine, the fun-
gus lives there perennially, until the
time it kills the tree. But it cannot
spread from pine to pine, having first
to. pass to the cunrati t, 'from which
source only it is able to return to thc
pine. Such a ,peculiar and intereo
life , cycle is llot uncommon a m ong
rust fungi, and is related to physiolo-
gical ,changes which 't ake place der-'
Ing the course of life. Fortunately its

At last the story of Chicago—and the
cow that made history
Coming—THE JOY OF DIVING
existence .fa,cilitates in this instance
the ,control ,Of the disease in the woods.
Blister rust is most easily :found on
pine in the''Sgring, the fungus grows
in the bark of the branches or trunk
for a year or more causing at first;
only a slight discoloration and swell-
ing of the parts invaded. After a time
it fruits, most 'frequently in the Spring
or early Summer. The fructifications
are in the form Of 'blisters, pinkish or
yellowish in color and a quarter of an
inch or more in diameter. These blis-
ters lbreak through the bark. and are
often accompanied by a considerable
flow of resin. At •first they are smooth
and rather tough, but 'when fully ripe
their ,covering membnane breaks and
the blisters have a powdery appear-
ance. At this time, if the !branch is
shaken, a yellowish spare cloud ean
be seen dispersing from the cankered
part. Blister rust .cankers grow from
year to year, causing the death of the
distal part of the 'branch on which
they are borne, and reaching finally
the Munk of the tree, which is ulti-
mately girdled..
The yellowish cloud referred' to
above is composed of countless 'fun-
gus spores of microscopic size—which
are 'carried by the wind for long.dis-
tattees. These spores are quite 'unable
to reinfect the pine, hut if one should
•cenne to rest on a currant leaf, it ger-
minates and grows into the leaf. In
time the !fungus 'fruits en the 'currant,
producing at first ,spores which ;spread
the oust only among the currant bush-
es. A little later, other spores are 'dis-
persed from infected cunrant leaves
which are carried by the wind and•if
deposited on the pine, will, under fav-
ourable 'circumstances, infect the tree.
Although 'the mat can travel many
miles from pine to currant, it is able
to spread only a comparatively ,short
distance 'front currant to pine. Since
it cannot pass .froni pine to pine, the
infection of trees can be prevented lby
destroying currant and gooseberry
bushes within infecting range of :61e
pine. Wherever the 'pine is highly val-
ued, the black .currant, which is a par-
ticularly dangerous plant, should not
be grown. It has 'been found that
black- currant bushes within a mile of
white pine, present a danger to the
trees. Thus in pine growing districts,
co-operation of many individuals may
be necessary 'to save the trees.
Local authorities can render a valu-
able public service, if in 'finding pub-
lic ,opinion 'favourable to the preserva-
tion of the pine, they define 'protec-
tion zones and prohibit the cultivation
of the black .currant therein.
Within the pine woods it is also ne-
cessary 'b suppress the 'wild currants
and gooseberries. This can be done
most readily in the Spring when the
plants are in early leaf. The ;bushes
are uprooted by hand and suspended
from 'branches or hushes where they
vvill dry out and die. No more useful
work can be found, and .for the con-
tinued welfare of the pine,woods, such
action is absolutely ,neces'sary.
