IMPROVEMENT OF FORESTS 



Providence Journal 

 The question of more and better highways in 

 the Adirondack region is of particular interest 

 to the motor fraternity. Touring autoists are 

 especially interested in having the existing roads 

 improved and new ones developed, suggests 

 Eugene M. Travis, New York State Comptroller. 

 The welfare of these travellers is intimately 

 bound up with the increased accessibility for 

 tourists, campers and settlers of the entire Adi- 

 rondacks. .he work of protecting the forests 

 against fire is greatly facilitated by improved 

 roads, enabling the prompt mobilization of men 

 to fight fire. 



OREGON TREES DISEASED . 



Portland Oregonian 

 Fir trees along the Ojlumbia River Highway, 

 which are turning brown, as though seared by 

 fire, according to foresters of the United States 

 Forest Service, are not dying, but are merely 

 suffering from a Spring disease something like 

 the grippe, which every spring or two attacks 

 Douglas fir growing where it is subject to the 

 dry, cold east winds, which sweep down the 

 Columbia River Gorge. This rather unique local 

 disease of the Douglas fir was recently named 

 "parch blight" by Thornton T. Munger of the 

 Portland forestry office.
