Combating the Chestnut Blight 



The Forest Service, Washington. D. C, has written to the respective 

 state entomologists of Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, 

 West Virginia, and .\labama, pointing out the danger from the chestnut 

 blight and urging them to declare quarantines against the importation of 

 chestnut nursery stock from other states, as a means to curb the disease. 

 Under Kentucky's laws, the state entomologist has no authority to declare 

 a quarantine ; but it has been pointed out that the governor may have 

 police power to do so. The stands of chestnut timber in the southern 

 Appalachians are threatened with extinction by the bark blight.
