Potato Yeast. 



Save potato water from boiled potatoes, about two 

 quarts; one cup sugar, one yeast cake (any kind), let 

 stand twenty-four hours. Add three quarts potato wa- 

 ter, one-half cup sugar; use four quarts for bread; 

 leave one quart for starter. Add potato water and su- 

 j-rar as needed. 



THE WHITE PINE BLISTER RUST 



THE campaign against the white pine blister rust 

 will be continued this summer. As in the past 

 t wo years, part of the expense will be borne by the fed- 

 eral government and part by the state. The state en- 

 tomologist will have charge of the nursery inspection 

 and of following up all the leads from the nurseries, 

 the plant pathologist will have charge of all of the 

 scouting in new territory and in the area covered last 

 year. The forestry division of the university will en- 

 deavor to solve the problems of forest management aris- 

 ing in connection with the infections in native timber. 

 The exact extent to which the infection has spread 

 in this state is not yet known. So far it has been found 

 only in a comparatively narrow strip along the eastern 

 border of the state. Should a thorough search this sum- 

 mer fail to discover it anywhere outside of this area 

 and adequate means can be found of preventing its 

 spread, there would be a pretty good chance of stamp- 

 ing it out in this state. If it is found beyond the pres- 

 ent known limits, the chances of controlling it will be 

 much less.
