and tell how the people in that region 

 can help safeguard the forests. 



This pest was brounlit over from Europe 

 about 2a years ago ami is now established 

 beyond hope of eradication in New Eng- 

 land, New York and the Lake States. 

 Lately it was discovered in western Brit- 

 ish Columbia and the Puget Sound region 

 of Washington. 



The disease attacks all white pines, i. e., 

 those that bear their needles in bundles of 

 five, but it can do so only after it has 

 grown on the leaves of wild or cultivated 

 currants or gooseberries. It cannot go 

 directly from pine to pine. The rust can 

 be controlled by destroying the currant 

 and gooseberry bushes growing near white 

 pines. The cultivated black currant is the 

 most dangerous because it takes the dis- 

 ease more severely than the others and 

 spreads it more rapidly. Its immediate 

 destruction is the most effective means of 

 preventing the blister rust from gaining 

 a foothold in the western pine forests. 



Federal quarantines have been established 

 supplementing state quarantines, to prevent 

 the introduction and spread of the blister 

 rust in uninfected regions. They prohibit 

 the movement of five-needle pine, currant 

 and gooseberry plants into the United 

 States from any foreign country, includ- 

 ing Canada ; prohibit the.ir movement from 

 all states east of and including Minnesota, 

 Iowa, Missouri, .\rkansas and Louisiana, 

 to points outside the quarantined area ; 

 and prohibit their movement out of that 

 part of Washington west of the summit of 

 the Cascade Mountains. 



The colored illustrations in the circular 

 show the natural appearance of the dis- 

 ease. Persons who live in five-needle pine 

 regions are urged to get the circular from 

 the Department of .Agriculture, Washing- 

 ton, D. C, and become familiar with the 

 principal characteristics of the blister rust. 

 Everyone can materially aid in the fight 

 against this disease by examining the under 

 side of the leaves of all currants and 

 gooseberries in gardens, especially culti- 

 vated black currants and any native or 

 planted white pines in your community. 

 If the plants appear to be diseased in a 

 manner similar to ^he colored illustrations 

 in the circular, send the diseased material 

 to the State Nursery Inspector or the, -Ag- 

 ricultural E.xpcrimciit Station in your 

 state, together with your name and ad- 

 dress and particulars as to the location 

 of the plants. 



Each person has some responsibility in 

 protecting the extensive forest resources of 

 the west which contain about three-fourths 

 of the white pine in the country, approxi- 

 mately 57 billion board feet. Nearly 25 

 per cent of the western white pine stump- 

 age and 40 per cent of the sugar pine 

 stumpage belongs to the Federal govern- 

 ment. These pines arc the most valuable 

 forest trees in the west. 



NELSON BROWN DECORATED 



Word has been received at the New 

 York State College of F"orcstry that Nel- 

 son C. Brown, head of the Utilization De- 

 partment has been decorated by the Kin^ 

 of Italy for his services in connection 

 with forestry work during the war. 



Professor Brown left the college faculty 

 in 1917 to investigate the effects of the 

 war upon the lumber trade in Europe for 

 the Department of Commerce, .\fter a 

 tour of all the principal lumber producing 

 sections of the United States and Canada 

 he spent approximately two ye^ars in Eu- 

 rope along the fighting fronts. He investi- 

 gated forestry practice and the lumber 

 industry in Great Britain, France, Belgium. 

 Spain, Italy, Greece, Serbia and portions 

 of northern .Africa, and later Poland, 

 Russia, .Austria and Hungary. He also 

 purchased lumber, railroad ties and other 

 supplies in Spain for the United States 

 army. 



He then engaged in the domestic and 

 foreign luinber trade for the .American 

 Woods Export -Association. He has also 

 been closely affiliated with the American 

 Lumber Sales Company wtiich took over 

 the contract for the disposal of 135,000,000 

 feet of the surplus stock of the United 

 States Shipping Board. 



Professor Brown spent the winter of 

 1920 as consulting adviser to the Republic 

 of Czecho Slovakia on the management 

 and exploitation of the Hapsburg crown 

 forests and returned as head of the Utili- 

 zation department on the Forestry faculty 

 last year. Professor Brown was graduated 

 from the Yale, Forest School in 1908. He 

 is a director of the .American Forestry 

 -Association. 



FORESTRY AT PENNSYLVANIA 

 STATE COLLEGE 



-A large number of courses in forestry 

 and lumbering will be given at the Penn- 

 sylvania State College during the coming 

 school year, according to an announcement 

 made recently at that institution. Under 

 the Department of Forestry in the School 

 of .Agriculture, special courses will be 

 given in silviculture, the care and protec- 

 tion of forests, making of timber to secure 

 reproduction and to improve the growth 

 and condition of the forest, logging and 

 milling, forest law, forest economics and 

 history, forest surveying, mensuration, 

 seeding and planting, wood technology, ad- 

 ministration, forest products, uses of lum- 

 ber, marketing, tree identification and sea- 

 soning of wood. 



During the last quarter of the senior year 

 the lumber class will camp on a large tim- 

 ber tract in the South for the purpose of 

 making plans. The freshman class will also 

 attend a summer camp in The State Forest 

 Preserves.
