44 EXPERIMENT STATION. [Jan. 



This disease on tlie currant can undoubtedly be eradicated by 

 some method of spraying, but if not, it may be necessary to de- 

 stroy all the black currants in the State, as they are not of great 

 economic importance. The white pine blister rust is being care- 

 fully looked after by Dr. H. T. Fernald, State Insjiector of 

 Nurseries.
