Chestnut Bark Disease 
State Forester Rane, thoroughly 
alive to the importance of safe- 
guarding, as far as_ possible, the 
chestnut growth of Massachusetts, ’ 
regarded as one of our most valu- 
able trees for commercial purposes, 
has recently caused thorough exam- 
ination of chestnut trees to be made 
throughout the State in order to de- 
termine to what extent the chestnut 
bark disease exists in Massachu- 
setts. This dangerous disease has 
already caused irreparable damage 
to the chestnut growth in several 
States, notably New York, New Jer- 
sey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut, 
and threatens destruction to the 
growth in our own State, unless 
prompt and effective measures are 
taken to check it. 
The chestnut bark blight has been 
found in seventy Massachusetts 
towns. The disease appears to be 
more general in the south-central 
and southwestern parts of the 
State. This perhaps, due to the fact, 
that these portions are nearer to the 
badly infested regions in New York 
and Connecticut, and possibly also 
because on the whole more chestnut 
occurs here than in other parts of 
the State. In the southern part of 
Berkshire County the disease has al- 
ready done a great deal of damage. 
There is every reason to believe that . 
if the disease continues to spread as 
it has within the last half dozen 
years, it will ultimately cause tre- 
mendous havoe in Massachusetts. 
A bulletin recently issued by 
State Forester Rane treating of the 
disease and its remedy with illustra- 
tions will be mailed upon request to 
citizens of Massachusetts. Another 
bulletin discussing the entire situa- 
tion, giving the method of control in 
detail, and the status of the disease 
in United States as a whole may 
be obtained by applying to the U.S.

happy is now. The way to be happy is 
to help make others so.
