Raleigh, May 12. —(A 5 )—The chest nut blight which has practically wiped out the chestnut forests of the north eastern states is spreading rapidly over the thirty-three million acres of chestnut growth in the southern Ap palachians, surveys just competed show, says a department of agricul ture bulletin just received here. The spread of the blight, with the consequent disappearance of the cheet nuet forests in the southern Appa lachians,- presents a two-fold prob lem, according to the bulletin. The first is,the ultiliration of the chest - Ht timber; Qie second is the ques tion of supplying some substitute—a substitute that, so far as is known, does not exist—for the chestnut ex tract wood which supplies the raw tanning, mntcrial for the extract plants and tanneries of the southern Appalachians. Referring to the first problem, the bulletin says: “Unless owners plan for the utili zation or sale of chestnut timber killed by the blight they will have to face severe losses. Woodlot own ers who can not cut their diseased chestnut before it dies should remove it within two years after death, be Divorced! ! * ' ’ . ./ 1 . llhmß HmmbsH rill 1 A baker cars were divorced M June 18,1925. Studebakera I W nouncements which make cars artificially obsolete. Auto Supply & Repair Co. fore insect injury, decay and check- i ing cause severe depreciation. The blight merely kills the tree, but does not in itself reduce the strength of * the -wood or cause deterioration.” “Tlje destruction of our chestnut by blight will cause certain economic disturbances. Just ns the squirrel now has to search for other foods, so the industries dependent upon the chestnht will have to depend upon other trees, or go out of business. A large proportion of the poles used in this country are chestnut, but these can be made from other kindß of trees and from steel. Chestnut lumber, ties, and other products can be re placed by products made from other species, but there is no substitute for the extract plants and tanneries of | the southern Appalachians. The hem lock bark of the northwest produces a different kind of tanning and is too far distant from the eastern leather industry, while the chestnut oak bark of the east is not sufficiently abund ant and economical! of manufacture to replace the chestnut. Thus we face the prospect of our vital leather tanning industry becoming dependent upon foreign supplies of tannin. Al ready we are importing about one half of our supplies and with the passing of the chestnut which makes up one-half of our domestic produc tion of tannin, we will be in a much worse position.” i The department recommends con ! trol of forest fires ns one method of 1 conserving the vanishing supply of , rhwtnut. Limited experiments seek • ing a blight-resisting strain of chest nut are being conducted, the bulle tin says, but the experiments, so far, hold out little promise of success. A Desperate Situation. Editor of Country Weekly, to As sistant—Say, ’Kiah, there ain’t a bit o’ news this week for the Enterprise What air we goin’ to do? There ain’t been a weddin’ nor even an en gagement ; not a death nor a birth; nobody sick; no church sociables nor dances nor fights nor shows nor can dy-pulls— nobody's cow killed; no body's barn painted; no students, go in’ way to college or cornin’ baeki* no arrests for bootleggin’.
