H. Brannon, State Entomolo gist of Raleigh, spent Wednesday, Thursday and Friday making an inspection trip of white pine blis ter rust control work in several western North Carolina counties. H. B. Teague, State Leader in charge of the program in North Carolina, made the trip with Mr. Brannon. Blister rust, a dread fungus dis ease that kills white pine trees, is known to be prevalent in approx imately 30 states in this country, and the State Department of Ag riculture is cooperating with the U. S. Department of Agriculture in preventing this disease from killing white pines in this section. Recently $6,000 State funds and $21,000 Federal funds were made available for furthering the work in this State. Mr. Brannon is spending a con siderable amount of time inspect- j ing the work that has been done in the State, and is planning fu ture work to be done in the 25 western North Carolina counties, whe.re white pine is found ex tensively as a forest as well as an ornamental tree. Bhster rust is a fun^pis disease that k^ white pines somewhat like chestnut Might killed the chestnuts. However, it cannot spread from a pine directly to ^ loibeV pine. It is transmitted by air current &om the leaves of cur rant and gooseberry bushes la toe summer. To insure protection from tlie diraase all of these boak- es should bc; dottroyed when grow- teg ia the vlcmity of white pines. If .fistoer information is desired eiick'ommr of white pines is re quested to write Mr. Brannon at Balei^, or to Hr. Teague at room 604, county courthouse, at Asheville, N.

I was watching a baseball game with some others off the ship.. (We had been both ered with a series of earth trem ors, over 406 in the past twenty- foiir hours). Buddenly someone said, “There she goes,” and point ed toward the harbor. I looked and saw what seemed to be a white cloud arising from mouth of tbe harbor. My shipmatee and I beaded for a taxi stand and aft er some trouble got a taxi with a native driver (negro). He took us part way. to the ship and was too frightened to go on, so We got out and ran the rest of tho way. As we got to the ship a shower of ash came down on us. I tried to get up the gangway, but it was already black as night and every time I started I bumped into someone coming down. It was getting worse so I gave it up aa a bad job and started back up the dock feeling my way along a nar row gauge track with my fee^. 1 bumped Into someone on hands a^ knees (it was black as ink), lly I made my way to the office and. found several others around tho door, which was locked.

He also pointed out to the group, the importance of Inoculation and the result waa, he had not secured any growth. This alfalfa was seed ed last fall and has already been cut three times this season -urith very heavy yields. Mr. Jones saya that he did not know of any hay crop that be could get as much feed from on this amount of land than alfalfa. Second Stop: B. V.

Mr, Tomlin son told toe group about buying this farm several years ago when it would not produce five bushels of corn peri acre. Now It makes from 60 to 76 bushels per acre and,this year averaged approxL mately 30 bushels of wheat per acre. Mr. Tomlinson told the group that a trench silo furnish ed more feed and the best. feed through the months of no succu lent feed of any thing that ho could feed bis^ dairy cattle. He pMuted out the inexpensiveness of building a trench silo. He plants his com near the silo where, the haatlng will he less eaqMnslve.
