SEEKING MEANS TO CHECK
WHITE PINE BLISTER
Pacific Nawa Service, Wash. Bureau.
WASHINGTON, Delegates to the
International Forestry Conference are
In session here giving their whole at
tention to the problem of checking the
white pine blister, n scourge which
now is attacking pines in new Eng
ladn and which will cost millions of
collars '.voMh ol damage to the for
ests of the country unless it is held
In check.
The white pine blister is a disease
which works rapidly and is deadly ot
pine trees. The Department of Ag
riculture classes It with the chestnut
blight and the boll weevil as a de
structive element.
Governors of most of the states in
the I'nion have sent delegates to the
cou'.'e'viu-o .f’e tot co-operate in de
vising means to fight this tree plague.
The western states are particularly
a'Kious to keep *he white pine blister
from approaching their country.
Drastic quarantine which will pre
vent shipment of seeds from the In
fected area to free areas will be en
forced by the Department of Agricul
ture. Seedlings and plants from
foreign countries where the blister Is
known to exist also will be barred
from entry to the United States. Pa
cific coast foresters and lumbermen
are particularly anxious that the
white pine blister be kept from their
great stands of timber and are doing
all they can to assist the conference
In solving the problem.
PresldentPack of the American
Forestry Association said today that
public opinion should be aroused to
aid in the fight against the whlteplne
blister.
CALIFORNIA RICE CROP
NOT IIP TO STANDARD
Pacific N«?w3 Service. Wash. Bureau
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The Cali
fornia rice crop has not turned out so
well as was anticipated by the De
partment of Agriculture earlier in the
season. A statement on the result
of the rice growing season, issued by
the Department, follows:
"Owing to the unfavorable weather
conditions prevailing in the rice area
of California during December, the
expectations earlier in that month for
for a continuance of crop growing
conditions calculated to develop a
large per cent of the late plantings
were not realized and the harvest
proved generally disappointing. More
than 12,000 acres of rice that had
promised a harvest failed, owing to
the cold abnormal weather, to develop
a crop and will not he thrashed, and
yields generally have been corres- 1
pondlngly affected. On the basis of
present advices, the Bureau of Crop
Estimates now announces a reduc
tion of its December estimate of 67,
800 acres to be 58,390 acres and a
reduction of its December estimate of
67 bushels per acre to 69 bushels per
acre, indicating a total crop for the
State of 3,263,000 bushels, instead of
its original estimate of 4,543,000 bush
els.
"This reduces the United States
total production to 40,702,000 bushels
instead of the December estimate of
11,982,000 bushels.”

DYES SOON MAY COME
FROM JAPANESE
I
Pacific News Se’-vice, Wash. Bureau.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—On account
of the accumulation of an over supply
of dyestuffs In Japan the dye manu
'acturers have petitioned the Govern
ment to remove the embargo on dyes
and If this Is done it is probable that
the United States may receive large
consignments of dyes from the Orien
tal empire, This may have an Im
portant effect on the American dye
Industry, especially if the Japanese
price their dyes low. The American
industry' is now counting on the con
tinued protection of the war to give
-he home factories an opportunity to
work into the fields and reduce manu
facturing costs before the world mar
ket la reopened.
The principal oversupply In Japan
la in black dyes and sulphuric dyes.
Black is quite scarce here.
