TirEDFO-RD FXTTi TRTBTTNTE. JfEDFORD. OTCTCfl ON. FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 19. 1937. VALUABLE STANDS AFRICAN TRIP TO OF PINE PERILED BY BLISTER RUST Disease Control Must Be Achieved Within Next Years to Save Forests of Oregon, Expert Says If the sugar and whit pins stands of southtrn Oregon forests are to be laved, blister rust must be thorough ly checked within the next three years. It was stated yesterday by W. V Benedict, senior forester In charge of blister rust control in Oregon and California for the V. 6. bureau of entomology and plant quarantine. Mr. Benedict came here from bis headquarters In Oakland, Calif., to confer with Conrad P. Weasels, asso ciate forester In charge of blister rust control In this district, Karl L. Janouch, supervisor of the Rogue rtr er national forest which has the Isst valuable stand of virgin whtte pine In Oregon, and E. P. Leavltt, super intendent of Crater lake national park. The white bark pint In Crater lake national park Is also endangered, noma of the trees having been In fected with blister rust, Mr. Benedict nld. The white bark pine has no 'omraerelal use but Is prized for Its aesthetic value, Mr. Janounch ' plained. Situation Serious "The situation In southern Oregon and northern California Is serious, Mr, Janouch said. About 500,000 acres In southern Oregon alone are endang ered, Mr. Benedict stated. "The blister rust control campaign must be greatly Intensified and the disease must be thoroughly supress--d within the next three years If we are to save the forests," Mr. Benedict declared. He Indicated that extent of the control program depends en tire -. iy upon the funds appropriated for rhe work. The disease attacks only five-need-in pines. Cicrra hosts are currant and iooaoberry bushes. Both the bushes And the trees are needed to complete i he disease cycle. In the first stage I tie disease spreads from the bushes to the trees. There la then an Incuba tion period of two o three yeara. At the end of the incubation period cankers appear on the trees and they liberate countless millions of sperms which infect the bushes, Mr. Bene dict explained. ilrk Action Needed When the cankers appear the sec ond stage of the disease develops and 'the Infection then builds up In a geometric ratio, Mr. Benedict related, rhe second stage Is now being ap proached In southern Oregon and northern California, he added. The disease can be spread from the trees to the bushes for long distances up to 20O miles but the spread from the bushes to the trees Is exceeding ly short, he explained. Hence abso lute control oan be procured by elim inating the currant and gooseberry bushes In and Immediately around the pine timber areas. MWa oannot permit the second stage of the disease to develop If our sugar and white pine Is to be saved," Mr. Benedict warned.

When we landed at Nairobi, we made up a safari of about 300 per sona, Including Mrs. Mnrtln Johnson. the explorer, and we set out to follow Stanley's trail. It took us five months to do It. and though wo worked hard, we suffered no particu lar hardships. "Eventually we got to UJIJi where Stanley spoke his celebrated line. We discovered Mint we couldn't take sny shots thorn. The UJIJI of WW was not the UJIJI ot 10:i7. There were gasoline filling sta tions when we got there and houses with tin roofs and natives wearing civilised clothes. So we hnd to go back out of town a piece and bund our own 1873 version of tho town. The natives thought we wrra crazy." Pays Native Well. Brower got a lot of cooperation. however, for the Tolks who thought he was a little crackod. That was be cause he paid them IiIrIi wages, in true Hollywood fashion. Each native got a dally salary of one chunk of meat and the equiva lent of twelve and one-half Ameri can pennies. donned an ensemble of green, in eluding suit, shirt, tie and emerald ring, put on his puttees and took the part of a movie director In a film being produced to advertise his forthcoming picture, "The Bucca neer."
