OREGON Sales Planned In Blow-Down Areas Klamath Falls Timber falcs in blow down areas of Winema National forest may have to be substituted for other planned areas, Super visor Alex Smith has reported following air inspections of the forest this week.

Wilson Smith 3135 Connell Av., Med ford salvage sales in areas of heavy blowdown. "We hope," Smith said, "to start salvage programs quick ly so that loss from stain and insects will be held to a mint mum. The scattered nature of the blowdown will make sal vage in some areas difficult." A survey of damage sus tained by the forest is still under way, he reported. Many forest roads were closed by falling trees and debris. On the Chiloquin district the Kirk and Modoc point rds. are being opened so livestock operators can gather and re move their stock from the forest. Ten summer homes at Lake of the Woods were reported to have been damaged and a number of boats wrecked.

Washington -WTO- The Unit ed States' has beqome a world leader Wthe plant quarantine field,-and is far in advance of most countries, in the .projec tion of its farms and wood lands. l. This was not always so. And because of the early, fully of admitting scores of the world's most destructive plant pests, there is a continuing fight against insects and diseases Which destroy or harm Amer ican crops. . v ; . Before passage of the plant quarantine act .of ' 1912, the United States was vulnerable to the whim of any foreign grower who chose to unload his cull stock on an indiffer ent American public. Ralph W. Sherman of the plant quarantine division of the Agricultural Research service, reports that an in ventory of the foreign insects now harbored in the United States shows that 94 "species gained entry prior to this leg islation. Further, data assem bled by the federal horticul tural board as early as 1911) show that at least 120 foreign diseases had been introduced up to that time. Insects, Diseases Washington's famous Japa nese cherry trees are a case in point. In 1909 the mayor of Tokyo notified President William Howard Tart that the people of Tokyo were -sending 2,000 flowering cherry trees as a gift lo' the . people of Washington.- When the 12-13 foot trees arrived. Agriculture department scientists found them infested with more than a dozen species of exotic in sects and carrying several plant diseases. The trees were burned. Three years later the city of Tokyo sent '3,000 more trees, apparently free of pests. They were planted, and he came one of the pleasant sights of Washington. Unfortunately,- these trees and similar importations that soon followed were responsi ble for the introduction into the United States of the de structive oriental fruit moth, one of the more serious pests now widespread in most com mercial peach growing dis tricts of the country. Sherman said that had they been fumigated and it is quite possible they wcrs-they still would have been danger ous. Fifty years ago there was no fumigant lethal to -ill bor ers embedded in the wood nd protected by a gummy exu date.

In 1903, California ap proved legislation providing for enforcement of regulations to protect the state's agricul ture, i Federal legislation was pro posed in the 1890s because of the San Jose scale scare. This scale entered California on flowering peach stock brought from ' China. Eventually it reached New Jersey. Bills were introduced in Congress periodically, and were strong ly opposed by U. S. nursery men who feared that quarrn tine legislation would destroy their import business, then valued at about $350,000 an nually. They failed to pass and ef forts to obtain a quarantine act were not revived until around 1910 when enormous quantities of brown-tail moth nests, filled with hibernating larvae, were arriving in seed ling fruit stock, principally from northern France. The quarantine act did not become a reality until 19' 2. By that time America had become a dumping ground foir the plant refuse of other coun tries. Sherman said that fully 50 per cent of important in jurious insect pests were for eign introductions, among them the Hessian fly, luirn fly of cattle, cabbage worm, pea weevil, croton bug, aspar agus beetle, Argentine nnt, and alfalfa-leaf weevil, .;- In the 50 years of its exist ence, 82 quarantines ' have been promulgated under' the act. Thirty of these have re lated to imports of plant and plant products from foreign countries, 40 to in'tprstate movements, and 12T-tt Move ment of host materialjje'tw.een the U.
