visor Alex Smith has reported
following air inspections of
the forest this week.
First estimates indicate that
upward of 10 million feet of
merchantable pine and fir

said. He added that work is

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. Seaport Inspection
Plant quarantine work in
the United States may be said

California set up a seaport
inspection at San Pedro, prob
ably the first anywhere in the
world. 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. S. mainland, and its off
shore states and territories.
Currently, there tfc ,1 3- do
mestic quarantines,' rf fbreign
and seven territorial, '
Since 1912 there have been
numerous amendments siidrc--visions
of the quarantine act
Sherman said that vith '-the
j adoption in May. 1957, of the
federal plant pest act, all re-
j maining loopholes in plant
quarantine had been pltiged.
Today, inspection of ir rs:
! scngers' baggage and'i'tff; jair
j cargo at international airports
constitutes one of the major
! problems of forogri 'plant;
quarantine enforcement! l,ast
year 130,000 plarfes from for-
I oign countries were examined

In all, there were some
325.000 seizures of contraband
, and 25.B00 plant pest interccJ,.
tions. More than half of these
were from fruit and plant ma
terials found in baggage.
