OliVe currants or gooseberries and the fungus may thus become widely dis- tributed. In the late summer spores from currants or gooseberries are carried by the wind to nearby pines and, being deposited upon the need- les, grow down into the wood of the branches. Apart from a swelling of the limb thene is little external in- dication of disease for. at least three years following infection, and the period may be considerably longer; At the end of this time. the fungus again produces blisters which break through the bark and the life cycle commences again. The effect of this disease is that eventually it kills the tree by girdling. l'pon currants and gt‘MSPhPl‘l‘lPS the ntl'ect is negligible except in sex’erc cases of infection, when defoliation may result. If this is continued for several years *thv plants will probably succumb. In New York and in the New En- gland States blister rust is wide- spread upun both cucrants and glmsclmrrics and upon pines and is causing much damage there. In Eastern Canada, while the disease is present in every province, it. is gen- erally confined to cucrants and grmsehcrries and So far the pines have not become infected to any great. extent. In British Columbia rust. has been present. in the coastal sectinn for about the same length of time as it has been in the East. and it is so firmly established upon both hosts there that'control measures are out of the question. In the in- terior around Revelstoke, where there is more white pine than on the roast. it has not been present so long. and it may be possible to ad- opt eontrol measures there. In any case the total amount of pine in British Columbia is small so that any damage which might occur there would not be nearly as im- portant. as that which might be, caused in the. east. Fortunately there is a simple method of protectâ€" ing the pines against blister rust. Since t-urrants or gooseherries are required for one stage of the life history of this fungus it follows that if they be. not present. the rust can- not develop. The elimination. then. of currants and gooseherries in forâ€" ested lands would prevent any dam- age to white pines from this cause. This work can he done for a sur- prisingly small charge per acre and may become necessary in the future in Eastern Canada.

As a member of the crow family it pay§' dearly for. the relationship, receiving almost as many uncomplimentary remarks: as does its black cousin. It is perhaps best described as an outlawâ€"a sort of Robin Hood of the bird world, In common with other outlaws the blue jay loads a checkered life in which we can find much to condemn and much to admire.

As many timesi we rescued them from summer storms, and c ried the drenched babies into theiuse to be revived by the warmth of the kitchen fire. The young jays have the same bean- tiful marking and coloring as their parents. ‘From the intimate experiences of that summer dates our friendship for the blue jay. In spite of the bad reputation we can find many poian in favor of this bird. It. is a case where bad deeds are otfset by good ones. There are times when we are sorely vexed with the mischievous felolow, but. we know that we would miss him in more ways than one if he no longer eame to the farm. Ornithologists of renown have ac- knowledged that the jay dues “great good at certain times in certain places.” Without a doubt one ut‘ the places thus referred to is the arch- ard. The bird stands high as a (les- truyer 0f noxinus insects. It must be credited with the destruction of the larvae of these arch enemies of the fruit. cropâ€"the brown-tail moth and the gypsy moth. It 3134:» feeds- on harmful beetles and grasslmppers. We cannot deny the fact that the blue jay is of great value as a guarâ€" dian of our trees and crnps. when it helps to hold in check such enemies as these. \ I One uniquo service with which tho blue jay is credited is that. of forest- m'.

A few years ago the late R. B. W‘hyte or Ottawa. instituted potato growing competitions in these counties and provided a fund for the continuation of this kind of work. The fund is administered by Mr. W. T. Maconn. Dominion Horticulturist, Mr. Gourge H. Clark. Seed Commissioner and M r. L. H. Newman, Dominion Corralist. as Secretary. Each hoy entering: the contest will receive Six apple trees Of early sum- mer or late winter Varieties. The contest will extend over three years. l’rizes will be awarded annually ax well as at its conclusion. The prizes-r will be based on inspection reports as to the condition in which the trees have been kept and the use made. of the land between the rows. Mr. Macoun feels confident that the competition will result in a better umlerstanding of the suitability of varieties for the district. and the more general planting (if apple trees Ull tthe farms.
