' THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, JUNE 15, 1929 PACE THIRTEEM 'RUST PERIL 10° WHITE PINE TREE Destructiv eFungus Starts in o Fruit Bushes and Spreads to Trees Montreal, June 15--White pine blister rust, a tree disease that was first 'brought into Canada from Eur- ope in 1907 on imported white pine nursery stock, is now doing damage to white pine trees at Hudspn Height and is regarded as a serious menace to white pine trces in the Dominion. Confirmation of the reported blister rust at Hudson Heights has been made by Dr. H. T. Gussow, Domin- ion Botanist, and A. W, McCallum, Forest Pathologist, who have visited the infected area resently, and advise the destruction of all the currant and gooseberry bushes in that district in "order to save the pines as the disease is spread to the trces from the fruit bushes in question. The Gazette says: About seven years ago an outbrake took place at St. Andrews East, Quebec. From there it has spread to the vicinity of Hudson "Heights. All pines having their leaves in cluster of five are sub- ject to attack by blister rust. * The fungus cannot spread directly from pine to pine, but must first pass through an intermediate stage on currant or gooseberry bushes. Dr. Gussow, said yesterday that if the far- mers and residents of the Hudson Heights district wish to save -the beautiful white pines of the district as well as the new plantations, they must destroy all currant and goose- verry bushes, both cultivated and wild. "A regular campaign should be in- itiated at once to eliminate these bushes. All currant and gooseberry bushes growing within 900 feet of the pines should be removed. In the case of cultivated black currants which are specially susceptible to rust, it is ab- solutely necessary to remove these for a distance of one mile from the pines to be protecttd. "Blister rust is a disease fatal to white pines. It is caused by a fungus which completes its life cycle by growing upon currant or gooseberry leaves, The fungus enters a pine tree by way of the needles and from these grows downwards into the bark. "It is an insidious disease because it is only during May and June of cach year, when the blister appears that it is at all conspicuous, The spores produced by the perennial cankers on the pine help to infect eventually all currants and goose- berries in the vicinity in the spring and in late summer and autumn the rust spreads back to the pines. "A stand of white pine may thus appear to the casual obseryer to be quite healthly, even though it may be very severely infected with rust. Dead branches with yellow leaves appearing among the green foliage of a tree arc often indications of the presence of rust. : DRIVER DIES AT WHEEL St. Mary's, June 15. -- While driving his car between St. Mary's and Stratford on Highway No. 7 about 10 o'clock yesterday, Mr. Edmonds, of West Lorne, was sud- denly stricken with heart failure and died, the car running into the ditch, Mr. Edmonds, who was ac- companied by his wife, was on his way to Listowel.

Meanwhile French reinforce- ments, including eight battalions of the French Foreign Legion, un- der General Freydenberg, were ap- proaching Ait Yakoub and were expected to {Initiate retributive measures almost at once.

WEATHER CHANGES LIFT UP SIDEWALK Ottawa People easily Alarm- ed as Result of Recent Explosion Ottawa, June 15.--Cracks and up- heavals in the sidewalks of this city have caused some uncasiness among citizens and some of them have ex- pressed fear of explosions similar to wse which recently occurred with ch serious effect. A few days ago a resident of Bank street became al- armed and telephoned to the engin- eering department in the city hall that the sidewalk had: "blown up." Members of the engineering staff hur- ried to the scene and found the cause of the alarm was a small upheaval in the sidewalk. Seweral such alarms have occurred within a few days, cracks or uphecav- als in sidewalks or pavements being reported. Commissioner of Works A F. Macallum, however, states that these have nothing to do with the recent sewer explosion but are par- ticularly noticed at present because the nerves of many people are "jumpy" as a result of the big ex- plosion. Deputy Commissioner. F, C, Askwith says there are about S50 sidewalks and pavements in various parts of 'the city with recent cracks or upheavals, but such things occur annually and are observed after sud- den changes in tlc weather. These are due to sudden expansion, to roots of trees causing sidewalks to heave up, and other causes, he says, TWO LITTLE GIRLS INJURED Toronto, June 15, -- Struck by automobiles Agnes Todd, of Gwynne avenue, 15 years old, and Doris Andon, 11 of 40 Bolton aven- ue recived injuries yesterday.
