PATHOLOGISTS MEET IN PORTLAND
Plan to Keep Pine Blister Out of West
The plant pathologists of the western states have called a meeting of forest officers, plant pathologists, timber owners, and plant quarantine officers at Portland, Ore., April 23 and 24, for the purpose of keeping the pine blister rust out of the west. This disease, which is highly destructive to the western white pine and other five-needle pines, has already invaded eastern states, so drastic measures will be taken by these men to prevent its spread here. The following scientists and leaders will be present:
Dr. Haven Metcalf, in charge of U. S. Forest Pathology; Prof. W. A. McCubbin, director of pine blister work in Canada; Dr. E. P. Meinecke, California; Dr. J. R. Weir, Washington, and others.
The University of Idaho will be represented at this conference by Prof. V. H. Young, head of the department of botany; Chas. W. Hungerford, plant pathologist of the Agricultural Experiment station and C. R. Stillinger, graduate student in the school of forestry.
