WHITE PINE BLISTER RUST \ 111 During the season, on all areas, more than 1000 acres were checked over, with a total average of about 4i/2% of Ribes of all kinds found this season, as against 951/2% previously eradicated. With improved methods and increased experience, it may be quite possible to bring this up to at least 987c or even better, and the pathologists give us every assurance that even at the present figure, the work of checking the advance of the disease will be effective. - -"T.

COOPERATION Up to the time of this report, no cooperation with towns or private owners has been solicited in Maine, for the reason that it has been deemed advisable to await more definite results from the experimental and demonstration work being carried on by the State and the Federal Government before asking for further financial assistance from the owners who are already paying through taxa- tion for the work now being carried on in the state. Neither have any claims been paid for Ribes destroyed, since either the plants were diseased, and therefore they are a menace under our present law and can be destroyed without compensation.
