FORESTRY sfl“ufl'_ "Ews nnother week, wor't show us a tato.”” Conditions are bettered now, dand the woods are better off with brush fires well dampened. From the Itasca State Park, Local News of General Interest. By P. T. Allen. Sections s;xch as this where dyna- mite is commonly used for blasting stumps and rocks, frequently report cases of poisoning by dynamite. An inquiry directed to the depart- ment of physiology and pharmacol- ogy of the University of Minnesota, resulted in the following advice, “The symptoms experienced are due to the handling of the explosive—a mixture of nitroglycerin and in- fusorial earth—which is of a volatile nature and is very readily absorbed. It is also possible that some * cf the effect is due to the inhaling of the volatilized substance. “The effect is identical to that of large doses of nitroglycerir, and is due to the dilatation of the blood vessels in general. The dilatation of the menengial vessels of the brain is said to be the cause of the throb- ing and severe headache. The treat- ment is mainly prophylatic, avoid the intoxication as much as possible and it has been advised to bandle the stuff with rubber gloves and avoid inhaling the gases. Little can be done in the way of medical treatment to overcome the immedi- The Douglas Lumber Company | Miss E. C.

A scientific visitor to the Park and the Forest School, July 17, was Geo. G. Hedgcock, pathologist in charge of the survey of the diseases of forest trees and timber roots in the national forests, He is connected with the office of Forest Pathology in the Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Department of Agriculture. He is making an extensive tour through- out the western half of the United States, making a disease survey in the various national forests and also carrying on experiments in many of them. At the forest school he stayed four days, making satisfactory col- lections through the very dry weather is unfavorable condition for his work. He finds fungus - growths aplenty of such deciduous trees as paper birch and aspen but none at all on the Norway pines. The spread of such fungus trouble that will result in timber rot, may be stcpped by picking the fungus off the tree, as it is now done im Germany where every tree has an acknowledged individual value, and as in this country in the cornfield, where the careful farmer removes the smut balls from his field corn. Accompanying the Forest School students on an excursion, Dr. Hedg- cock lectured to them informally in the field. He went from here to the Cass Lake national forest, thence to the national forests in Montana. July 18, fifteen guests from Doug- las Lodge in two launches, picniced at Elk Lake Spring and the Beaver Dam. Seventy guests were enter- tained at the Lodge yesterday. August Snyder, one half mile east of Wedmann’s at Lake Itasca, has telephonic connection now with the outside world, using a standard in- strument and a barbwire circuit on Wegmann’s pasture fence. W. H. Gardner of Lake Itasca killed a 400 pound bear. He refused to dispose of the hide, but will have it tanned by a Detroit Michigan taxidermist and the head mounted as a wall-piece.
