Writing in the 1927 Yearbook of the depart- ment, Dr. Haven Metcalf of the Bureau of Plant Industry, the importation of the European larch canker may cost this continent hundreds of millions of dolalrs. The disease has long been known in Europe, its native hcme, and im the last hundred years has caused great damage to the larch there Says Dr. Metcalf: If the sease would continue to limit its attention to the various Kkinds of larch, its appearance here would not be a matter of a m. The Eastern North American larch, tamarack or hack- matack, as it is best known. in New Eugland, is widely distributed, practi- cally covering the north of the con- tinent from New England to British Co- lumbia and Alaska. But, as is often the case with an in- troduced disease, the larch canker is not behaving in Massachusetts quite as it does in Europe. It is not only attacking European and American larches, as would be expected, but is also attack- ing Douglas fir. What is even more un- expected, it has attacked planted trees of western yellow pine. Douglas fir is perhaps the most important single species of forest tree im North America, and western yellow pine is widely dis- tributed and valuable. Any disease that could make serious inroads on either of these trees would quickly assume the proportions of a national calamity The European larch canker is a bark disease of the same general type as the chestnut blight, which it .strongly re- sembles. On Buropean larches it girdles and quickly kills young trees, but is not inclined to girdle older cnes completely. Instead it forms one or more permanent cankers on the trunk, spoiling the tree for timber and producing weak spots at which the tree readily breaks under stress of wind or snow. In Europe the disease is distinctly favored by moist or foggy climate, which is the- prevailing climate of those parts of the Pacific Coast where Douglas fir grows best. Up to October, 1927, the Ruropean larch canker has been found only in an area in BEastern Massachusetts about 14 miles long by 4 miles wide. If it has not been introduced in any other place within attacking distance of the hack- matack, and is really restricted to this small area, it might still be possible to stamp it out, although both the prac- tical and technical difficulties of such an undertaking would be serious. But whatever is done must be done soon, for if the disease once becomes established in the tarmarack of Northern New Eng- land and Canada it will be beyond prac- tical control and will spread unhindered to the Pacific Coust. a po- forest tree, says PROHIBITION ENFORCERS SHOOT SHERIFF AND DEPUTY. A County Sheriff in the State of Washington and one of his deputies and a Federal Prohibi- tlon enforcement agent were seve 1y wounded, the latter probably fatally, in a gunfight that fol- lowed an attack of Federal ofticers on the Sheriff and his forces at Wenatchee. The Sheriff had raided a still, and was leaving the site with { some of the evidence when Federal officers stuck * guns into their faces, and immediately. .

Most of these husbands, unlike How, not having an income from their mothers of $§600 a month that would enable them to afford both a wife and the wanderlust, are fo 1 to compromise. Most of the time they work steadily and come home regularly, but once or twice a year, overcome by their hobo instincts, they go cff on fishing trips. They go on these trips with men that a rebel- lious wife looks upon many hobos. They t mulligan out of battered cooking utensils that are little better than tin cans, and they obviously prefer such messes to the best dinners their deserted wi can proffer. They come back smelling of fish and earth, plainly indicating that for a time at least they have considered washing an unnecessary habit.

Prince Rupert and, indeed, fcur out of the five ridings in Northern British Columbia, find themselves on the opposition side of the Legis- lature now. There they will be for the next four year There need be no great trepidation over the t. The north is at least represented by men of presents and fighters such as the opposition should have, Pattullo, Manson, Wrinch and Kergin all have made good on the Govern- ment side. ' They all possess talents which should lend to similar success in their new status. How they act under changed conditions, none of them have ever sat in opposition before, will be fol- lowed with interest We expect of them not to be mere political obstructionists but to support the Government where they find the Government is doing well and rightly by the country and par- ticularly by these ridings. On the other hand, they will be expected to exercise all their pows= ers of opposition when the Government might propose to do something that it was not for the welfare of the Province or of these ridings. That is the duty of the opposition—a duty which if it fulfills will be recognized by the Province as the whole and the dist individually represent.
