ASHEVILLE, N. C. (#).—The village | smithy has virtually disappeared, and | the spreading chestnut tree also ap- | pears to be doomed. Great forests of the American specles of chestnut in the Appalachian and Smoky Mountain sections are suc- cumbing to the invasion of a chestnut blight. As a result important commercial roducts, such as tannin extract, used the leather industry, nuts and timber will suffer in production. Government experts in forest path- cards; Mrs. Bowle, student | kn blight-resisting spec{:a :I from China and Japan which may take the place of the American chestnut and which perhaps may be crossed with the time somewhat similar to the American es. ‘The method being adopted is some- what similar to fighting disease in the human body by vaccination, as the Asi- atic_chestnut trees have been inoccu- lated against the blight by being subject to it over a long period. Large scale planting of the Asiatic species is being undertaken in North Carolina. Plans are made for pianting 5,000 seedlings on public lands, where their growth may be checked frequently. —_— Checks Rushed by Airmail, A new overnight airmail limited service between Seattle and California is working havoc with people who kited checks.
