Controlling White Pine Blister Rust in Michigan Forests
Two field parties from Agriculture join the Michigan Forestry Division to halt white pine blister rust by removing wild gooseberry and currant bushes in Alpeng State Forest and Hardwood State Forest. The rust spreads between white pine and currants or gooseberries and is suppressed only by eliminating host bushes. Also noted is a Lake County deer case with a $100 fine and 90 days jail for Ray Walter, plus reminders to plan next year’s fish planting, leave grain for game birds, and prepare feeds.
