Currant Bushes Being Destroyed by State and Federal Crew
Wild currant and gooseberry bushes within 900 feet of white pine plantings are being pulled up by scouts under the Federal Bureau of Plant Industry and the North Carolina Department of Agriculture. The work, directed by State Entomologist R W Leiby, aims to prevent blister rust by removing alternate hosts. A two year program funded by NRA and state sources targets Watauga Ashe counties with district supervisors, while a State Board of Agriculture regulation may authorize wider removal in blister rust zones.
