Gooseberry Pie Must Go
If Lumber Industry Is „
To Survive, Say G-Men
WASHINGTON. Oct. 15—Fighting
grimly against the enemy in our
midst, Federal agents today grad-
ually choked off the nation's sup-
ply of gooseberry pie.
Simultaneously in 33 states they
pressed against currant jelly the
: same intensive campaign of exter-.
mination. A few years more and a
gooseberry is going to be a precious
: thing, while a black currant will be
worth its weight In gold.
The government said it has noth-
ing personal against pie, nor pre-1
serves, either, but that they’ve got!
to go, if this country’s $400,000,000 j
(mi white pine lumber industry is!
to survive.
The connection between pie and
plank, joist and jelly, and berry and
pine board, unfortunately, is too
close and too definite to leave any
hope in the breasts of us lovers of
the pinkish gooseberry; us worship-
pers of the tangy currant.
This very minute thousands upon
thousands of federal workers are

uprooting millions upon millions of
currant and gooseberry bushes in
the northwest, the great lake states, i
and New England. These bushes, It
develops, are the cause of blister
rust, which is ruining whole forests i
quicker than Paul Bunyan himself ■
Spores fro mthe blister rust, which
is a famous plant disease, fly
through the air with the greatest of
ease, from pine tree to gooseberry
and currant bush, and back again.
Then they kill the pine tree Part of
their life cycle must be spent on the
leaves of the currant or the goose-
brry. Without these bushes, they die.
Hence the federal campaign.
This year, in the state of Idaho
alone, the Civilian Conservation
Corps has uprooted more than 5,-
000,000 (mi gooseberry bushes, eli-
minating untold billions of pies, but
saving a lot of trees. The same cam-
paign is being waged In 30 other
states by the CCC and the Depart-
ment of Agriculture.
The gooseberry uprooters have to
be exceedingly thorough. If they
miss a single bush, it Is enough to
wreck a medium-sized forest. The
foresters run pieces of string In
parallel lines through the woods,
therefore, and carefully follow them.
In order not to overlook a plant.
If they find a citizen with a
gooseberry bush In his back yard,
they don’t yank it up. They try to
persuade him to do It himself and I
eat apple pie, or custard, or some-
thing. instead
are two of the many freshmen at
Hardin-Simmons university who
■With transfers accounted for a IS
per cent increase In enrollment at
the outset of the fall term, records
in the registrar’s office show.
Nichols and O’Gorman are among
those in Ferguson and Smith Halls.
The University dormitories provide
spacious study rooms with adjoin^
ing bed rooms and baths. Good
wholesome family-style meals are
served to several hundred who live
on or near the campus.
Enrollment this year brings stu-
dents together from nearly two hun-
dred Texas towns and eleven state.
According to the academic cal-
endar the Shamrock students will
have vacation periods from Nov. 28
to Nov. 30, and from Dec. 19 to
January 1, and from March 26 to
