B.C. obtained from eeroolane snruee "rejects." from seasoned stock, and from fraahly cut green timber. Type spect- mens of "dote" vera received also from e Air Board in Knglsnd. The Invest. nation has been confined to two defects of aeroplane spruce, the one known as "white dote" or "com-prewlcn shake." the other aa "dote." Bo far no wirk has been done on the various moulds and stains which develop on timber In storage and durimr transit. "HIIITK IKITK" A comparison of specimens has shown that the defects of aeroplane spruce known as "whitr dote" in British Columbia and as "cornpreswton shake" In England, are one and -the same thing Spruce of this type looks normal In color but Is very brittle or "brash " it larks strength and breaks across abruptly without splintering. Mo fungus has been obtained in culture from the few apes. 'mens of this defect which have bam available. Microscopic sections show the preaence of very fine fungous hyr.hae occasionally, but the defect is In all probability a physiological one due. perhaps, to unfavorable growth condi tions or strains to wnicn rne tree was subjected before or after felling. Palling up the fibres to test the strength of the wood Is part of. the routine inspection of aeroplane spruce, but. since reports indicate that a great deal of spruce showing "white dote" or "compression shake" has been sent tc togteod. still more stress could be laid on fibre strength tests. In this way. perhaps, more spruce suffering tram this defect could be culled before shipment. A study of a number of pieces of Sttca spruce sent from England as typical specimens of this defect has shown that "dote" is a general term used to cover a a umber of rots caused by various wood -destroying fungi. All of the specimens of defective aeroplane snruee received from Em land wore so badly rotted and discolored that they would have to be discarded at any mill. They showed three types of decay: 1. Wood in which certain areas were more or less uniformly discolored. The infected area is darter than normal, and in advanced stages the wood to dark brown In color and easily powdered tween the fingers. Some specimens of this type have a very atrong odor of anise seed or bitter almonde. 3. Wood In which there are "elon fated pipes of decay" with areas of ap patently sound wood between. The decayed wood Is reddish brown and easily crumbled. 8. Wood In which minute pockets of rot occur here and others. Their presence is indicated by small areas of dlscol- NOTICE.

' . . Cul tores mad from the specimens of dlseajsid wood rrom tTngtawd snowed that not o4e but sHetAl". Iuug ,yvre responsible for the types of decay known ut "dote." Of these fungi three may be mentioned particularly. 1. Perhaps the commonest is Poly porus Schsvelnltzll. the fungus whloh causae the rot commonly known as "conk-rot." The large, annual fruit-bodies of this fungus consist of a short talk and a fleshy top; they range In color from yellow to brown: and the under, pored surface la frequently a dirty green. Cultures of thla fungu .show the same wide variation In color as the frult-bodle' d Cultures whtrli varied somewhat from the type, wait. Isolated from specimens of apruoe received from England, and from others collected on the Pacific coast Tbete cultures grew more slowly, produced a scantier, more delicate mycelium, did not exhibit the same depth of color, and were characteiieed by a hitter almond odor which was particularly noticeable on malt agar cultures. Although these cultures remain distinct even In spruce wood-block cultures they have been considered as variations of P. Schwein-ltr.ll. This fungus was Isolated from rotted wood of type 1. 3. From the pocket rot. type 3, whether the pockets were one-leu inch or twelve Inches in length, an unidenti fied ruiigus was obtained. In culture a white downy mjlpeltunj at produosd which later become felted, and numer ous large, more or less gtebular massei of velvety mycelium develop on the surface of the culture. These balls vary In color from pale yellow to light and tltep buff. Microscopically the myce Hum Is seen to consist of hyaline hy-phae which branch frequently and bear numerous clamp connections. No '-"rtosnorea were notaxl, but peculim swelling occur --i jtue UyL-'.aj par ticularly In prune agar cultures. This fungus la readily recognised but. so far. hss not been Identified. 3. From wood showing elongated "pipes" of decay, type a. a Y lingua was Isolated with a delicate, downy, white mycelium, which becomes loosely matted. The mycelium tends to grow around the aeaes of the tube and to be come more dense at the Up of the cul-, ture, where a velvety surface results The mycelium remains pur white except where the plug of velvety mycelium be-: tunes tinted with psle buff. This fun-us is recugnirod by the peculiar follow. rulting structures, with hyaline which are produced both on n apruoe wood-block cultures. The my-ellum Is composed of very broad hy-linc hypbae with very many large and jnsplcuou clnmp-connections, snd produces an abundance of hyaline hlsmydospores. This fungus, too. Is jnldentiried but rcidlly recognised. INTMtKstTINtl POINT rne Interesting point about these eul-ures la that tltey were obtained from pectmena of "dote" sent to us from Xnglsnd. But in every case, ao far, dent leal cultures have been obtained 10m specimens of freshly sawn 'SKka ,pruce in British Columbia. In other '.vera, these fungi may sll grow In itandtng llvlnit trie or freshly felled oga of Sitka spruce It Is probable, -herefore. that they were present in the 3itka spru"e timber before It was ship-;ed from the Pacific roast to England, ind that the "dute" was due to their ievelopment rather than to fungous Inaction after shipment There la a possib'e wny In which some diseased spruce niigh! be shipped to RnKlnnd as aeroplane stork.

When aeroplane apruoe la close piled is damp holds of ships and then sent ta -the Panama Ceaal to Bvsg ksnd the condi- tsfana ot mrtrftare assl sssajiersture waailrt This fact, alone, however, would not account for th amount of defective spruce which has been bought In England as aeropuwte eoeuoe, and probably the old practise of purchasing on Use ordinary commercial grade of "clear and better rough green spruce" hat been responsible for much of the trouble.

I the amount of storage .pace required would be reduced, and the danger from development of moulds and sap strain during storage Isssened, and any Incipi ent rot would be checked. PKM'AKIOI'S PRACTICE Transporting such carefully lessoned and oarefuUy selected stock ss eercplen spruce in holds of ships seems precarious practice. During the war, owing no doubt to the urgent need, and also to the curtailment of tonnage, aecopesae spruce was sent by rail to the Atlantic ses board and theu by bust to England. Recently several shipments bean made is the seone way and a - tbm from England 'states In such good tondl- 100 per sent, respec tively, were fully acceptable. Thla more than compensated for the extra eost of carriage " This, then, would seem to be the logical method of transporting such valuable material. TOO TRI E.
