among the few natural, or sslf'planted,
trees Of kspt county 40 years ego. But
only Within tns past tix years has the
dlaaaae assumed alarming proportions,
and within that time II las been steadily
spreading sonthwHfd uGtll Its southern
boundary is now roughly marked by q
line extending from WhiteleHeburg to
Ffeiefic4 and thence backward TO t'slton.
OF coufse affected trees may bs found
below This line, as we'll as unaffected
orghRrds to the north thereof. TO CHECK
the further spread OF the disease IL the
object aimed at, and this end is TO b'
sought by the prompt roofing out OF dis
eased trees aud the exclusion from

The object of excluding this ifnit - 4
