MAY LOSE The
CHESTNUT TREE
Unless Blight Is Checked State
Trees Will be Gone Within
Three Years
SOME METHODS OF
FIGHTING THE DISEASE

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del. Aug. 7.-Delaware, 1t
is feared. may lose her chestnut trees.
The chestnut groves throughout the
entire peninsula are becoming infected
with a disease which is as fatal as
the yellows proved to be to Delaware's
peach orchards.
Aside from the fact that an October
ray would mean little TO a rowing
young Delawarean with no chestnut
trees dropping their burs, 1t is SER
ious matter from the danger Of loss Of
chestnut trees for the splendid grade
of wood they produce-chestnut posts,
chestnut poles and chestnut ties and
piling.
A chestnut tree pays every farmer
$40 a year just from its fruitage. Now
the farmer is about to use that $20-a-
year income, and the people are about
to lose much Of the pleasure Of eating
chestnuts, of roasting chestnuts and
of a chestnut All Halloween.
Three meetings have been held
over the distressing prospects by the
State Board OF Agriculture here.
As a result OF the last meeting, a
brief appeal, the second to be sent
out. was ordered Issued to 1000 rep
resentative farmers OF Delaware, in
cluding all who are known to have
chestnut trees. II follows:
The bark blight will wipe out chest
nut timber in Delaware in three years,
II not checked.
Cutting out diseased trees and
burning diseased bark is the only
remedy The wood is good until It
begins to decay, and should be utilized
promptly.
"Dr. Mel T. Cock OF the Delaware
Experiment Station has investigated
the extent OF the Chestnut Bark Blight.
for the State Board of Agriculture. and
reports that the disease is much more
prevalent I'm the State than was sup
posed; that diseased trees are found I'm
all parts of the state so far as in
spections have been made. which is as
far South as FELTON,. Dr. Cook says
Taking into consideration the
rapid spread of the disease since its
nrst discovery In 1904, It's spread with
in this state within the past three
years, and the large number Of points
Of infection, the writer is of the opin-
ion that unless some heroic measures
are taken for its control. practically
all of our chestnut will be destroyed
within the next three years It most
certainly cannot last longer than five
years under present conditions
Owners are therefore warned to
cut out all diseased bark at the first
opportunity; and they are advised to
utilize all chestnut timber as speedily
as possible. Any chestnut trees show.
ing dead OF dying leaves and branches
may safely be assumed to have thil
disease.
Prompt action is necessary to pre-
vent grave loss.
