READY TO START
WAR ON BLIGHT

WEST CHESTER. Pa. Sept. 81
Robert Kohler and H. c. Williams,
representing the chestnut blight COM
mission VIII open up a campaign in
this section Of the county in the work
OF control of the chestnut blight dis
ease. They have opened headquar-
tiers here.
The chestnut blight is caused by a
fungus which grows In the bark Of
the tree. The fungus Is a parasite
and feeds on the trees sap, thus
using up tn trees nourishment and
also destroying the living cells of
the inner bark and the combian. In
old infections II also passes into the
sapwood. The nature of the disease
is to spread until the fungus has en-
tirely girdled the limb or branch in
fected, thus cutting off the nourish-
ment
When forest trees get the blight 1t
Is impractical 90 try TO save them.
After a tree is killed by the blight the
wood deteriorates very rapidly, thus
rendering the timber less valuable
for commercial use, but # the tree is
cut Immediately after the blight sets
in, II not only saves the timber, but
helps exterminate the blight
In ornamental trees that become
infected the diseased portions should
be cut out and Immediately destroyed
by burning. Il is advisable 10 pro-
tect all trees by an application such
as creosote. which should be followed
by a coating of tar or paint.
Similar efforts are being made in
each county Of the State to check the
spread Of this fatal disease, which is
devastating the forest tracts. The
advanced line OF the blight at the
present time in Pennsylvania is in
the region Of the Susquehanna river
In the north and further west and in
the southern part OF the State, but
the commission have il will under
control, in fact they have almost re-
lieyed the western portion of the
state of this devastating fungus.
The worst section of infection now
lies In the southeastern portion of
| the State and near the Delaware line
and the only remedy Ia in the hearty
cooperation OF the wood tract owners
with the commission.
10 is the purpose OF the commits
sion to educate the people TO detect
the disease. 10 inspect wood lots and
! show the owners typical infections
| and thus help them TO recognize the
disease.
