In the southern and eastern portions
of Ohio the condition known as a

The fungus. being wound parasite.

cases of slight attack the tree ulti-

To prevent infection from the blister

is done by covering the wound with
suitable dressing.
Prevention of infection and orchard

More than 1000 carloads of Wenat-

for some time the development of the

It is now generally believed actual

The plant of the Northwestern Elec-
