\A1TH little publicity but lots Of energy,
w forestry experts of the Department Of
Agriculture are waging battle to save the elm
trees Of the United States from the fate which
has practically eliminated the chestnut in many
parts Of the country.
At some time in the past the dreaded Dutch
elm disease made its entry into this country
and potentially it threatens to wipe out the
elnns. Once tree becomes infected there is
nothing to do but cut 1t down. Like the jap
anese green beetle, worst of all insect pests, the
disease first made Its appearance in New Jersey
and has been found in many places In the East.
In less than a year the number Of elm trees
in this country found to have been infected with
the disease has jumped from 10 to ], ,480. Dur
ing the last Winter scouts of the department
discovered more diseased elms than they found
last Summer, largely because systematic scouting
did not begin until about September, when
public works allotment was made available.
The area in which infection is most menacing
includes the territory within radius Of 30 to
35 miles Of New York Harbor. How many more
than ! ,480 elms are infected will be brought out
by further scouting by the Bureau Of Ento-
mology this Spring and Summer. Most of the
diseased trees were found in New Jersey. In
New York infected trees so far number more
than 200. Only two have been discovered In
Connecticut. More than 100000 elms have been
examined.
At Cleveland and Cincinnati, where the first
infected trees were found in 1880, 1t Is hoped
Evening star., 1934-06-24
Dutch Elm Disease Fought

there are now no more cases Of the disease.
Only one infected elm was found last year and
only nine in four years.
Not every sick elm has the Dutch elm disease,
but elns with whiting, yellow or brown leaves,
accompanied by brown streaks in the young
wood, are under suspicion II any elm has any
of these symptoms, twigs which show the brown
streaks should be sent at once to the newly
established Dutch Elm Disease Laboratory, Room
2O7, Post Office Building, Morristown, N. J.
Small branches approximately &-inch In
diameter and inches long make a satisfactory
sample. A statement of the exact location Of
the tree should accompany each sample.
If clean cut is made across twig affected
with the Dutch elm disease a browniSh dis
coloration will be seen in the sapwood. In
general the discolored tissue does not form a
completely closed circle, but is made up OF
numerous small brown dots. If the bark is
peeled away and the sapwood exposed the dis
coloration is evident series of short, brown
streaks.
An insect, the smaller European bark beetle
probably spreads the disease from tree to tree.
but there may be other important ways OF
spreading it. If it were possible to eradicate
either all the infected trees or all the bark
beetles the spread of infection might cease.
The bark beetle, carrying spores Of the disease,
feeds preferably in the crotches Of tender elm
twigs. The fungus as it grows, travels up and
down the tree, probably reducing the sap how
through the affected parts Eventually it kills
the tree.-sla sl.lze+5 ,a 81 @'vH s't ~

Animal Bureau VitaI

fifty years ago, the Department of Agricul-
! ture set up bureau known as the Bureau
OF Animal Industry, destined to become one Of
the most important branches of the Govern
ment's service to the farmers. May % marked
the completion Of the half century of that work.
Among the accomplishments which have JUS
tilted the establishment Of the Bureau are the
discovery of a preventive treatment for hog
cholera, the greatest scourge to face the hog
raiser; the eradication Of tick fever in cattle IN
fully 80 per cent Of the area infested; eradica-
ton Of scabies In cattle and sheep over wide
areas, and the elimination Of bovine tubercu-
losis in 60 per cent Of the counties in the
United States.
Much Of this work was carried on only after
breaking down the superstition and resentment
of local groups which could not be convinced
that white-collar man from Washington could
tell them anything.
One of the most important duties of the bu-
reau is to establish and maintain quaraEtineS
when infectious diseases break out in live stock
and to guard the ports of entry against COM
tagion from foreign source.
Scientific work in animal husbandry has re-
suited in more eficient production of domestic
animals through research in genetics and the
production Of better types of live stock by im-
proved methods of selection. 90 ,@'

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. April TO-
U.P)-While home town friends of
John Dillinger were circulating a
petition asking that he be pardon
ed, state police officials today de-
manded cooperation of the public
in experimenting the notorious out
law.
The petition, containing rapid
ly growing list of signatures. is
making the rounds at Mooresville
where Dillinger spent much of his
youth and where his father still
resides.
1t urges that Gov. Paul v. Nc
Mutt issue a pardon on the condi-
ton that Dillinger surrenders to
the nearest legal authority and
agrees to abide by state laws and
discontinue association with GRIM
inalS.
Signers of the petition were crit
icized bitterly by AL G. Feeneyr
commissioner of state police.
He characterized the public atti-
tude toward Dillinger as anti-so-
cial. and said he could not under
stand why Dillinger's presence at
the farm home of his father April
8 was not reported by MooreSville
citizens.

JAPAN DENIES FORCE THREAT in

Toxic Spokesman Asserts Policy Intended

TOXIC, April 20. W.p) Japan

today as anxious to keep available
for all nations the commercial
"open door" to China, for whose
peace, he advised world powers, Ja-
pan assumes responsibility.
The foreign office spokesman
clarified and expanded his original
pronouncement of Japan's "hands
off China" policy, a pronounce
ment which caused great surprise
among foreign nations and brought
from China a challenge to any at
tempts to interfere in Chinese af-
fairs.
The spokesman was astonished
that world powers should have been
surprised at what he claimed was
reiteration of policy expressed
in parliament speech by Koki Hi
rota, foreign minister, recently.
I'm this case I mentioned in
stances which might make Japan's
position difficult" the spokesman
said. "I just added little water
