No Evidence of Maple Trees Here Being Ali.
 fected By Disease

No seriously diseased maple trees have been noted in Waterbury dur. ing the past few weeks, although botanists of the Connecticut Agri. cultural Experiment Station report that numerous wilting and browned maple trees have been noted throughout the state.
 Superintendent of Parks James J. Curtin stated that no instances of diseased trees had been called to his attention. The agricultural ex- pertinent station reported that the condition of the trees throughout the state might be due to one of three causes, sun scorch, Anthro- chose, or e disease called maple wilt. The latter is the most deadly of the three. and the only remedy Is surgical.
