SEVERAL DISEASES THREATEN
AMERICAN ELMS

'Shall we plant American elms?"
is question frequently asked by
people who wish to plant more
shade trees around their homes. In
answering this question, Paul Til
| ford of the Botany Department of
Ohio Agricultural Experiment Sta
| ton advises home owners to remem-
| ber that it takes years for an elm to
develop it's maximum beauty and
usefulness as shade tree. If elms
are likely to be killed in few years
| by disease, it would not, Of course,
| be advisable to plant more of them.
| The American elm is such a beauti-
/ full tree, however, and fits into
street, park, and private paintings
so well that people do certainly
want to plant it if the chances for
survival are good Only by consid-
I ering the threats to the American
! elm and the locations in which they
| occur, can the shade tree planter
| make his final decision.
Phloem necrosis. a virus disease
has killed thousands of elms in cen
trail and southern Ohio and in the
Ohio river valley in adjoining
states. This disease has been espec
tally serious in the vicinities of Co
lumbus, Chillicothe, Dayton, Gin
cinnati, Macarthur and Gallipolis. 1t
has not been found in Ohio north of
a point about 10 miles south OF
Marion Phloem necrosis is con-
sidered serious threat to Amer
lean elms in the part Of the state
where it occurs No control mea-
sures are known at the present time.
The Dutch elm disease was found
in Cleveland and Cincinnati in
1880. These areas have been thor
oughly secuted at different times
since and no additional diseased
trees have been found in Cincin-
natl and none in Cleveland since
1885. A total of 10 diseased trees
has been located near Athens dur
ing the past three years and one at
Hockingport The only known CEN
ter of infection at the present time
is in the Athens region. All known
diseased trees have been destroyed
by federal authorities.
Elms are also subject to wilt
and to a die-back disease. Although
these two diseases are found in all
sections of Ohio, they are not con-
sidered serious threats to large
numbers of elm trees. They are
often serious to the individual tree
that is attacked, but even then there
is a chance for control by pruning
out the diseased parts and stimu-
lating growth by fertilization.
When the threats and danger
regions are considered. it seems per-
fectly safe to advise the planting of
elms in northern Ohio. There is no
known disease in this section that
is likely to kill large numbers of
trees. In central and southern
Ohio. however, the advisability OF
planting many American elms in
the sections where phloem necrosis
occurs is questionable. Certainly
in these locations only a small per-
centage of the important shade
trees to be planted should be elms.

mopolitan Magazine. Miss Mcbride
points out that even a coat of arms
may not be such haul for ambitious
aristocrats since there used to be a
custom of peddling these symbols of
Identification around the streets in
Boston. That was quite long time
ago, but there is always a chance
that family traced back no further
than its American advent may show
a coat of arms to which it is not
entitled.
Most of the zeal for tracing an
cestry comes from those people who
are ambitious to join certain patri-

PESTS REDUCE
BERRY CROPS
Checking Necessary to Find
Clipper" Weevil in Straw
berries to Prevent Loss
USE OF ARSENATE DUST

Although strawberry crops on
many Delaware farms have been
reduced as much as from 20 to 100
per cent by activities of the straw
berry weevil during the past three
seasons, John M. Amos, assistant
entomologist of the Delaware Ag-
ricultural Extension Service, says
that probable damage by weevils
this year is expected to be much
less. This prediction is based on
work done during May and June of
last year. Inspection was made of
cutoff buds in which grubs of the
weevils develop. Hot, dry weather
at that time caused the death of a
large percentage of the grubs.
Most of the weevils that did live
were small and stunted so that
they We're less likely to survive the
winter. Besides this, they prob
ably will not be able to lay as
many eggs this spring because
they did not develop normally. The
adult form Of this insect is a beetle
which cuts off the strawberry buds
when laying eggs and is known
among strawberry growers as the
slipper. Growers are warned
that the prediction for less Weevil
activity this spring is merely an
indication. They are advised to
watch their paintings for appear
ance of the weevils. If the beetles
start their egg-laying, an applica-
tion of an 85-15 sulfur-lead arsen-
ate or sulfur-calcium arsenate dust
should be made when three per
cent of the buds are cut. This
should be followed by another ap-
plication of the dust a week later.
If it rains after the dust has been
put on the plants, the job will
have to be done over. But no dust
should be applied later than three
weeks before harvest due to dan
ger of residues on fruit. The only
other way to fight this pest is to
kill grubs by plowing under old
strawberry beds as soon as the
harvest of early varieties is over.

sented by Frank A. Schaedel, man.
ager. and William 1. Boyd, field
man. who stated their desire to as
sist in every way possible in de-
veloping the program for higher
quality tomatoes in this county.
Claude E. Phillips, assistant agron-
omist at the University of Della
ware. discussed the use of lime in
growing tomatoes and the practic-
al application of the soil tests
which are being conducted by the
Delaware experiment station in or
der to determine the lime and fer
tiliZer requirements of these fields.
Mr.. Phillips also outlined the to-
mato experimental plots which are
being carried on this year on the
Frank w. Richardson farm in CO.
operation with Libby, MCNEIL &
Libby for the purpose of determin-
ing those cultural practices which
will result in more and better to-
matoes per acre. In connection
with this tomato work, the import
ance of farmers keeping cost of
production records to determine
those factors which influence profit
and loss in growing a tomato crop
was explained by Kenneth w. Bak-
er. extension economist at the Uni
versity of Delaware. Each coop
orator will be provided with a
blank form on which to keep these
tomato production cost and yield
records, and a summary of these
records will be made at the end of
