Soybean disease hasn't been too
serious a problem this year, but
the Ohio Experiment Station works
on the problem just the same. A

Fritz Schmitthenner and Leonard

Mr.. Grimm said.
DR.. Young's statement said:
The Dutch elm disease is now
causing tremendous losses Of elm
throughout the state Of Ohio. 1t
was discovered in Ohio in 1890,
although it was known TO have ex-
listed in eastern United States for
few years before that. The Dutch
elm disease was imported into this
country on elm logs which were
used by our lumber industry as a
veneer product.
The first symptoms of Dutch elm
disease attack is the yellowing of
leaves on small branches which
gradually increases until the entire
tree is affected. Also, the disease
can be diagnosed at this time by
clipping off these twigs and peel
ing the outer bark back and observ-
ing the darkened streaks that oc-
cur in the vessels. Since there are
other diseases of elms that are not
so serious, it might be we'll to send
specimens to the Experiment Sta
ton for definite diagnosis before
destroying a beautiful shade tree.
PhIoem Necrosis
There are two serious elm di-
Seases in Ohio = the Dutch elm
disease which occurs throughout
Ohio and the phloem necrosis di-
sease which occurs in the southern
two-thirdS of the state. This latter
disease is caused by a virus and is
spread by leaf-hoppers. The synp-
toms are somewhat different in
that with phloem necrosis the di-
SeaSe appearance is sudden and oc-
ours as general yellowing fol
lowed by complete deWoliation.
The present general control mea-
sures apply about eauallysto both
diseases.
Control Measures
The control measures now avail
able for both Dutch elm and
phloem necrosis are rather made
quate. The first one recommended
is the elimination of diseased trees
as promptly as possible. When a
tree has died it is important to cut
it down and if possible burn it
nearby. If not possible to burn it.
drag 1t to place that it might be
destroyed. Perhaps the most i'm
portant time to destroy these di-
seased trees is in the fall or winter
before the carrying insects emerge
or have a chance to emerge. In
northern Ohio, this emergence be-
gins to take place in the last half
of April or early May, depending
somewhat on the season. In order
that the healthy trees are thor
oughly protected, it is recommend
ed that the first spray 60 on in
early April or before leaves appear.
Then, second spray should fol-
low in late May.
The material recommended for
this spray is DOT emulsion in oil.
The formulation of the material is
rather complex. 1t is possible that
any commercial dealer could make
UP the concentrate for general use.
Tree specialists can usually fur.
niSh this formulation also. The for.
mutation to insist on is a prepare.

expected.
Roger will be in a body cast

and from the bone bank) holds,
he'll be in brace for year and
a half, after which he should be
able to lead a normal life. The
Fettermans' hope to move him
home in a few weeks, via ambu-
lance, but in the meantime a card
