The prospective drop was attri buted chiefly to a scarcity of mortgage money.

Henning, Infected oak trees and clumps of trees spotted from the air and eradicated by ground crews this past season total 398 compared with 660 in 1955. One reason assigned by Sec retary Henning to the decline is that the continuing eradica tion program over past sea sons has been successful. Wet weather conditions that pre vailed between last June and September could have caused less spread, he pointed out. Oak wilt has its highest con centration in the south central counties of the State, according to survey reports by the Depart ment’s Bureau of Plant Indus try. More than 95 per cent of the infection spots have been located in nine counties. Air survey activity was step ped up this season to 351 air plane flying hours, nearly 100 more than in 1955. Trained ob servers spotted diseased trees through Miage discoloration. Every county was inspected from the air at least once. Trees in every infection spot were cut down and the stumps treated, with chemicals to kill roots. No disease was found east of the Susquehanna River.- The spotting and eradication crews totaled 19 men, including students from the Mont Alto campus of the School DEARBORN REAR MOUNTED LOADER You can put the hand fork in the shed, the bottle of lini ment back on the shelf... this team takes the pain out of lifting and loading!
