Prevent Dutch
Elm Disease By
Spraying Now
Dutch elm disease usually
shows up in the summer time;
but now is the lime to prevent
trouble.
“Every year the disease kills
many American elms, which are
among our finest shade trees,
says Dr. L. O. Weaver, plant
disease specialist at the Uni
versity of Maryland.
Leaves of infected trees, hs
says, suddenly wilt and sooner
or later the tree must be cut
down. Sometimes only part of a
tree is, infected, but it will
spread. The disease is carried
from tree to tree by a species
of bark beetle which was ac
cidentally introduced from
Europe about 35 years ago.
A revised, Univ. of Maryland
bulletin outlines three steps in
control sanitation, spraying,
and-tree vigor.
Sanitation, which means the
destruction of dead and dying
elm wood, is the most important
step in preventing the spread of
Dutch elm disease Such wood
is the breeding place of bark
beetles Prune broken and in
jured limbs, remove dead trees
promptly and burn the wood
immediately.
Spraying to be effective,
should be done before growth
starts in the spring. Bark bee
tles will begin to feed in April
or May, and spraying should be
done before they being spring
activity. Coat all bark on limbs
and trunk with eithei DDT or
methoxychlor.
Fertilize and water trees dur
ing dry seasons to give them
enough vigor to fight off the
attacks of bark beetles.
