(Rtetsrer 1 Tribune Syndicate, IS (S3 1 r But There Wai the Enemy That Couldn't Be Defeated On each side of the village street grew the great white elm trees, their branches forming an arch that cast grateful shade; they lent an incomparable element of grace and beauty to the avenue and the town. Those fortunate folks who walked this shaded street, and those that visited the city, quickly admitted the distinctive beauty of the ma jestic elm trees. In the spring the elms as sumed an interesting appear ance because of the dense clusters of flowers that almost covered every limb and twig. Then a little later flat, round, winged seeds replaced the red flowers; at the same time the green leaves unfolded, and the tree prepared itself for sum mer. The white elm was uni versally admired for its grace and beauty at every season of the year; it was one of the most beautiful of trees. Subject To Fungus Unfortunately, all majestic elms were, and are, subject to a fungus infection called the "Dutch elm disease." The dis ease was first noticed in Hol land in 1919, hence the name. By 1930 trees in North Amer ica developed the characteris tic wilting of foliage and eventual death. In advanced cases a great elm tree can die in four weeks. Usually, wilting begins in the younger leaves and ad vances down the branches. In some instances only individu al branches show the yellow ing. In these trees death may be postponed as long as two years, but however long the delay, the tree is doomed. Of some lesser importance than the fungus of Dutch elm disease are a host of insect en emies, all of which seem to find the American, white, or other species of elm tree a suitable place for. their eggs, or as a feeding ground for their larva. The list of insects attacking the elm is long . . . the cankerworm attacks the trees early in the season. In dry weather the elm-leaf beetle is a serious pest. The bagworm, the webworm and the Japanese beetle invade the leaves. In the bark of the elm may be working the elm bor er, a small beetle, but usually in considerable numbers. Insect Carriers Any insect damage to the elm tree weakens it, and pre disposes it to the fungus of the Dutch elm disease, which of course will probably cause its death. It is also suspected that some insects are carriers of the fungus. So far the only corrective measure offering a check of the fungus is total destruction of the infected tree by burning. As has happened in many areas where the elm trees were dying by the dozens, a heavy spraying program was organized in the village with the great white elms. In many areas the amount of poison has been more of a flood than a spray, resulting in the death of nearly all bird life. Justi fication for this has been the choice between birds or trees, with the argument that bird life will re-establish itself to normal proportions in a few years, while it would take at least a quarter of a century to reproduce the trees. To spray on a wholesale scale has been the decision in many areas, in many towns and cities where the majestic, vase-like trees were growing. Hie wholesale spraying began in our village, and continued. Insect-eating birds died of course, but the residents were reasonably happy, believing the drastic measures saved their elms. But there was another en emy" stalking the land, an enemy from which there is no escape. It was decided to widen the city street, to make quicker the hurrying humans who were probably not going anywhere. So, the majestic elms had to go. They were in the way.
