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.
