Control Of The Chestnut Bark Disease

Excerpt from The Control of the Chestnut Bark Disease Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith and to recommend for publication as a Farmer's Bulletin a manuscript entitled "The Control of the Chestnut Bark Disease," by Dr. Haven Metcalf, Pathologist in Charge, and Prof. J. Franklin Collins, Forest Pathologist, of the Office of Investigations in Forest Pathology. The writers describe their method of restricting the spread of this dangerous disease by destroying advance infections, a method which is already being applied on a large scale by the State of Pennsylvania. It is hoped to perfect plans whereby through general cooperation the disease may be kept within the territory where infection is already general and the largest and best chestnut forests of the country, especially those of the south Appalachians, be kept permanently free from the disease. The experimental data upon which the recommendations contained in this publication are based will be published in full in a forthcoming bulletin of the Bureau of Plant Industry.

Excerpt from The Chestnut Bark Disease: Where Found in Massachusetts; How to Tell the Disease; Methods of Control; Trees Should Be Utilized Before They Die The chestnut bark disease was first recognized as a serious disease in the vicinity of New York City in 1904. Its origin is unknown, but there is some evidence that it was imported from the Orient with the Japanese chestnut. It is certain that it has now spread into at least 10 States.
