 talk on fungus diseases of trees. Mr. 

 Scherer first outlined what fungus is. fol- 

 lowing with the life history of the chestnut 

 leaf blight, elm tree twig and branch fun- 

 gus, and fungus which attacks other parts 

 of trees. Spraying with fungicides as a 

 preventative before July 1 was considered 

 by Mr. Scherer as the best treatment for 

 leaf fungus or rust ; for other eradication 

 and sterilization of all infected parts, or 

 trees, and planting of species immune from 

 attack of the disease. The birch and hickor\- 

 tree borer was discussed and the ravages 

 it is making throughout the country with 

 no preventative in siglit to help combat the 

 pest. A rising vote of thanks was tendered
