38 BULLETIN 360, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 



In point of quality and quantity the seed-producing capacity of 

 trees suppressed by mistletoe is far below that of normal uninfected 

 trees. 



Mistletoe can be controlled. It is suggested that a beginning may 

 be made in its eradication or in the reduction of the ravages caused 

 by these parasites by working along the lines indicated in the last 

 section of this bulletin.
