In view of the finding of a considerable number of trees infected with the 
Dutch elm disease (Graphium Uimi) in the Slates of New .Jersey and New 
York and of the collection of one or more specimens of the same disease in 
Ohio and Connecticut, it seems advisable that shade tree commissions, foresters, 
state plant quarantine officers, and others interested, be given an opportunity 
to discuss the status of the infection, the progress of suppressive activities, 
means of preventing the spread of the infection to other areas, and the pre- 
vention of its permanent establishment in the regions now involved. 
Accordingly a conference to consider these subjects is hereby called to meet 
at Id a.m. on October 2d. in the auditorium of the Interior Department 
Building, Eighteenth and F Streets NW., Washington, D.C. All those interested 
in the protection of the elm trees of the United States from the spread of 
this disease are invited to be present and join in the discussion.
