Dl TCH ELM DISEASE ERADICATION 
GENERAL STATUS 
Several localized sections in Now Jersey and Connecticut heavily 
infected with the Dutch elm disease accounted for a sizable increase 
in the comparative number of infected trees discovered during the 
year. Intensive elm-sanitation operations in these infection centers 
bave destroyed the trees in which tremendous numbers of dm bark 
bettles, carriers of the disease, were hibernating. Elms infected with 
the disease were found in Pennsylvania for the first time in July 1938. 
Sporadic infection- were discovered in additional towns in Dutchess 
County, X. Y.. and in a number of town- in Orange and Ulster Coun-

Surveys in State- remote from the main infected area failed to dis- 
close a single new infection center. There was also no recurrence 
of the disease at Baltimore and Cumberland, Md.. Norfolk and Ports- 
mouth, Ya.. or Cincinnati and Cleveland. Ohio, where infected, trees 
had been destroyed in previous years. Diseased trees found at out 
lying points were limited to L9 scattered cases in the Indianapolis, 
Ind.. area, 1 cast- in the Athon-. Ohio, territory, and a single infec- 
tion at Wiley Ford. W. Ya. 
Enforcement of the embargo on the movement of elm material from 
the infected territory listed in the regulations supplemental to Quar- 
antine Xo. 71 continued during the year.
