The three principal causes of the weakening and dying of white oak trees in this region are preventable and on many estates visited, the trees were found to be in a high state of vigor, with large dark green leaves and excellent twig growth for the seaâ€" son. In many cases specimen trees were pointed to with pride by the suâ€" perintendent as a tree which had been in a weakened condition only one or two years ago. Thursday, September 25, 1930 for part of the loss of oak trees in this section, there was no evidence obtained that such was the case. / In certain trees a ‘small area of the cenâ€" ter of the base of the tree was found to be .decaying. This type of ‘decay resu)ts when the tap root dies and in the specimens examined, the amount of decay was very slight and of no importance in so far as affectâ€" ing the health of the tree. The lateral roots were found to be healthy. Even though these examples. of healthy white oaks on certain properâ€" ties are abundant enough to prove conclusively that care will make healthy trees of those that are now in very low vigor, the opinion is all too prevalent in this district that it does not pay to spend much effort on the white oaks. Many trees are being sacrificed needlessly and at greater expense where replacements are made than it would cost to keep them in healthy condition. 7 : An additional fact was noted durâ€" ing this study. In the laying out of new properties, serious difficulties are encountered in keeping the oaks alive. It is not surprising that trees more or less in the balance as to their reâ€" maining alive are so seriously inâ€" jured when landscaping is attempted. If, for example, the water table is lowered or raised, or if the land is cleared of undergrowth and the soil disturbed, the oaks in this region may die within a year, while under more favorable conditions there would be no harmful results. Preparing the trees before such landscaping operaâ€" tions are begun so that the trees are brought into a state of health is the only ‘way to avoid this difficulty, The measures of controlling starvaâ€" tion by feeding and of spraying for the oak scale and anthracnose are not new or experimental. _ They have been used extensively in other parts of the country as well as on a few estates in the Chicago region.: The program for cak trees in this region should include feeding with a well balanced tree food, spraying with a good dormant oil spray and two apâ€" plications of Bordeaux mixture in the spring. The first of the foliage sprays should be applied when the first leaves are about half grown and the second application should be made about two weeks later. If anâ€" thracnose is epidemic, one or two more applications of Bordeaux may be needed.
