Basic research Was done on leafhoppers, thrips, leafbettles, lepidopters, ftrftes and other important insects. \ Dutch elim disease was found in eleven Illinois counties in which it was undetected until this year. There was a, marked increase in the Chicago area. Increased public interest in saving the state's elms was indicated by the increase in requests , for technical information. More than 3,000 samples for identification of tree diseases were received by the Survey. The search for chemicals, including antibiotics, to control Dutch elm disease and oak wilt continued. Considerable success was reported in checking the spread of oak wilt in forest stands by poisoning arid destroying trees immediately surrounding diseased trees. In anothier study, the usefulness of the smallmouth bass and the warmouth bass as pond fish was demonstrated. One pond containing only smallmouth had an anglers' yield that ranged from 78 to 123 pounds per acre annually over a five-year period. In experimental lakes the warmouth showed no tendency to overpopulate. A meaty fish of good flavor the warmouth proved a desireable companion species for the largemouth bass in farm poinds. A Research program on rabies in wildlife in Illinois was initiated 'this year. Thirty thousand publications distributed by the Natural History Survey were requested by 10,000 persons during 1956. This is an increase of more than 50 per cent during 1956. This is an increase of more than 50 per cent in publications distributed and a 40 per cent increase in number of requests. • • Percent Change in Employment by Qccupationfj* (1955-1975) MINERAL PRODUCTIO --AH--formerproducing raw minerals broken in 1956 by an output valued at $606 million, according to the State Geological survey. This is $18 million above the 1955 production. Illinois produced oil last year valued "at $246 million, a nine million dollar gain over the preceding year. The increased flow of oil is attributed in part to thel discovery of new pools, and more largely to the widening use of waterflooding. In some instances the injection of water into the oil-bearing strata flushed out more oil than was originally obtained by ordinary flowing and pumpr ing methods. +51 % +38% Clerical Proprietors an and Sales Managers Craftsmen +40% + 28% -11% --30%, A ior were Operatives Service laborers $ Sowct: 1955: U.S. CaiuiM tunau, 1975: U.S. Dipl. of tabor •tfimafw Priporid by NAM iron Govt.
