OAK WILT JOINS GROWING NUMBER OF TREE KILLERS Oak wilt is a fungus disease that affects all kinds, of oaks that grow in the midwest and some other trees in the oak family: tan oak, chinquapin, Spanish c h e s t n u t , Chinese chestnut and American chestnut. In Illinois it is prevalent in the northern and western counties and occurs in scattered areas through the eastern and southern counties. Oak wilt causes losses that are both aesthetic and economical. It has killed many shade trees along streets and on home grounds. It has killed numbers of larire trees and reduced the recreational value of parks. Oak wilt may anpear any time from the middle of June until frost occurs in the fall. Trees occasionally show wilt in May and early June. On red and black oaks leaves turn bronze to brown and curl upward alone the margins. These symptoms appear first at the tips of the leaves and progress toward the bases. The «tems of the leaves become blackened. Leaf symptoms appear first at the top of the tree or the tios of lateral branches. Thev raoidly progress downward and inward until they in- "olve the entire tree. Frenuent- 'v trees in late stores of the disease put out suckers on the branches and tnjinks, but this growth soon wilts. On some red and black oaks killed by oak wilt during the summer, mats of fungus develop between the bark and wood. These fungus mat can be found" most frequently in late fall, winter and spring on dead trees that have loosening bark. The mat consists of a sparse to den^e felt-like mass, li^ht to dark ernvish tan in color with its surface usuallv dotted with droplets of water. It is cmsed by a parasitic functus. Oak wilt spreads in at lmst two w»vs. throueh graftroots and through the air. Infected red and black odks mfup^v die in one growing season. Trees infected in late summer rrav Vaf out the following sprint but thev die short- 'v thereafter. White and bur oaks nersist longer, usually liv- :n" for several years. No treatment is known that will cure oak wilt. No red or black has beeri known to recover from the disease. Some white and bur oak showing lofvdizin" branch infections have not wilted in succeeding ve^rs ^f'er remoi'^1 of the affected ^ranches. IT owever. pruned • re««5 cpn become reinfected. After the disease has become established in an area, the spread of the fundus appears to be predominantly through grafted roots. Healthy trees mav be protected by trench cut tine the grafted roots with « trenching machine or by hand. To prevent spread of the fun'nis through the air. dis-1 °nsed trees should be cut and Nurned. This will rcduce the rtneps of the fundus bein** carried to he»l+bv oaks by such ^ertts as wind, insects, and other animals. Women of the Moose Tuesday evening, Aug. 18, was quite a success.
