W. Anderson of the University of Illinois and Dr. W. H. Rankin, chief pathologist of the Bartlett Tree Reâ€" wearch laboratories, Stamford, Conn., are combined in this pamphlet. Extensive Observation * Observations were made over a|" wide area in the three days spent on the study and several trees were cut down to determine the condition of the roots and .trunk. It was apparent | that the white oaks in this district rarcly attain large size. After reachâ€" ing the size of twelve to twenty inchâ€" es in diaimeter, they regularly show signs of decline and starvation. The clay soil is undoubtedly responsible for this condition of low vigor, for it was noted that the root. system spread only a few feet from the base of the trunk. A dying of the top branches, known as stagâ€"head, is a common result of the weakened conâ€" dition. In addition to the low vigor and reâ€" sulting . stagâ€"head, two important pests of the white oak were found to be prevalent. One of these is the sceale insect, asterolecanium varioloâ€" sum commonly known as the pit formâ€" ing golden oak scale, and the other a fungus discase known as oak leaf and twig blight. The golden oak scale anid the fungus disease were found to| be commonly severe on the same| trees. They seem to thrive together and it is believed‘ that the scale inâ€" sect is probably the primary cause of injury and leads to more abundant infection of the leaf and twig blight fungus.> This increased severity of the fungus on the seale infested trees is likely due to the fact that the twig canker stage is favored and thus a larger amount of the fungus is carâ€" tied over winter ready to infect the leaves. On trees not severely damâ€" aged by the scale, the twig canker stage was not abundant. This fungus disease is epidemic in some seasons and causes wide spread defoliation of white oaks. This was true in this section in 1928, but this season only a scattering infection is present and this mainly on the scale injured larger ar ried over leaves. . aged by trees Specimens submitted to Dr. W. P. Flint, chief entomoligist at the Uniâ€" versity of Illinois, were identified as the pic forming golden oak scale. He states that this scale insect causes serious injury when present in relaâ€" tively small numbers and is one of the most serious factors in weakening trees in the northern Illinois region.
