DISEASE THREATENS ELMS OF DARTMOUTH CAMPUS

Dartmouth's famous shade trees are suffering from a serious infection which is unknown, but which resembles nectria a disease fatal to certain trees, according to Dr. G. E. Stone, the foremost tree pathologist of the country, who has been called in consultation. Dr. Stone has declared that the trees may be saved by careful treatment, but that the large elm in front of the Administration must be cut within a short time.

Experts from the F. A. Bartlett Co., of Stamford, Conn., have been cutting out the infected areas and filling them with a recently discovered substance known as Nuwud. This material is made up of wood flour and it is hoped that its injection into the trees may save them.

Dr. Stone expressed his opinion that in spite of the infection Dartmouth has the best shade trees on its campus of any college in the country.
