IOW i i HA LA What Is The Future of mm WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? Dutch Elm disease is progressing west ward across the United States and has now entered Iowa on the east and Kansas on the south. It is possibly in Southeastern Nebraska now. It will be In Plattsmouth very soon. ' WHAT IS DUTCH ELM DISEASE? Dutch Elm disease is a fungus infection that will kill most of the common kinds of elm trees that become infected. There is no cure. The tree will die. CAN DUTCH ELM DISEASE BE CONTROLLED? The disease is spread by a tiny bark beetle. It carries the fungus from infected to healthy trees on its body. It feeds on the twigs of the healthy elm trees. During feeding the fungus is rubbed into the feed ing wound and infects the tree. By controlling the beetle, we can con trol the disease. This is done by using both sanitation and timely spray applications. WHAT IS SANITATION? The bark beetles grow from eggs to adults in dead or dying elm wood and weakened elm trees. The females will not lay their eggs in any other material. By destroying these breeding places, we reduce the numbers of beetles that might spread the disease. This cleanup program includes the re moval of all dead and dying elm trees, the pruning of all dead or dying limbs from healthy trees and cleaning up piles of elm wood. It is just as dangerous as a dead tree since beetles will use it to lay their eggs. All elm wood should be destroyed by burning it immediately. WHEN TO SPRAY At the present time elm trees may be sprayed to reduce the beetle population but should not take precedence over sani tation. However, with the appearance of the disease it will be necessary that all elm trees be sprayed once a year before the leaves appear in the spring.

Discontinuance of these "money-losing trains," Dearmont said, does not imply any retreat from the railroad's repeatedly affirmed confidence in the fut- j ure of main line passenger tra vel where the potential warrants , tlie finest service at the lowest I possible cost. "Of course." he said, "we can't continue to operate trains that are not being patronized arid where the traffic potential i precludes any possibility of be ing built up to a break-even, much less profitable, basis. We firmly believe, however, that there is and will continue to be a need and remunerative mar ket for good main line passenger train service in many areas. That belief Is supported by the successes achieved with our low cost meals for coach passengers, expansion of the Family Travel Plan, our Thrift-T-Sleeper ser vice and other experimental fare reductions." Application to discontinue the trains will be made to the Inter state Commerce Commission. "Our decision to seek permis sion to discontinue these unpro fitable trains," Dearmont said In his announcement, "was pre ceded by careful studies and analyses of steadily declining re venues and mounting exponses and of the traffic potentials in the territories the trains served. We are justified, we believe, in trying to prevent the more than $160,000 annual out-of-pocket losses we have sustained In pro viding services that travelers no longer want or need." Recent purchase of four par lor cars was cited by Dearmont as further evidence of the Mis souri Pacific's continued inter est in the development of pas senger business. "We would not have done that if we did not in tend to stay in the passenger business." Otto Schafer, prominent far mer and stock man of near Ne hawka, was In the city Thursday to look after some business mat ters. Mr Schafer and sons are preparing to ship several of their purebred Angus bulls this week to the west part of the state for a sale. TREES? ! I . : . .
