FELDHOUSEN DRUG PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA LINCOLN Community dlag. nostlc centers manned by vol unteers are saving Nebraska thousands of dollars In the de tection of Dutch Elm disease as It moves across the State. "The success of the Initial community diagnostic centers is overwhelming," says Dr. John Welhlng, Extension plant path ologist at the University of Ne braska. Members of the NU Depart ment of Plant Pathology con ceived the Idea of community di agnostic centers several years ago. When Dutch Elm disease reached the borders of the State In 1962, a Dutch Elm Disease Training School was held at the College of Agriculture for volun teers from several communities. Following the training school last winter, diagnostic centers were established at Lincoln, Hastings, Nebraska City, Peru and Omaha. Each center is manned by a local person who attended the NU training school. Local schools and colleges have made costly equipment avail able for laboratory detection of Dutch Elm disease. Dr. Weihlng reports that there Is Interest in establishing a diag nostic center at Papilllon and In several other communities. Re quests already have been re ceived for a training school on Dutch Elm disease at the Col lege of Agriculture this fall or winter. Members of the NU De partments of Plant Pathology and Entomology are cooperating In the Dutch Elm disease educa tional program. "The fact that a community has a diagnostic center Is a dis tinct advantage in that local people have Immediate diag nostic assistance and recom mendations," Dr. Welhlng points out. It gives th2 community the ability to forcefully handle a problem which would otherwise be directed from a state level, thus diluting the effectiveness that is obtained by personal con tact at the local level. "We hope that 50 Dutch Elm disease diagnostic centers can be established in Nebraska to aid in the detection and control of this disease," says Dr. Welh lng. The NU educational program on this disease began in 19t3, long before the disease reached Nebraska. The program was di rected toward the Reneral public as well as foresters, county agents, and arborlsts. Orville Hatcher, Omaha city forester, made the first isolation of Dutch Elm disease in Ne braska. A single tree was found In 1960 and was quickly re moved. "The early detection and re moval, undoubtedly had a favor able effect since three years passed before Dutch, Elm dis ease was found again in Omaha," according to Dr. Welh lng. Diagnostic centers at Nebras ka City and Pcnj isolated Dutch Elm fungus from suspicious trees in Nebraska City and in Nemaha County In mid-June this year. The alert efforts of people manning these centers, along with excellent Isolation proced ures, gave llieni an early and putative Mtui I in the development of appropriate Dutch Elm dis ease control programs. Persons who are in charge of local diagnostic centers have had training in the isolation of Dutch Elm fungus from diseased trees. This training is necessary since the disease symptoms are similar to other disease prob lems. Identification of the dis ease by symptoms alone could lead to an error In diagnosis, particularly when the disease has not been present. The NU Dutch Elm Training Schools also include develop ment of control programs In re lation to the size of the city or community where the disease has become a problem. The par ticipants who return to set up di agnostic centers will be Invalu able to their communities In con ducting diagnosis and In advis ing local residents interested in control measures. Tree planting following a Dutch Elm epidemic also Is dis cussed at the training schools. This Information was presented by foresters at the University. Dr. Weihlng explains that some of our waterways are heavily nrinnl'i tnrl hv pirns ntiH it-hen these trees are suddenly lost,! these waterways may be subject to severe erosion unless new plantings are made quickly. Communities in which the dis ease has been positively identi fied should arrange to institute a full control program. This In volves removing and burning dead elm trees or branches. Dead elm wood should be burned and trees should be pruned to destroy breeding places for the elm bark beetle which transmits the disease. Robert E. Roselle, NU Exten sion entomologist, says that spraying to control the elm bark homes, are available from your local lumber dealer. The home will be completely decorated and furnished, and ' fully-equipped with modern gas! appliances. Among the newest gas developments to be featured are a gas solar-flo patio heater, i gasgrill for patio cooking and gas ! torches and lights. Other appli- j ances include gas range, gas re-) frigerator, gas water heater, gas dishwasher, gas fireplace, gas central air-conditioning and gas duomatic washer-dryer. The home Is being built under the sponsorship of the Blue Flame Gas Association, the Ne braska Lumber Merchants Asso ciation and Gold's of Nebraska. Blue Flame Gas Association members are Kansas-Nebraska Natural Ga.s Co., Metropolitan Utilities District, Natural Gas Distributing Co., Nebraska Na tural Gas Co., Northern Natural Gas Co., Northwestern Public Service, Peoples Natural Gas Co., and Western Power and Gas Co. Arranging LINCOLN "Maybe you're one of those lucky people born with a natural feeling for artistic flower arrangement. If not and most of us aren't o you can learn," says Magdalene Pmter, Extension home furnish ing specialist at the University of Nebraska. "It's fun to de velop that artistic touch which always adds charm, color and cheer," she continued. Your container is the base and heaviest part in your picture and should be kept so. Anything from a vase or bowl to a bread pan will do. The main thing is that they hold water, Miss Pfis ter pointed out. There is no limit to the height of an arrangement, but the ac cepted scale Is that the height of the flowers or greens should be one and one-half times the height of the va.se, according to the specialist. To make flowers last longer, cut them the morning or evening before you plan to use them. -Cut partly-opened buds and ( your color will be better and flowers will last longer. Miss Pfister recommends that stems be cut On an angle. Change the water everyday, and keep flowers out of direct . sunlight and out of drafts. "To make the flowers stay in place, use one of the many kinds of frogs needle-point, glass block, wire basket or hair pin. For vases or baskets, use a piece of chicken wire fencing -, squeezed into a ball," she ad vised. "Keep flower arrangements in balance. Have the lightest colors and buds at the top and the heaviest flowers and colors at' the bottom. You can more fully appreciate the beauty of nautre J when you arrange flowers," Miss Pfister concluded. " day beetle at this time Is not as ef fective as spraying hi the spring before elm trees leaf out. He suggests spraying with DDT or metnoxychlor while the trees are dormant. The spray should be applied with power equip ment. Trees should not be sprayed unless the disease has been positively identified In the ; area.
