e 1977
There has been no increase in the number of American elms being killed by
Dutch elm disease and phloem necrosis disease (See Figure). Two reasons are
responsible for the low incidence; (1) the effective removal of diseased elms
by villagers; and (2) the reduced number of elms which now makes it difficult
for the disease to be spread from tree to tree. The projection and hope is
that this trend in the reduced loss of elms will continue.
Again, I want to thank the villagers for their fine cooperation and
patience in our effort to keep the Village environment beautiful and safe.
