PLANT IMP JRTATION
(
Under provisions of Federal Quarantine Number 37 certain limita-
tions are placed upon the importation of plants and seeds fr om foreign
V countries. Anyone wishing to irriport nursery, stock, plants, or seeds
i must first obtain a permit from the Bureau of Entomology a nd Plant ·
_ Quarantine, 209 River Street, Hoboken, New Jersey. I.n applying for
a permit to import plant material —the following information is required;
(a) The name and location of the producer from whom the plants or
‘ seeds are to be secured; (b) the name and adress of the person or firm
to which the seeds or plants are to be shipped; (c) the number and genus
of the plants or seeds for which the permit is desired.
h' All restricted plants imported under the Conditions listed above are
lixriited in size and age to the youngest and smallest which can be suc-
cessfully freed from soil about their roots, transported to the United
_ States, and established in this country Witha reasonable degree of suc-
. ‘ cess. Certain Classes of plants permitted entry under quarantine 37
are required to be grown by the importer under post entry i¤spe¢ii¤¤
regulations. Such plants are not released to the trade- until such time
f as their freedom from plant diseases and insect pests has been estab-
•· lished. The plants are therefore grown for one or more ye a r s in a
place where the state inspector may have access to them for inspection
purposes, for such time as appears necessary. When their freedom
from pests and diseases has been established, the plants under quaran-
1 tine are released,
OAK WILT
1
` A comparatively new disease, oak wilt (Whalara quercina Henry), _
is threatening all oaks in the midwest. The disease is caused by a
’ fungus organism that can be identified by plant pathologists in one—to
· two—year old vascular tissue from infected trees.
Varieties of the red and black groups seem to become infected
Q with oak wilt more readily than white and burr oats, although all
species and varieties of oaks are susceptible to the disease.
The first symptoms in the red and black oaks are shown by the
  appearance of leaves on the upper branches. They show dull lightgreen
. ‘ color and curl upward. Later the leaves may turn yellow or reddish
brown before falling. All leaves may fall within a month after first
symptoms occur. ln white and burr oaks the disease develops more
.. slowly, with one or more branches near the top showing disease
V symptoms first.
Spread of the disease from diseased to healthy trees within native
_ stands of oaks can occur through natural root grafts or unions. Itis
` not known to plant pathologists how the disease is spread from one
locality to another.
, Oak wilt is known to occur in Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
7 Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Pennsylvania, a nd
Wisconsin. Nurserymen, foresters, and all others interested in pre—

venting the loss of oaks should be on the alert for this trouble. Samples
of twigs from oaks showing symptoms of the disease should be sent to i
the National Oak Wilt Research Committee, P. O. Box 373, Memphis,
Tennessee.
Six twigs or branches about 6 to 8 inches long and 1/2 to 1 inch in p
diameter are best for laboratory examination. The twigs should be alive
or just recently dead but not completely dry. Do not send leaves, dead _
branches or decayed wood. The twigs should be tied in a bundle, wrap-
ped inpaper soas to prevent excessive drying but should not be wrapped eh
in wet moss or cotton. Labels should be attached in such a manner as
to couple the laboratory report with the tree from which the twigs were
taken.

One oak tree infected with oak wilt disease was found in Greenup
county, Kentucky, during the summer of 1951. The diseased tree was
destroyed, in approved manner, in order to prevent spread of trouble to _·
healthy trees.

Inspection andtrapping activities were continued during the summer
of 1953 in a special effort to find the exact limits of the beetle infested
areas in the counties of Jefferson, Greenup, Kenton and Campbell. The f
Jefferson county infested area was found to involve a few additional city
blocks east of Logan street between Broadway and Winter streets. In
Greenup county the beetles were found over the same area as the previ- A,
ous year with a few more beetles in the vacant lots in the town of Wor-
thington and less in the town of Russell. The Kent0n—Campbell county
area had showed little increase over 1952 and consisted primarily of iso-
lated spots involving a few city blocks each. '
Two DDT foliage sprays were applied to all infested areas in the a-
bove four counties. The sprays were applied at about ten day intervals, y
starting the last week in June and ending the third week in July. In ad- V
dition to the foliage sprays the infested areas in Jefferson, Kenton and
Campbell counties were treated with a surface-soil application of DDT.
It was not found practical to apply soil treatment to the area in G
