TWO DISEASES HIED IIOOSIEK ELM TREES

Many American elms have died in Indiana and neighboring states of two diseases known as phloem (flo-em) necrosis and Dutch Eln disease. No control was available in previous years, but today it may be controled by spraying with I>DT formulations to kill the insects by which the diseases arc spread. The diseases have been described and directions given for their control in a mimeograph circular. No. B. P. •>7, prepared by the botany and plant pathology and entomology departments of the Purdue Agricultural Experiment Station. The phloem necrosis is the most widespread and destrut live of the diseases and can b controlled by a spray in Jun

followed by another m August. Special equiisnent for spraying is necessary to reach the tops of large elms. The disease usually appears first daring the hot weather of mid-summer. The leaves wither and drop over a period of a few weeks. Only healthy trees should be sprayed to protect them from infection. Trees showing the disease cannot be saved. Tne Dutch elm disease Is controlled by spraying before the first leaves or flowers appear. Mimeograph U. P. 37 can be obtained from county agricultural officei or the Agricultural Extension Service at Purdue Universiti' Lafayette, Indiana. The cost of spraying Is relatively high but is well worth while in communities where valuable elms are dying.

Is Return of II# de Franco Symbol of Fronch Recovery? Special to Central Press

TyrASHlNGXON—The return of a French steamship to the AtW lanttc lanes as a luxury liner is looked upon here with hopeful eyes a* a harbinger that Europe may work out its economic crisis The ship Is the lie de France, which carried 626.000 troops during the war without incident, due chiefly to the liner s speed. With supreme effort, the French have restored the ship in an arfK re- tistic manner perhaps never surpassed. Scores of leading French designers and artists were engaged. All to obtain the precious American dol-

lar.

To realize what such an effort means, even as of today, one has to tour France. More than 477.200 buildings were completely wrecked during the war. and 1,363,000 others were badly damaged. Out of 26,875 miles of railway track merely 11,250 miles could be salvaged. Add 3.130 railroad bridges wrecked, 4,200 locomotives lost and 312,000 freight cars destroyed. Many of France's hotels were demolished—165.000 hotel rooms havIng been partially or completely destroyed. Ilff.l Tower, However, the greatest blow suffered by the Forlt, Franco French economy was in shipping. France, with1,875 miles of coastline, Is primarily a maritime nation. Many industries, especially the luxury trades, depend on foreign business. France lost 44 ships, totaling 322,000 tons, or 62 per cent, of her 1939 tonnage, in the war. Figures, however, cannot depict the tragic toll in personnel, nor the true extent of the economic damage, for the losses Included the majority of France's large merchant ships. The most notable example was the burning of the 83,000-ton Normandie, renamed the Lafayette, at New York after having been taken over by the United States for reconversion as a troop ship Surviving vessels, besides the lie de France, were the smaller liners Colombie and De Grasse. The De Grasse, while immuned in a French port under German occupation, was scuttled by the Nazis as defeat neared. However, the French raised^ the ship and put her into service In 1947 as the first example of thoir mettle. The De Grasse Is less than half the size of the 43,450-ton He de Franre. Another, even larger reconditioned vessel will join the French trans-Atlantic fleet next year—the Liberte, of 49,7-16 tons. The Liberie was the German liner Etiropa. alloted to the French when the few remaining German liners were parceled out under the armistice terms. Beyond the Joss in shipping, however, was the destruction of ports and facilities. In overcbming this the French have achieved their greatest success. No other nation had such complete port wreckage to face. Even today, behind the port facilities which have been restored. are the ruins of the waterfront towns. Reconstruction of the lie de France at St. Nazairc was performed against a background of rubble. The British did a remarkable job in restoring their great liners and completing new ones following the war, and they had to pull in their belts to do that, but their ports and shipyards were Intact. British The American tourist dollar, as lifeblood to dol- Restoration tar-starved countries, remains one of the chief hopes of economic chiefs In Washington and Remorkabla abroad. Thus the advent on July 26 of the lie de France at New York takes on an international significance. The He, smartly refashioned with two stacks now instead of three, is viewed as a symbol of what can be done, and the much more that must be done.
