In the two years work no facts have yet been obtained which would
indicate the advisability of any change in our present method of
“cutting out” diseased trees and thorough cleaning of the stumps
for the eradication of the disease. A number of tracts where the
disease has been eradicated by Commission employees have again been
inspected recently, giving results, which are in the main, favorable.
Of course, improvements have been made as to details all along. It
is not a pleasant prospect to consider the serious results likely to
follow after this method of eradicating the disease, conducted by the
Commission, is obliged to cease.
