As heretofore, all field work has been conducted under the immediate
direction of the General Superintendent, Mr. S. B. Detwiler. In the
following statements some of the principal features of the work to date
are pointed out by him, and also suggestions given to timber owners who
may wish to clear their woods of blight on their own responsibility.
A statement in detail of the effectiveness of sanitation cutting in
controlling the blight, by Mr. Detwiler, is appended to this report.
