Vapam Past First Two Trees Inelm root graft barriers urged
Ames root graft transmission of Dutch elm disease continues to take a heavy toll on Iowa elms says A H Epstein extension pathologist at Iowa State University. Barriers to prevent spread can be trenching or by injecting Vapam soil fumigant into the soil. If barriers are not yet in place, root graft transmission to adjacent elms likely has occurred and barriers should be installed beyond the first and second adjacent trees. Healthy adjacent trees should be checked for signs of transmission before deciding barrier location.

Divide Family Room So Each Has His Share
A practical approach from the Tile Council suggests dividing a family recreation room into three equal zones. One area stores Mom’s sewing machine and chairs, another houses Dad’s books and seating, and the third houses the children’s hobby table and game storage. If space allows, a fourth shared area can include a sofa, TV, and possibly a pool or ping pong table for informal family use.
