Storms blamed for surge in Dutch Elm disease in Des Moines
Des Moines officials say recent windstorms have worsened Dutch Elm disease by scattering infected elm wood across northern and eastern Iowa. City forester Harold Hodkinson urges burning dead wood to remove beetle nesting habitat and advises fall spraying with DDT to curb beetles. The city offers free testing of five to seven day twig samples from suspected trees at 528 SW Sixth Avenue, with a five cent return fee.
