Beetle Threatens to Kill the Elms
A beetle spreading from Maryland to North Carolina and New York threatens American elms. The elm beetle, first seen in Baltimore, defoliates trees and destroys new leaf growth. It hibernates in winter, lays about 500 eggs per female, and larvae mature in 30 to 15 days. Spraying with lead arsenate or disparene is advised, early in full leaf, though not fully effective after a few weeks.
