Oak Wilt Detected in Northern West Virginia Foresters to Survey
Dr. R P True of West Virginia University reports oak wilt, caused by chalara quercina, found in a Morgan town tree. A state-wide survey will test forests this month and next, with cautions against hysteria that could prompt reckless clear cutting by unprincipled operators. Foresters from Beckley to Princeton will participate, aiming to map infestations and control spread.

Restore by placing in a household refrigerator for 48 hours before use or between two damp towels for several hours.
