The iiiiiiicrous [»apers and tlic discussions tlitTCon contain many new and valuable ideas. It is believed that the ultimate worth of the Conference Avill lie in the fact that it brought home to the east- ern United States tiu; truth concerninjj;- a most serious tree dis- ease, and started discussions and a ne^v trend of thought which must evolve real benefit for the whole people. If the Conference can produce a better understanding and higher appreciation respecting the value of trees, and of one tree in particular, its calling will have been of great jiublic benefit. The officers chosen by the meeting take this last o[»portnnity of expressing to the Governor, the Cheslnut Tree Ijlight Com- mission and the Delegates from the States, their sense of high api)reciati(ui for the lnuior coiirei'i-ed upon I hem iu being iuviled to preside over the deliberations of the Conference. They also have hopes that information may be found in the following pages which will incite greater interest in the earnest work now being undertaken in Pennsylvania and other States to prevent the fur- ther spread of this serious and destructive Chestnut Bark Dis- New York, Chairman, "^s^^f^ A^^2^t^^^<^^^ Pennsylvania,.
