The Conference called by the Governor of Pennsylvania to consider ways and means for preventing the spread of the chestnut tree bark disease : The Capitol, Chamber of the House of Representatives, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, February 20 and 21, 1912 : stenographic report of proceedings of the conference. FOREWORD. The following report of the proceedings of the liarrisburg Chestnut Blight Conference is distributed with the compliments and best wishes of the State of Pennsylvania. The numerous papers and the discussions thereon coutain many new and valuable ideas. It is believed that the ultimate worth of the Conference will lie in the fact that it brought home to tlie east- ern United States the truth concerning a most serious tree dis- ease, and started discussions and a new trend of thought w-hich 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 public benefit. The officers chosen by the meeting take this last opportunity of expressing to the Governor, the Chestnut Tree Blight Com- mission and the Delegates from the States, their sense of high appreciation for the honor conferred upon them in being invited 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 w^ork 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^^iS A)s2^^^^^^^^^ Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Pearson, Raymond A.
