Tree Sprayed In The Park
The Huntley Park Board had the trees in the E F Deicke park sprayed to save 2C Oak trees which had been found affected by bugs whidi were eating the leaves. The spray was ^>plied by the use of helicopter owned and operated by the Clarke Outdoor Spray Co. of LaGrange. The entire 20 acres in the park was sprayed with a concentrated Maia- thioa solution.
The Park Board members be¬ came aware of the problem through Mr. K. P. Bakley who owns a wooded area south of Huntley. Mr. Bakely had found some trees which were affected and mentiwied it to Mr. Ed. Piske, one of the park com¬ missioners. Mr. Pi*e investigated the trees in the park aai. found at least 20 oaks which were similarly affected.
Last Sunday the Bakley woods and the paric were sprayed by the heli¬ copter. The Malathiwi which was used reportedly will kill the bugs within Vi hour after application. The down-draft from the helicopter rustled the leaves on the trees per¬ mitting tlie chemical to work more effectively on the bugs. At the same time the marshy areas of the park were sprayed to klU the mosquitoes and other bugs.
