problem (and most do) we do not see it on many summers.  This means that 
even the "culling" option is not always easy.  This summer wh had more 
dry heat here than usual, and I was able to "flag" all plants that showed 
symptoms.  We have removed those, and will wathc those general areas 
carefully.  Like Clyde, I wish I could call this a monor problem, but I 
know better.  I have watched this "infection" move into new areas for the 
last few years, and I know that something more than culling is going to 
be needed to controll it.
