State Street, West Lafayette, IN, 47907 Introduction Butternut (Juglans cinerea), also known as white wal- nut, is a native hardwood related to black walnut (Juglans nigra) and other members of the walnut family. Butternut is a medium-sized tree with alternate, pinnately com- pound leaves, that bears large, sharply ridged, cylindrical nuts inside sticky green hulls that earned it the nickname lemon-nut (Rink, 1990). The nuts, a preferred food of squirrels and other wildlife, were collected and eaten by Native Americans (Waugh, 1916; Hamel and Chiltoskey, 1975) and early settlers, who also valued butternut for its workable, medium brown-colored heartwood (Kel- logg, 1919), and as a source of medicine (Johnson, 1884; Lawrence, 1998), dyes (Hamel and Chiltoskey, 1975), and sap sugar. Butternut’s native range extends over the entire north- eastern quarter of the United States, including many states immediately west of the Mississippi River. Butter- nut is more cold-tolerant than black walnut, and it grows as far north as the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, New Brunswick, southern Quebec, and Ontario (Fig.1).

  • 2012 Platform Was Drafted After Soliciting Testimony from a Geographically Diverse Range of Hoosiers at Hearings in South Bend, New Albany and Indianapolis
    Preamble We've come a long way in a short time. With a focus and a commitment to serve Hoosier taxpayers, and not special interests, Indiana's Party of Purpose has enacted improvements that have made government smaller and more efficient, improved our state's economy, and ensured Indiana's Comeback continues to move full steam ahead. After years of government spending and debt, Republican leadership balanced the budget without raising taxes. At the same time, services have improved across the state. A leaner state government has actually improved quality. Our Bureau of Motor Vehicles is now a model for efficiency, moving customers through in 10 minutes or less. Major Moves has improved infrastructure by providing a decade worth of funding for projects around the state that had been promised and delayed for decades. Property taxes in Indiana are among the lowest in the nation, having been cut by 30 percent and capped permanently by the voters and by our State Constitution. Along the way, we have lived by a number of simple principles, but atop that list is the fact that Hoosiers know what's best for Hoosiers. We don't ask for, or want, the federal government to interfere with or dictate how we should live our lives. The improvements we have made, together, have come from within, from Hoosiers. We owe a debt of gratitude to Governor Mitch Daniels and Lieutenant Governor Becky Skillman , our dynamic Hoosier duo, who have worked and led to make Indiana a better place to live, work and invest, alongside House Speaker Brian Bosma , Senate President Pro Tempore David Long and our majorities in the House and Senate.

  • LINCOLN and the COPPERHEADS in the CIVIL WAR in January 1863
    SNAKES LURKING IN THE GRASS: LINCOLN AND THE COPPERHEADS IN THE CIVIL WAR In January 1863, Abraham Lincoln was confronted with a threat more dangerous than that of the Confederate Army. The Union Army was visibly struggling toward victory with each passing battle and it seemed as if the war was far from concluding. Lincoln’s problems were not just limited to the battlefield, but the president was also burdened in dealing with intense opposition toward his government on the homefront. The threat was the Copperhead movement: Congressional Democrats were banning together in opposition to the war and proposing immediate peace through negotiations with the Confederacy. The Copperhead challenge came at an uneasy period in Lincoln’s presidency as the American public became more hostile towards the war effort. Numerous setbacks for the Union troops and the hardships of the war at home wore at the patience of many Americans and the President himself. The Copperheads took advantage of the public agitation by attacking Lincoln’s actions and character while deeming his expansion of power as unconstitutional and dangerous. Lincoln’s suspension of habeas corpus and use of martial law agitated this political opposition. The Copperheads were successful in gaining support before the election of 1864 through their attacks on Lincoln’s perceived abuse of civil liberties and expansion of power; however, Lincoln’s ability to lead the nation in troubling times, as well as a turn in the tide of the war, prevented the election of a Copperhead president and exposed the weaknesses of the movement. The supporters of the Copperhead movement were quite varied and diverse.

  • Butternut Canker and Thousand Cankers Disease
    United States Department of Agriculture US FOREST SERVICE NORTHERN RESEARCH STATION Research Review Two Fungal Diseases Spreading and Endangering Walnut Species: Butternut Canker and Thousand Cankers Disease Invasive fungal diseases and insects are assaulting hardwood tree species in our eastern forests. Although the insects receive more attention (they are more visible after all), scientists, foresters, and environmentalists are concerned that invasive fungi are endangering many hardwoods, with fungus-caused canker diseases the most destructive. Trees that produce mast—beechnuts, butternuts, walnuts, and acorns, which are food sources for many animals—are especially at risk. The most tragic example is the American chestnut, once the “queen of the eastern forests,” which has essentially been extirpated in the wild in its native range because of the canker disease chestnut blight. Cankers are localized areas of fungal infection of tree bark and cambium on branches and stems. Numerous infections and subsequent coalescing of cankers will kill trees. Butternut canker and thousand cankers disease of black walnut are cankers affecting eastern hardwoods. Since its discovery in 1967, butternut canker has established itself throughout the native range of butternut in the East, killing up to 90% of the trees in some states. Since 1990, Northern Research Station (NRS) scientists have focused their attention on conservation of butternut and the search for disease resistance in this species. The discovery of thousand cankers disease (TCD) in Colorado in 2007 and its subsequent discovery in the eastern United States have led to predictions of disastrous losses of eastern black walnut trees. NRS scientists and university colleagues are investigating how the insect-pathogen complex causing this disease may build and spread within the East and assessing what resistance exists in black walnut to both the pathogen and the insect pest.
