They're all known by single names?

Thanks, Bilbo, good quiz! I don't have a question ready, so could someone else take it, please.

This quizz reminded me of an interesting factoid... about the Dutch Elm Tree Disease that has just about wiped out all of America's magnificent Elm trees.
A Vermont woman developed a cure for this disease, but unfortunately there was no funding available to implement it. She did manage to save ALL the Elm trees in her local area but that was about it. Who was she, what was her treatment, and why couldn't it be easily used all over the country to save the species. Stitchawl |

Perhaps a clue would be in order?
Did the cure involve maple syrup? |

A question! What is the longest palindrome (e.g. "Madam, I'm Adam") that you know without having to look it up? The longest one I have in my memory is 7 words and 19 letters (and 6 spaces): "Able was I, ere I saw Elba" Since this is an open-ended question, you have one day from now to post your palindrome.

You take the lead! Also seven words, but 21 letters.
