CAMPAIGN IS PLANNED
AGAINST TREE DISEASE
Department of Agriculture
Would Wipe Out Pest
Through Timber Owners.

Preparations are being made by the De-
partment of Agriculture for an active
campaign this spring against three tree
pests-the southern pine beetle, the hick-
DRY bark beetle and the chestnut tree
disease. The most important of these,
from an economic standpoint, is the south
ern pine beetle. This has been making
serious inroads into the southern pine
forests for several years The Department
Of Agriculture has had men in the field
studying the problem, and has found that
the trouble comes from a special beetle
that winters in the dying pine trees. It
has been found that the spread Of the
beetle during the warm weather can be
headed OF by stripping the trunk bark
from the dying, not the dead trees. and
burning it. This is an enormous work,
and requires the cooperation OF all the
owners Of pine lands.
The department has just sent out q
warning that between now and the end
OF April is the time to work. Men are
furnished to direct the technical part Of
the work where they are needed. and
there is to be q general stripping OF the
dying pine trees this spring, so far as
the department can interest the owners OF
shows that more than So. 100000 worth Of
timber has been killed by the beetle IN
the past three years.
The Hickory Bark Beetle.
The hickory bark beetle is a pest Of
much the same sort, but his ravages are
not 80 extensive. because there is not so
much hickory for him to work ON. But
the rayages Of the beetle are extensive
enough to warrant serious attention.
There has been q disease that has af-
fected the chestnut trees of the country
for several years past and is spreading
rapidly. Field observations show that 1t
is fungus disease. There have been a
good many claims that it Is spread by
birds, who carry the germs on their feet
during wet weather from tree to tree.
Some foresters have claimed that the
birds are the chief offenders in spreading
| the disease. The biological survey of the
Department Of Agriculture, which is
charged with the protection Of the birds.
| says 1t has made q study of the chestnut
blight, and that. while the disease may
| be spread by birds to a very limited ex-
| tent the birds are by no means princi-
pally responsible, and that to kill birds
as the medium through which the blight
| is spread would be much like burning
down a barn to kill the rats that in
habit 1t.
