Grave Damage To Pine
Timber In the South
J. 3. BERRY, Prof. Forestry Georgia
State College OF Agriculture

State College Of Agriculture
Wherever one travels in the south
there is noticed small groups of dead
or drying pines. Often in midsum-
mer the leaves turn yellow and fall,
leaving the trees bare. AS rule this
damage is due to the southern pine
beetle Oendroctonus fontalis), a
small beetle about a quarter of an
inch long, which penetrates the bark
and works in the cambium layer. If
enough beetles are present the tree
is girdled and gradually dies.
Following a summer cutting of pine
is the damage especially noticed. The
beetles are attracted from considera-
BILE distances by the odor of the fresh.
ly cut wood and attack the surround
ing trees. The cutting of even one
tree in a group of pine is sufficient to
attract the beetles. Usually the work
of the beetles in standing timber is
confined to the upper portions of the
stem; on felled timber, it works on
the entire length of the trunk.
Damage may be greatly reduced by
restricting cutting of pine to the win.
ter months when both trees and bee.
ties are in a dormant state. If cut.
ting in the summer is unavoidable.
the slashing should be destroyed by
firing. Beetles in infested timber NAV
be destroyed by peeling the bark and
burning it or by submerging the logs
in water and destroying the slashing

WOLF TEETH-BLIND TEETH!
Occasionally horses and mules are
found to have small supernumerary
teeth just in front of the first molars
jaw teeth. There is a popular SUI
perstition that these extra teeth are
a cause of eye diseases and blindness.
There is no foundation in fact for this
belief There is nothing to it. 1t is
ridiculous. The blood supply of the
teeth is entirely distinct and sepa-
rate from that of the eyes. There is
no direct connection between the
eyes and teeth as far as the nerves
are concerned. AS matter of fact,
some horses and mules have seven
molar teeth instead of the normal
number of six. The small wolf
tooth" is simply the evidence that
there was a tendency toward the de-
velopment in that particular animal
OF an extra number of teeth Such
extra teeth have absolutely no con-
nection with the occurrence of eve
diseases.

lids in each eye and has them All
animals not provided with fingers have
this extra structure in connection with
