Studying Effects
Of Girdling Spruce
To Control Spruce
RudWOrm Outbreaks

The Maine Forest Service has re-
Gently started q series of sample
plots in the vicinity of Lake Moxie
on which the effects of girdling
spruce and fir is being tried out as
a control for spruce budworm out
breaks. At the present time control
of outbreaks is carried on by clean
cutting in areas where an iIifestation
is starting up. A large forest type
map which is being prepared by the
Maine Forest Service shows the
areas in which outbreaks are liable
to start up. These so-called dan
ger areas" are to be inspected once
u year and incipient outbreaks re-
ported to the owner. Clean cutting
of the area prevents the spread of
the insect. In some cases it is diff
cult to start a pulping operation at
once on account of inaccesSability
and it is with these conditions in
mind that the new experimental
plots were started. In cases where
ia is impossible to Immediately cut
an infested stand, it Is believed that
girdling of the trees may serve the
same purpose. This would allow
the companies several years to get
in and actually log the areas. The
basis of the control work is to shut
off the food supply of the insect.
On the experimental plots differ
ent methods of girdling are being
tried on both spruce and fir. The
girdling experiments will be carried
on throughout the year in an en-
deavor to find the most satisfactory
time to prevent the growth of the
new needles. This work is being
done by H. B. Person and James A.
Beal. forest entomologists of the
Maine Forest Service.

"Hunchback" Cost as Much to Pro-
duce as any Three Of the Biggest
Musical Revues

During q discussion of dramatic
and motion picture producers recent
ly an interesting point came to light
namely, that the production of a
picture like The Runchback of Notre
Dame" costs rs much as three of the
editions of one of thee most famed
musical revueS in the country, and
that when advertising, transporta-
ton, and all other items of overhead
are taken into considera ton, it costs
as much to present n super feature
4 year as it does the best of the spo-
ken dramas, which charge two to
four times what the picture does.
The public has demanded bigger
and better picturees. but there is no
doubt that if this demand Is to be
met that higher prices of admission
are vitality necessary. else these big
ger and better productions would
soon banrupt even the biggest COM
panies. REWRITING TO The lunch
back of Notre Dame" the Universal
production which comes to the CO.
lcnial Theatre next Monday and
Tuesday for an indefinite engage
ment, the total cost was more than q
million and half.
According to all who have seen the
ltl IUOIe tllHn TWO IuH-
dred feet Of film need be run before
the spectator realizes that this is no
idle statement, and begins to wonder
how it was produced at that low fig
ure. There were rome 1901 actors
employed in 1t, the time required was
more than n year, and it was neces-
Sary to rebuild the entire Cathedral
OF Notre Dame and eight blocks of
Partisan houses and streets of the
period of Louis XI.
Aside from the love theme that
plays on the heart strings like a bow
does on a violin. there is action and
thrills surprising any in the most
exciting production made heretofore.
The cast les one of the most note
worthy ever gathered under one BAN
ner and is headed by that postmaster
OF character parts-Lon CLANCY.
Critics in New York and every other
city where the production has been
shown. have acclaimed Mr.. Chaney's
work as a piece of art of purest ray
serene, q bit that connot die. He is

lists as Ernest Terrence. of covered
