Experiments to
Protect Logs from
Wood-boring Insects
Proving Successful

The Maine Forest Service has just
completed a preliminary series OF
experiments in an effort to find some
economical way of protecting logs
from wood boring insects and has
met With considerable success.
at is a we'll recognized fact that II
a log is left out in the open through
the summer months 1t will be rid
died by borers before winter" assert
ed State Forest Entomologist II. Il.
Pierson yesterday.
Furthermore, many or these Dor
ers, having once entered the logs,
will remain in the wood for several
wears even after it has been sawed
into lumber. continuing their work
of Kidding the wood with tunnels.
This so-called wormy timber is
thrown into a low grade and brings
a relatively low price in the market.
Each year large numbers Of logs
are left in the woods due to various
reasons such as poor hauling condi-
lions, labor trouble, or lack Of driv-
ing water, and when they are finally
got out the following year. they are
useless for high grade lumber. Then
again, companies at times go to
tremendous expense III q uHdi SiloI
to get all Of the logs out whereas II
there were some method of protect
ing them from borers they could be
left until the next driving season,
and be taken out much cheaper. The
injury to the logs is done by beetles
which, attracted by the odori of fresh
pitch, swarm to the cutting areas
from early April until late October.
These BEETLES lay their eggs in the
logs and the small grubs Matching
from the eggs tunnel first just be-
meath the bark and later bore into
the wood, the tunnels becoming
larger and larger as the grub grows,

I'm cooperation with the Bates For
est at Alfred, Maine. and the Brown
Company at Cupsuptic Lake. logs or
different species were treated In five
different ways. The most promising
results were found in logs that were
peeled, busted with lime sulphur, or
covered,wi brush. The logs left as
checks were in every case heavily
infested with borers. None OF the
logs that were entirely peeled were
attacked by borers. Those that were
peeled on only one side were attacked
on all but the peeled side. Those
that were covered with brush had
the infestation cut down to less than
one-half, whereas those busted with
lime sulphur had very few borers IN
them. The cost of peeling wood cut
in the winter is too high to make 1t
profitable. but the busting can be
done very cheaply and easily.
"The lime sulphur is used in pow
dered form and is busted on to the
logs by use of a knapsack duster.
One man turns the logs while the
other man dusts them. The lime
sulphur is easily handled and is put
on just as it comes. In spite Of the
rainy season just experienced. the
lime sulphur stayed on the logs
throughout the danger season, and
was still on when the logs were ex-
amined this month. This coming
spring the Maine Forest Service is
hoping to try the use of the lime
sulphur on a large scale. The sue
cess of the lime sulphur lies in it's
acting as repellant to the BEETLES,
for 1t Is not q poison"

Repair Historic
Hawaiian Church

Honolulu, Oct. 29.-(AP)-Kawaiha
the Westminster Abey Of Hawaii
for the last So years and the first
stronghold Of the missionaries who
came to the islands from New England
more than a century ago-has been de-
clared unsafe.
Insidious white ants, wood borers,
have invaded the floor beams. Orders
and columns, eating away the inside
and causing danger that the struc-
ture might collapse. The building has
been closed and will not be opened
until steel and concrete are substi-
tuted. A reconstruction committee
estimates that repairs may cost $780,
600.
The church was designed in 1885 by
Hiram Bingham. one Of the mission
aries and forefathers Of Senator
Hiram Bingham of Connecticut. The
building was completed in 1912. 1t
has been the scene OF many incidents
in Hawaiian history.

Sex Changing of
Various Animals
Proves Successful

Paris, Nov 3.-(AP)-Experime
in the changing Of the sex of various
animals. coincident to an attempt to
codify the laws governing all animal
growth, are now being carried on
with success under the auspices of the
Paris Faculty of Medicine by DR..
Christian Champy.
Starting some five years ago with
experiments on the frog and other am
phibians, wherein the change of sex
from male to female was accomplished
by an alternative process of starving
and then of fattening, DIR. Champy by
means of gland grating has been able
to change the sexes of such mammals
as the guinea-pig and rabbit. The Rus
sian savant Zavadowsky has per-
formed similarly successful grating
on chickens.
AS a result of their combined labors
great progress has been made in de-
termining the physical laws governing
animal growth, to the point that DR..
Champy hopes that in the not distant
future they may be laid down as conf

sizes and chemistry. as..-
The composition of the creative
glands of all males and females from
the insect kingdom up to that of the
higher animals, says DR.. Champy, pre-
sents surprising sameness. The eff
fects which the male and female
glands have on the outward growth of
any one species-such as horns, hair,
shell, and so forth-can now to GER
tain degree be charted and catalogued.
1t is now possible the French sa-
want points out, to determine the sex
Of prehistoric animals by an exami-
nation of the remains by the applica-
ton of the general law, and also to
compose the picture and calculate the
size of the creature of the opposite
sex from an examination of any one
specimen found.
There is a practical aim behind this
studying OF the normal laws of growth,
DR.. Champy observes. Once they are
established, 1t will be easier to set at
