Z inc Beetles Ravage
Many Valuable Trees

T Southern pine beetles have been
raVaglng valuable pine trees over
North Carolina this summer, accord
ing to Rufus H. Page, Jr., assistant
extension forester at State College.
Beetles are most often found
where pine debris has been left on
the ground to give them breed
ing place, he stated.
10 breed in sufficient numbers
to successfully attack and enter
healthy trees, the beetles must first
enter diseased or damaged trees or
freshly cut pine stumps or pine de-
bris.
Delayed pine cutting until the
middle of September will check
beetle attacks, Page continued.
But If pines are being cut before
that time, a number of precautions
can be exercised to protect the lv-
ing trees.
Remove all the trunk and limbs

Market Hogs Need
Carcf:.--! Handling

Improper handling in shipping
hogs to market accounts for an an
nual average loss Of $12,000,000 &C
cording to H. w. Taylor, extension
swine specialist at State College.
A survey made recently showed
that 100000 animals were bruis-
ed, crippled, or dead on arrival at
packing plants. The survey also
brought out the fact that 206 per
cent of the hogs slaughtered were
found SO bruised as to cause a loss.
The greatest bruising occurred on
hams, Taylor pointed out. Next in
order were bellies, backs, and
shoulders. Thus the most valuable
pork cuts predominant among those
damaged by bruising.
The average loss on all bruised
hogs in this survey was 35 cents;
OF all hogs in the survey, including
those not bruised, it averaged seven
cents q head. This is an average
loss Of five dollars Per single deck
car.
The amount of loss through brui-
sing was estimated at the time Of
slaughter, SO the figures did not in
clude heavy loss on what are call
ed hidden" bruises. Many Of these
are not observed until after the cur
ing process, Taylor explained.
The swine specialist is recon-
mending that growers use a slapper
when they are handling their mar
ket pigs. This device does not
bruise the animals as would stick
or a pole, instruments commonly
used in prodding the hogs.
Other causes of loss are: over
croWding in cars or trucks; mixed
shipments without partitions; poor
footing and inadequate or improper
bedding; weak, poorly constructed
partitions of the wrong type which
are broken in transit; low vitality
and disease conditions; and Excess
sive feeding and watering.
