Office; Details Of Spray Are Aired

The Virginia Division of Fores-

today the appointment of two
new service foresters, Paul R.

and revealed details of a new

because pine seedlings are in
tolerant, or in other words, they
cannot stand shading and must
have full sunlight in order to
make the best growth.
In the past. chemicals have
been used to a great extent in
helping to control various types
of hardwood and shrub growth,
but these previous applications
have been applied by hand to a
cut or frill in the tree that was
desired to be deadened using
hand methods, such as an axe,
brush hook, or other sharp in
Strument.
This new development. whish
can be applied in numerous
ways. is a mixture of PAST, a
silvicide poison, mixed with a
small amount of oil, and further
with water. This mixture, ap-
piled by a machine which pro-
duceS a fog or very fine mist
sprayed into the air. comes in
contact with the broad leaves of
the tree and enters the plant
through the outer layers of the
leaves and gets into the life
stream.
This poison is so-called
growth hormone. which actually
causes the tree to grow too fast,
and consequently it cannot sup
ply sufficient moisture and make
sufficient food to continu e

Foliage Spray
In recent years a new develop
ment has arisen to give land
owners a new method of prepar-
ing brush-type areas of unwanted
hardwoods and shrubs by spray
ing the foliage with a silvicide
in order to kill the material so
that pine trees can be planted.
The poison that is used will kill
only hardwood species so that
the same spray can be used to
release from overlapping vegeta-
ton small pines which have
come in naturally or have been
planted.
Removal of the shade and
overlapping trees is necessary

growth.
Three types of machine are
presently in use. The first, which
is demonstrated in the picture, is
what Is called a Blackjack type
mist blower. It is portable,
weighing approximately Sc
pounds loaded with solution
ready to be sprayed. It will hold
approximately two and one-half
gallons of solution. A number of
areas have been done throughout
the Farmville district and
throughout the state this year.
A man can be expected to do
from ten to IS acres a day. Ap-
proximately five gallons of So
luton are used per acre.
Another type mist blower is
a tractor mounted machine
which is capable of blowing the
mist at much higher area and
will cover an area in a shorter
time. The tractor type machine
will probably lend itself to con-
tract work by operators Of bull
d0Zer equipment. or large land
holdings where bulldozer is
available.
The third type of mist blowing
equipment, which will probably
be used to a great extent on
larger acreageS, is the aircraft,
both fixed wing and helicoper.
Both of these types of aircraft
have been used in this area and
have given satisfactory results in
preparing areas for pine repro
duction. The airplanes are much
faster for large acreages, and
also for large acreages are much
cheaper.
Prices of the various opera
tons range as follows: Blackjack
type blower from $40 to SIS
per acre, probably around $3.50
to $14 average. The tractor
mounted somewhat higher, at
about SIP to SIS per acre. The
cost may be reduced on larger
acreages. The aerial type spray
ing will range on areas Of so
acres and above, around SO to
SIP per acre.
Individuals who have done this
work include Bobby Sprouse, in
Buckingham county: P. T. Akin
son. Prince Edward county; John
Graft, Prince Edward county
all with a Blackjack mist blower.
Much work has been done by the
state on the State Forest this
year with tractor mounted and
Blackjack mist blower. Aerial
spraying was done on the land
of w. v. Barber, in Amelia
county.
Best results are obtained by
applications made in the early
summer as soon as leaves are
completely full. The oil in the So
luton will give some burning on
the pine needles if they are con
tacted by a direct blast of the
poison. For this reason. planting
Is generally done in the winter
following the foliage application.
Future use will no doubt allow
spraying over newly planted
pines as new foundations are
DEVELOPED.

Wheat Acreage
Cut Approved

The basic 10 per cent cut in
Prince Edward county's 1852
wheat acreage, approved by
growers when they voted for
marketing quotas last week will
reduce the county allotment by
556 acres, from 1889 planted in
1861 to 4,433 for 1862.
Donald Can't, county ASC Of
flee manager, said the quota and
mandatory cut proposals were
supported strongly, So farmers
voting to approve. with seven
voting against.
Statewide, farmers approved
the measures by the required
two-thirds Of those voting, the
latest ASC count showing 2.17l
for and $50 against.
Under the 10 per cent cut,
which was requested by the u.
S. Department of Agriculture to
reduce the nations wheat sur
plus. growers may be reimbursed
for the loss in crop production.
To qualify they must idle or plant
a cover crop on an amount of
land equal to the reduction in
their wheat allotment.
The total amount Of the cut in
county wheat acreage may be
greater than the mandatory 10
per cent. This is possible be-
cause the new law permits volun-
tary reductions. up to about 30
per cent of 1861 acreage if the
individual farmer elects this
plan.
The reimbursement rates have
not yet been finally announced
by the Department Of Agricul-
ture, CAN'T said today. The pay
ment rates will vary by counties
and will be related to the per-
Torrance records of the coun-
ties
To Cut Surplus
The program was accepted by
farmers here without much OPP
position, CAN'T said. A provision
in the law which allows wheat
production on individual farms
up to 80 acres made the manda-
tory cut more palatable, he said
This maximum acreage will be
permitted on farms which certify
that all of the production will be
used for 0n-farm feeding pur-
poses.
Throughout Virginia, the re-
duction in 1862 wheat acreage is
expected to total about "a 900
acres. the ASC reports. The law
was offered to farmers in SO
o IT h e r commercial producing
states, also.
The U. S. Department Of Agri-
culture estimates the Nations
present wheat surplus at over
one billion bushels. The Depart
ment estimated that the reduc-
ton would save $50 million in
one crop year on storage and
interest costs. The goal of the
program is to reduce the surplus
by 100 million bushels.
