A new method to control a
pesky tree k i l l e r by spraying
with a virus rather than DDT
is in final stages of testing
before actual field use.
The method consists of heli­
copter-spraying of
infested
trees with a virus that is eff­
ective
against Douglas-fir
tussock moth, a needle-eating
insect. The new approach is
being developed in a research-
administrative
study by the
Forest Service and Agricultural
Research Service (ARS,) U.S.
Department of Agriculture.
A final simulated spray opera­
tion was completed this month
near Hebo, in northwest Oregon.
If foliage tests prove the virus
effective, the virus will be used
on actual tussock moth out­
breaks in forested areas.
The testing was under the
direction of Dr. Clarence G.
Thompson
of the Forestry
Sciences
Laboratory of the
Pacific Northwest Forest and
Range Experiment Station in
Corvallis, in cooperation with
the Insect of Disease Control
Branch of the Forest Service’s
Pacific Northwest Region. The
helicopter used for the spraying
as well as personnel to fly and
service it were provided by the
ARS at Forest Grove. ARS is
also cooperating in the devel­
opment of new plot marking
techniques.
The study culminates two
years work in development of
the virus spray which, it is
hoped, will replace DDT as the
primary control agent for the
tussock moth. The virus would
eliminate most of the side eff­
ects sometimes caused by DDT
having no effect on plants or ani­
mals.
This type of control speeds
up a normal biological process
in the tussock moth, which us­
ually ends an epidemic in a few
years. By introducing the virus
early in an epidemic by spraying
it on the forest, the timber
usually killed during an out­
break would be saved.
The most recent outbreak of
the Douglas-fir tussock moth In
Oregon was in 1964 near Burns
and was successfully controlled
in 1965 with chemical insecti­
cides.
One of the problems that had
to be overcome was develop­
ment of a carrier to be mixed
with the virus and water to
keep the virus from being
washed off by rain or other
moisture. A formulation was
developed by the Forestry
Sciences
L a b o r a to r y
in
Corvallis that will withstand up
to one-half inch of rain without
reducing the effectiveness of
the virus. If this proves effec­
tive in the field spraying test,
the formulation will be ready
for use in any future outbreak.
Another problem which had to
be solved in this study was
the development of spraying
equipment suitable for proper
application by helicopter, Dr.
Bohdan Maksymluk, s e n i o r
entomologist at the Forestry
Sciences Laboratory worked
closely with the Forest Service
Equipment Development Center
at Missoula and the ARS in
developing proper equipment.
Dr. Madsymiuk was intrumen-
tal in the orgainzation and
development of the Hebo virus
spraying test.
If successful, the methods
developed in this study can be
applied to other types of micro­
bial spray projects and could
be invaluable to insect control
projects throughout the Nation.

A PUBLIC
IT MIGHT BE
CATCHING
ISSUE
One thing stands out like a
sore thumb In the case of the
railroad Machinist-led shop
workers threat to strike. The
Unions themselves have sty­
mied collective bargaining by
rejecting all three government
proposals for a settlement. The
rails and three fourths of the
industry’s employees have re­
ached agreements.
Some union spokesman and a
few legislators advocate go­
vernment seizure of the rail­
roads. But, what good would
that do—the managements and
the unions would still have to
run the railroads. Railroad ra­
tes, mergers,
financing and
other regulations are already
completely controlled by fed­
eral and state agencies.
The unions have forced the
issue to a point where in the
public interest Congress must
provide some pattern for settle­
ments binding on both parties.
The managements of railroa­
ds do not order dlcontlnuance
of rail service if they don’t
get a rate increase when they
ask for it — they wait until
the proper tribunal decides on
their rate case.
It would be a travesty on
justice to punish the railroads
with seizure, the one party to
the dispute that has cooper­
ated all the way with every
public panel solution effort. The
unions are not above regulation
in the public interest, the same
as the rails. Congress cannot
side-step the challenge thrown
at it.
I t takes a magician to get
a rabbit out of a hat, but any­
body can let the cat out of the
hag.

When there is a problem to
be solved or a project to be
complete, too many people have
a tendency to say, “let George
do it* The trouble is that to­
day “George,* all too often,
turns out to be the federal
government.
It is refreshing and encour­
aging to find the people of Tho­
maston, Connecticut, pitching in
with work and money to acc­
omplish by their own effort what
they feel is necessary for the
betterment of their community.
They have set out to raise some
$25,000 required to renovate-
and reopen the town’s 79-year-
old opera house.
This is a big job for the peo­
ple of a small community to
accomplish. They deserve sup­
port on two count. First of all,
they have the perception and
good sense to seek preserva­
tion of a town landmark of art­
istic beauty and historical sig­
nificance. Too many cities and
towns turn their fine old build­
ings over to the bulldozers in
favor of characterless chrome
and glass cube buildings. Se­
condly, any revival of citzen
and community self-reliance is
good news for the whole country.
It could be catching, and if it
should spread far enough, it
might even save us from Big-
brother
government and na­
tional bankruptcy.

Sooner or later, that day conies,
the day when a woman feels she’s changing.
It’s not a good feeling either. And she could
use a good old-fashioned medicine then.
Could be you feel a little edgy, or maybe
crou. You might even have what we call hot flashes and feel
sad and slightly off-balance.
W hatever you feel, we have something for
the day you need a little comforting. Lydia E. Pinkham
