Forest Service To Wage War
On Bug, Archips Fumiferana
In a recent communication to
timber operators and owners of
timber within the Heppner dis
trict of the Umatilla National for
est, Glenn Parsons, Heppner ran
ger, tells of a menace which has
developed in the forest areas
which is claiming the serious at
tention of the forest officials. The
communication makes a good
newspaper article and is present
ed herewith:
Successful logging enterprises
are governed by proper manage
ment of their timher lands, both
mature and immature. We can
not long survive in the timber
business without proper logging
methods followed by adequate
protection from fire and insects.
In 1944, we were attacked by
a forest enemy, Spruce budworm,
Archips fumiferana, which was
not considered very seriously.
Since then this tree killer has
covered approximately 710,000
acres of timber land in the Blue
mountain region. So far the kill
of limber has been nominal, but
the outbreak has reached the
critical stage. The indications
are that the outbreak will con
tinue to develop and spread. In
many areas the foliage has been
practically stripped lrom Doin
Douglas fir and white fir.
This infestation is a serious
threat to the timber stands of
eastern Oregon and extensive
control measures may soon be
necessary. Unfortunately, due to
the peculiar characteristics of the
spruce-budworm, no wholly de
pendable control measures have
yet been evolved.
A cooperative experiment Is to
be conducted this spring by the
state board of forestry, bureau of
entomology and plant quaran
tine, and the forest service. The
purpose of this experiment is to
test under carefully controlled
conditions the effectiveness of
in different ways. Such measures
are needed as a safeguard

plants on your farm or in your
garden it might be well to inspect
your plants for this insect. Check
the underside of the strawberry
leaves and down in the crown of
the plant. The spittle bug leaves
a white frothy secretion. The spitl
tie bug itself is yellowish green.
If you can find signs of spittle
bugs, rotenone dust is the rec
ommended control. One-half or
seventy-five hundredths of one
percent rotenone is used. A light
film covering on the leaves will
be enough. Heavy rains will wash
away the rotenone. Sunshine also
reduces the killing power. So if
the Irothy secretions show up.
again it's time to repeat the ro
tenone control.
