Spruce Budworm
Alarming Stage
Extent of damage to timber in
Ihe Blue mountains south of
Heppner due to spruce budworm
iniesiatlon was viewed Friday
anernoon by representatives of
the Heppner chamber of com
merce, piloted by members of the
Heppner ranger district. As a
result of the inspection tour, the
visitors returned to town thor
oughly convinced that not only
Is the situation serious but that
irreparable damage already has
been done, especially to the fir
growth, and that unless emerg
ency steps are taken at once the
pine timber will suffer immeas
urable damage.

worm was explained by Parsons.
Continuing on to I rough creek.
tributary of Little Wall creek, it
was found that damage was more
extensive than the areas first
viewed.
Parsons explained that timber
damage Is not all being done by
the spruce budworm. The pine
budworm and the saw fly are get
ting in their licks. Due to the
weakening of the trees they are
susceptible to bark beetle infest
ation, which condition the ranger
likened to man, in that the young
trees with a heavier flow of sap,
can drown out the beetles in a
great measure, whereas the old
trees, lacking in this vigor, are
more susceptible to the allacks
of the pests. The trees that have
been attacked by tne budworms
are so low in vigor that the for
esters' worry now Is with the bark
beetle as well, although not on
a n epidemic scale.
Pig Scramble To

Premium lists have been sent
to club members so they may
prepare their exhibits. Agricul
tural club members are busy
these days washing calves, block
ing lambs, trimming calf and
sheep hoofs, and bringing record
books up to date. Home econom
ics members are putting in the
last stitches on their sewing pro
jects and are baking cookies for
practice.
John Graves, superintendent of
the 4-H calf scramble, reports
that 14 members have declared
their intention of entering the

secured for the event.
Week's Happenings Reported in Brief Form . .
By RUTH F. PAYNE
Of interest to Heppner friends
is the news of the marriage of
Mrs Mary Hall, formerly of
Heppner, to Norton E. Davis of
Los Angrles. The wedding was an
event of July 23 at the Hrst Bap

Damage Reaches
in Heppner Forest
Parsons and Kieling also ex
plained marking rules to the
tourists. In previous years the
forest service has attempted to
hold the cutting to about 12,000,
000 board feet annually. If the
insect damage Is not checked it
may be necessary to increase the
cut to prevent loss of large stands
of timber to bugs and beetles.
This will reduce the stands fast
er than reseeding can replace
l hem, a condition not relished by
timber operators and towns whose
economy Is built up around the
industry.
At Tupper corral the group
viewed a logged over area. They
were shown how tire prevention
and erosion control are handled,
how 40- to 80-acre plots are made
by clearing fire lanes, bide roads
and log skids are seeded in good
forage plants, including timothy,
orchard grass, tall oat, slender
wheat, etc., making green fire
lanes as well as good pasture.
At Opal guard station the for
est service served lunch to the
visitors and showed them the re
sults of experimental plots spray
ed in 1948 with DDT. The trees
showed considerable relief from
the infestation over a 400-acre
tract and this year's growth is
intact
Samples of spruce budworm
and the sawfly damage to both
fir and pine were brought to town
by Ranger Parsons, along with
specimens of the budworm, and
these were on exhibition at the
chamber of commerce luncheon
Monday. Jack Loyd took several
pictures of the timber and on ev
ery hand the blighted trees were
in evidence.
After hearing versions of sev
eral members on the extent of
Ihe damage it was an easy mat
ter to get an expression of the
club as to the advisability of Im
mediate action and several indi
cated they would write personal
letters to the Oregon delegation
in congress urging emergency
measures to secure funds for com-
hatting the timber menace.

Decline Slightly
Parking meter collections have
dropped off slightly in the past
month, but the average weekly
