June S, IW* Griebs host IFYE student Questions on Eastern Oregon spray program and lasted for 6 - 8 years. Waring . * * A proposed SIS million program lo «pray eastern Oregon and Washington forests with the bin log »cal pesticide "Bt" will pro bably not achieve any long term benefit», according lo scientists at Oregon State University The plan to spray more than 900.000 acres to fight an epidemic of the spruce bod worm does not ad dr$ss the underlying problems of forests in these areas, researchers say Much of the problem in the regain is caused by years of fire suppres s»on, and fir trees that were en couraged to grow in an area tradi tionally dominated by pine forests, the scientists say. An aggressive return of the area to pine forests of fers the best long term solution to its troubles In the short term, a Bt spray pro gram this year would cost a lot of money but me accomplish natch, the researchers believe It could even postpone the decline of spruce bud worm infestations from attack by their natural predators, they say The current plan to begin a large Bt spray program about June I in three areas, consisting mostly of ru (tonal forest or private timber lands The estimated $15 IK million cost would be home mostly by the USDA Forest Service, with some assess ment on the private lands involved The affected areas include about 600.000 on or near the Ml Hood National Forest, about 200,00 acres in the Blue Mountain region near Pendleton and laCirande. and about 100,(XX) acres of mostly private forest land in central Washington, near Goldendale "We treat insect ami trce'dispascs like they’re an act of God. not the result of long term management policies," said Kichard Waring, a professor of forest science at OSl) "But the fundamental problem in these eastern forests is that we have fir trees growing where they don’t belong, where they’re not suited for the climate and environment Aune year spray pmgram to kill the spruce budworm just won’t solve that pro blem ." About eight million acres of the western United States are infected with spruce budworm, a native pest to the regain that eats the new foliage of conifer trees The trees can die from pest attack, but more often do not "The most recent outbreak has hit large areas of the Pacific Northwest said, with the problem compounded somewhat by drought conditions Usually the natural parasites and predators of spruce budworm. com bined with the decline in foliage nur- tnion. bring an infestation under control within 3 - 4 years, he said The current crisis was parlly created by successful fire control during the past 50 10 years. Wear ing said The forest "understory * was not kept clean by regular and small fires This alkiwcd more com petition by other brush and tree species, which weakened the native pine trees It also allowed fir trees to more successfully compete for space in the forest In recent decades forest managers in the affected areas encouraged this process Many pine trees were selectively logged and the fir trees left behind to grow further "So now. we have almost pure fir forests that have replaced the native pine forests," said Kemnt C'ormack. an associate professor of forest science at OSU. "It’s what people thought they wanted If the foresters had tried to cut young, already established Douglas-fir and grand fir, the public would have been uspet But the fir trees in these dry environments arc less able to resist attack by insects and disease What is now needed is "a longer term perspective," Cormack said A Bt spray program this year would kill some of the spruce budworm. but do nothing to improve the overall health of the forest The spruce bud worm populations from nearby areas could move quickly back into the sprayed forests, and "if that doesn't cause continual problems, then an expected epidemic of the tussock moth probably will," Waring said A better solution, the researchers believe, ought be to Icam lo live w ith the insccl pests on an interim basis The damage to the fir trees often ap pears worse than it is. they say. and the vast majority of trees will live ami continue to grow Then ass«*>n as possible, the appropriate sites should be converted back to the native pine forests that arc suited to the region "The defoliation is not as obvious ly damaging as it appears." Waring said "The growth of the trees may be slowed somewhat, but most of them will still live With a big spray pmgram you can kill a tew bugs, but it doesn't solve the underlying pro- bleni We arc not likely to want to spray millions of acres every year We need to consider other options Testimony presented to state highway commission State Representative Kay French along w ith a delegation consisting of Morrow County court members Gnus Carlson, Jerry Peck and Irvin Rauch, Boardman city manager Larry Dairy mplc, representatives from the Boardman area, and ECOAC representatives testified before the state highway commission in Salem on behalf of the Paterson Ferry Interchange French reminded the commission, the interchange, with access to I K4 is becoming increasingly important in both the nais cment of needed sup plies such as fertilizer, seed and ir rigation equipment, to the farms ami also, in return, the naïvement of farm crops to the Usai processing plants In addition the interchange is needed for the movement of the finished product to the consumer French also stated with Morrow County becoming increasingly com nutted lo the value added concept in relation to the state regional strategy concept, the in inclusion of the Paterson Ferry Interchange is rapid ly becoming a necessity for future economic development in the area Other members of the delegation pointed to the safety factor in rcla tion to increased truck traffic on Frontage Road which is. at present, the only access to the area Judge Louis Carlv>n pointed to the high production of value added farm products in north Morrow County Boardman city manager l-any Dairy tuple cited fad the interchange should he implemented because of the high economic impact on the area.
