Spruce Budworm
Spraying Under Way
Salem, Ore.. June 20 A $1
million aerial attack, the largest
of its kind in North American
history, was to begin at dawn to
day when three airplanes took
off to spray a DDT solution over
more than 4o0,000 acres of east
ern Oregon forests infested with
the one-inch-long spruce bud-worm.
Oregon state board at forestry
crews and private agencies were
assembled in the Heppncr and
L,a oranae areas.
This week was regarded as the
first critical period of the year
for spraying the budworms be
cause they have reached the
proper size. Budworm develop
ment nad been slowed by the un
seasonable weather.
The expensive, 10-14-day pro
ect will cost the state $197,000
and the federal government
S8B0,000. When the spraying ac
tivity reaches its height, as manv
as 25 planes may be in the air.
state forester George Spaur
said the budworm is the worst
insect menace to the $700 million
lumber industry at this time. He
said control of the budworm
would affect 12 million board
feet of timber valued at about
$48 million.

From Camp White
By L. J. "Tick" Malarkey
Filberts. 260 acres of em. on
the orchard Ben Doris showed us
while in Eugene last week. Ben
is an old friend, is well known
throughout the state and in the
Rogue Valley, and he is rather
a pioneer of the filbert business.
It was his uncle who started the
orchard and when Ben came
home with half of his face shot
away (he served with the 91st
division during the summer of
1918) he settled down to develop
ing of hazel nuts into filberts. He
has been at it ever since.
Ben Doris has been tireless in
his work for the American Le
gion and other service organiza
tions. Sixty his last birthday, he
is not a b 1 e to be as active as
when younger still he doesn't
miss much. His mother, now in
her mid-eighties, is as spry as
can be.
Folks say Ben Doris could
have been governor of Oregon
if he had had any political ambi
tions. He preferred to grow fil
berts.
