NEW... Fecfrowe Waving for ALL HAIR-TEXTURES! One Lotion... 10-minute waving r X mm '4 itrKs-' T. sttrJ aICK-UP PERMANENT FULL HEAD PERMANENT 30 North Central Two Forest Diseases Under Study in Expanded Program Corvallis Two of Oregon's dangerous forest diseases root rots of conifers and needle blight of ponderosa pine are under study at Oregon State college as part of an expanded regional forest disease research program. Root rot is one of the most serious disease threats of the Douglas fir and Port Orford cedar laiads of western Oregon and needle blight is one of the "first priority" diseases of east ern Oregon's pine regions. Dr. Lewis F. Roth, forest plant pathologist, is leader of the di sease research work for the col lege's forest experiment station. To Keep Ahead Expansion of the forest disease work is recognition, Roth said, of the tremendous toll taken each year by diseases in U.S. and Northwest forests and represents an attempt on the part of the college to "keep. ahead", of some of the diseases. Losses from forest diseases were emphasized by. a 1952 study made by the U.S. forest service, Roth pointed out. That study showed that diseases kill ed three times as many trees as were destroyed by fire in 1952. Insect losses were seven times greater than fire losses. In terms of growth loss to trees, however, disease outrank ed both, insects and fire by more than 2 to 1. ' The Northwest fortunately has fewer serious disease problems than some otljr areas of the country, perhaps because it is still a relatively "new" region, Roth said. Northwest tabulaitons show that insects and weather are the two biggest killers of trees at present with disease ranking third. The losses from disease are staggering, nevertheless. Some Wi billion cubic feet of timber are lost annually in the North west to five disease problems root rots, heart rots, blister rust, mistletoe and needle blight. An other 200 million cubic feet of growing stock and 1 billion board feet of saw timber are destroy ed annually by unclassified dis eases. Disease research is especially important in the Northwest, how ever, because of the great dis ease "hazard" that exists in the uninterrupted tracts of Douglas fir and pine. Wherever there are big regions of the same type of plants, the chances for rapid spread of any diseases introduc ed into the area are great, Roth explained. Ends all guesswork.
