Newspaper Page TextFARM Woodlot By DICK OLSON ' Stale Farm Forester . This week's article concerns the main diseases of Oregon's number one timber tree Couglas Fir, and a few of its associates. -. The main cause of trunk "rot in Douglas Fir is the ring scale fungus, Fomes Pini. This fungus occasionally at lacks Sugar Pine, Ponderosa pine, White Fir, Incense-Cedar, and several other coni fers in Oregon. - If a tree is infected with Tome Pini it usually has perennial conks, swollen knots and sometimes cupped bark plates on h species as Pon derosa Pine and White Fir. The pre .ice of conks is usu V' - the most easily detected. The conks are numerous and -f helflike. They are found scat tered along affect i trunks, appearing mostly at knots but in White Fir, directly on the bark. They are hard and woody and concentrically fur rowed. The conks usually range between one to six inches wide and are dull gray ish or brownish black in color.- The rot caused by this fun dus, in its advanced stage, consists of numerous small "while pockets separated by firmer wood walls. The pock ets usually occur uniformly .across the affected wood or are confined to concentric zones or bands. Decaj is con fined mostly to the heartwood, although the sapwood may be affected by the fungus in the vicinity of punk knots, or ad jacent to heartwood where the decay is well advanced. This 1s the rot that is com monly referred to as white speck. Today, lumber and ply wood are being made from white speck logs. After the 'wood ' is dryed and placed 'where it will stay dry, the fungus becomes inactive. 'Suit. Root. Rots The two main butt and root rots in this area, in Douglas Ti' are the Red-brown butt rot (Polyporus Schcinitzii) and .the laminated root ot (Poria .Weirii). The velvet top fungus, Polypozus Schweinitzii, has .shelf-like conks when attach ed to the bulls of trees. When rising through the soil from the roots they are round with depressed centers ith short ..central, slacks. They are red Vdish brown above and green lith yellow underneath. The rot from the velvet top fungus lis a yellow-brown to red jbrown cubical rot, breaking ,into large chunks. These are Idiviried at intervals by thin, 'crust-like rcsi- colored fungus 'layers. The cot is usually con i fined tj the heartwood of the 'butt and roots. , The laminated root rot at tacks trees with all degrees 'of vigcr and the disease oc 'curs as commonly on good as on poor sites. The first indi cation of the disease is a re duction in growth, usually ac companied by a crop of small er 'than normal cones. Then there is a gradual thinning ii mini 111 1 iiiiiiiiiiiii Etaf I CRATER LAKE MOTORS JOE McCALLISTER SPECIAL Buy At Wholesale!

The advanced decay is soft and flaky, yellowish to brownish, and honeycombed with small pockets, at first filled with whitish fibers, lat er - empty. Brown Mycelial felts are present. After reading the last two weekly columns, I hope you can see why I maintain that good timber management is not only necessary to receive the maximum of growth from an area but also that it is a very good safety measure. In next week's column I will dis cuss the main hardwood dis eases of this area. This article is the last of a series concerning the most common tree diseases in this area, and the hazardous condi tions that they can cause. Last weeks article discussed the major wood-rotting fungi of several coniferous species. This week, the topic is the principal diseases of south west Oregon's most Important hardwood species. At the present time, the California-L a u r e 1 (Pepper wood or Myrtlewood) is prob ably the most important com mcrcial hardwood species. However, the California Black Oak, Tanoak, and Pacific Ma drone are common and some day could be of commercial importance. Currently, the most important use of these species is firewood and their aesthetic value. In California-L a u r e I. the heartwood near the butt is very commonly decayed by fungus Fomes Applantus, (artist's cuuk). This tree is characteristically a vigorous grower. The conks produced are hard woody shelf-like perennial conks that may at tain a width of two or more feet. The upper surface is smoothed, zoned and grayish or grayish black, whereas the undersurface is white but be comes yellowish with age. If the undersurface is bruised it immediately turns brown, making the conk a favorite medium for amateur etchers. The sapwood of California Laurel is usually strong enough to support the trunk and prevent failure even though decay in the heart wood may be well advanced. Pacific Madrone wood is relatively strong, and the species has given little trouble from mechanical failure. This year in southwest Oregon many Madrones and Oaks have been killed apparently by the phytopthera root rot. Examination of roots is neces sary to identify this fungus. Infected roots will be punky with black mycelium. Oaks Susceptible The oaks as a group are probably the most susceptible to wood-rotting fungi. For this reason this group is potential ly the most hazardous. The principal hazards are sap rots of branches and trunks, heart rots, snowbreak and root disease. The native black oak is often associated with conifers. MMmkmmmSmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm i It is not a very long-lived tree and is not shade tolerant. Sur rounding conifers outstrip it in neigtit sooner or later, bringing on gradual decad ence in the Oak because of side shade. In this condition, the roots are quite susceptible to the shoestring fungus Armillaria Mellea, also a cause of common butt rot in Oaks. The tree is gradually weakened at the base by de cay until it falls. Most known cases of Oaks toppling, either during high winds or in periods of complete calm, have resulted from rot in the butt or roots by this fungus. Disease Indications Indications of this disease is a flattened black Rhro- m o r p h s (Shoestrings) over bark below ground level or between bark and wood in dead areas. Conks, when pres ent, are mushroom like, ap pearing in clusters at the ground line around the base of infected trees after fall rains or in the spring. Another wood-rotting fun gus of our native oaks is Poly porus Dryophilus. This fun gus is particularly destructive in this area. The advanced decay appears as long narrow white pockets running togeth er longitudinally and separat ed by strips of firm brown wood. The decay is confined to the heartwood of living trees. The rot column is usu ally in the main and upper portion of the bole. Their conks are hoof-shaped with a hard granular sandstone like core. The conks commonly issue from knots or occasion ally from wounds. The following sentence will sum up the series on tree dis eases and hazards. Practice good woodlot management of your forests and keep a suspi cious eye open for possible hazards whenever in the woods. Imitation Milk Law Announced Salem - All restaurants, ho tels, diners or any other pub lic eating places using imita tion milk products and vend ing machines dispensing any imitation milk products will be affected by amendments to Oregon's Fluid Milk Law go ing into effect Sept. 2. The amendments to the law, which is administered by the Oregon Department of Agri culture, provide that: Public eating places plainly and legibly print on their menus that imitation milk or what ever imitation milk product is used is "used and served here" and that vending ma chines post imitation milk product signs on the machines dispensing it. The law already requires public eating places using imi tation milk products to have prominently displayed signs informing customers that imi tation milk products are used and served there. Also covered by the statute are displays or advertising that might be misleading. ild Douses Fire In Sister's Hair Portland IUPU Danette Burns, 5, heard her sister, Debra, 2, cry out in the base ment of their home Monday. She raced downstairs and found her sister's blonde curls afire. The 5-year-old found an empty soup can, filled it with water and doused the flames. "The doctor said Danette may have saved Debbie's life," the girls' mother, Mrs. June Burns, said. She said Debra and a neighbor boy had gone into the basement and that the little boy appar ently was experimenting with matches. MEDFORD MAIL They'll Do It Every Time s r WAIT A MINUTE'.'

Shirley Koacn ana utiriene Multnomah Hotel Offered for Sale Portland, Ore. - OIPII - The Multnomah hotel, long Ore gon's biggest and best known, is for sale. Bill Williams, manager of the 51-year-old hotel, said Western Hotels plans to keep the structure operating until it is sold. He said it could be year before it closes its doors and then only "when and if a sale is imminent." Williams said that several groups were considering pur chase of the hotel. He said it could become a retirement home or a permanent resi dency hotel. Williams blamed the situa tion on overbuilding of ho tels. He said in July the Mult nomah had about 59 per cent of its nearly 500 rooms occu pied compared to 72 per cent last July. The desirable per centage is 75, he said. GAXER! R.
