**”" 'iffV ' llTflt*! wmmittm THURSDAY, APRIL 2, 1964 THE PILOT—Southern Pines. North Carolina Page NINE AGENT TELLS WHAT TO DO Ips Beetles In Trees Weakened By 1963 Fires Pose Threat For Woods By BENNY FULCHER Assistant Agiicultuial Agent Fred Whitfield, extension forest management specialist, and I re cently took a close look at the "Lake Bay” and Pinebluff “Dis aster” fire areas. Here I will at tempt to summarize our findings and give some comments about them. As previously pointed out, the insect of primary concern is the Ips Engraver Beetle. These small beetles range in size from about one-sixteenth to one-quarter inch long. They range in color from a reddish-brown to nearly black. An aid in recognizing these bee tles in the Adult Stage is the con cave or shovel-shaped rear end which bears a number of tiny blunt spines. Pitch Tubes Trees infected with Ips will usually have numerous pink whitish or reddish brown pitch tubes on the trunk. However, in trees of low vigor, as many in these fire areas are, pitch tubes may be lacking and the earliest signs of attack will be reddish boring dust in the back crevices and in spider webs at the base of the tree. Many times the crown alone MAYTAG Sales & Service Parker Oil Co. tfn ABERDEEN PILOT ADV. PAYS Experienced Interior Decora tor Service Mrs. Margaret Olive will help you develop your own ideas.

This will cause difficulty in seeing the pitch tubes or in cases of low vigor, make it very difficult to see the reddish boring dust. In this case you may look for trees with a faded or lem on color top, which will later turn a reddish color. The top may also appear to be wilted. Spray To Use The Ips that are now in most of the trees went in last fall and have over-wintered there. These trees which are recognizable as described above should be cut and removed immediately. Saw- log size trees should be peeled or the slabs should be burned or sprayed with an insecticide. Pulpwood size trees should be sent to mills immediately. Trees too small to be used should be cut and sprayed with one-quarter per cent gamma isomer benezine hexochloride in No. 2 fuel oil or burned. Taking this action im mediately will greatly reduce the risk for the remaining trees that have been injured by the fire. This action will catch many of the overwintering beetles before the new brood emerges. Cooperative Spirit Last year the forest industry representatives in the area work ed very close with landowners to salvage as much of the damaged timber as possible. This in itself was a tremendous aid to the land- owners and very helpful in the control of the insect, and helped reduce further losses caused by the insect. I urge a continued co operative spirit on the part of the landowners and the forest indus try representatives in order to further reduce these losses. We express our thanks to both the landowners and the industry for their efforts and assistance in helping with them program. Home Demonstration The Little River Home Demon stration Club No. 1 met in the home of Mrs. Everett Haywood for its March meeting. Mrs. John Kanoy, president, called the meet ing to order and opening song was “All Hail The Power.” Mrs. Hay wood then gave devotions. Mrs. Jack Morgan, assistant Home Economics Extension agent, gave a very interesting lesson on “Wall and Wall Finishes.” Many advantages and disadvantages were pointed out. Members also contributed their own experiences in wall finishes. We were glad to have our club represented by Mrs. Mary Chris tian at the Drapery Workshop at the American Legion Building at Carthage March 17. We are look ing forward to seeing the Drapery she made at that time. Mrs. Colin Smith, Mrs. John Garrison and Mrs. John Kanoy were elected to represent our club in Community Development. We are eager to have the first meet ing of this group and learn how we may improve our community. Mrs. Garrison, who is our In ternational Relations leader, read an interesting and inspiring piece on “Why Seek Ye The Living Among The Dead.” Refreshments were served. Mrs. Charles Frye will be our hostess for April and we invite anyone interested to meet with us. —Mrs. Everett Haywood TERMITES SWARMING ! Call U. S. PEST CONTROL CO. 692-3574 Southern Pines, N. C.

Central Carolina's Largest Shoe Store Look what Ford's total performance laboratories brewed up in one weekend! - i-.'' Open competition is the super proving ground Ford uses to test its specially modified cars and its ideas to the ultimate. Every time Ford goes to the races—win or lose—you always win. We always learn some thing that helps us build a better car. In one weekend we had two of these “laboratories” running—the half-mile NASCAR stock car track at Bristol, Tenn., and the punishing 5.2-mile road course at Sebring, Fla. Here are the results: BRISTOL 250-MILE STOCK CAR RACE: FORDS 1st AND 2nd This tough, tight half-mile oval revealed a new dimension in Ford V-8 power and under scored Ford’s superior handling as Fred Lorenzen passed the checkered flag nine sec onds ahead of Fireball Robert’s charging Galaxie and a full lap ahead of the third place Plymouth. SEBRING 12-HOUR ENDURANCE RACE: FORD-POWERED COBRAS 1st, 2nd AND 3rd IN GRAND TOURING CATEGORY Through 12 endless hours these incredible little V-8’s ground down the world’s finest road cars. They broke six years of Ferrari domination by outrunning and outlasting every one of the famous Italian GT produc tion cars. At the 10 p.m. finish only three special prototype entries were still ahead of the fljdng Cobras—and there were five Cobras in the top ten. SEBRING STOCK CAR RACE: 1st, FORD; 2nd, FALCON; 3rd, CORTINA Run the day before Sebring’s big one, this 250-kilometer contest for international stock cars proved-the total scope of Ford’s total performance. The entry list had just one big Galaxie, one compact Falcon, three English Ford-line Cortina GT’s, and they finished just that way, 1, 2, 3. Yes, the total performance laboratories ran full bore in one weekend, applying the acid test of open competition to our cars and en gines. We’re convinced—and we have the records to prove it—that there’s no better way to make cars better, fast. All you have to do to convince yourself is to drop in at your Ford Dealer’s and take a test drive; he’s got cars that can talk for themselves, loud and clear! ■ 'cr »}n jfr ^ ' Surefooted Ford handling was a big factor on the Bristol half-mile oval. , * '/t ' V . „ J ' -If .'-c;, X ■< t Ford power gave Cobra the GT victory at Sebring ... and the world point lead. « ‘‘i? ^ * J. 1^’ tf, ♦ ' » ' a K iSfc: STM 1 PRODUCTS OF C]^^^M0I0R(X)WWff ■x'i 'h Three kinds of Ford-built cars—Ford, Falcon and Engitsh-ouilt Cortina—finished 1-2-3 m the March 20th 2b0-kilometer stock car test on the Sebring circuit.
