need for the bringing together of superior
students from different areas so that they
may spend a concentrated period of musical
study and performance together, achieving
more distinct artistic results than poss
ible otherwise.

chestra, wind ensemble, and chorus during
their two week stay at the Brevard Music
Center, A concentrated, fastmoving program
of rehearsals, performances, lectures and
recreational activities is planned. Con
ductors with whom these students will have
the opportunity of working include Guy
Fraser Harrison of the Oklahoma City Sym
phony, James Yestadt, of the Mobile, Ala
bama Symphony, Robert Barr of the Columbus,
Georgia Symphony and James Christian Pfohl

This insect was first observed on
Mt. Mitchell in 1957, where some 275,000
trees have been killed to date. No prac
tical method has been found for control
of this aphid where large numbers of trees
are infested. Cost of chemical control
ranges from |100 to $300 per acre in rea
sonably accessible areasj and treatment
may need to be repeated every three to
five years.
Although Fraser fir is not used pri
marily for limber or pulp, it has a hi^
scenic value in recreation areas and is
hi^ly prized as a Qiristmas tree. Fed
eral and State agencies are cooperating
in control and research efforts to mini
mize losses and preserve an adequate seed
source,
Ihe balsam wooly aphid is a small
sucking insect known to entomologists as
Chemes piceae Piatz, The adult is black
ish and so small that it is difficult to
see with the naked eye. This insect is
found on the surface of bark, sometimes
covered so heavily vd.th a white woolly
mass that the trunks of some trees appear
white-washed. The yoimg aphid crawler
moves around soon after hatching, attaches
itself to the bark to feed, where it re
mains for the rest of its life.
There are generally two to three gen
erations of aphids in a single year. This
