Southern Pine Beetle Attacks Chowan Trees. Outbreaks of Southern Pine beetle have been found during this fall and winter in Chowan County according to Robert Marsh, Assistant Farm 1 Agent, who stated, “If we should have a relatively mild winter and a dry 1 spring, we can expect quite a sizeable • | epidemic of these bark beetles next : summer.” ■ | Any group of dying pines should j 'J be carefully examined to determine > iwhether or not they have been killed' : i Test Drive a.

Accord ing to the Assistant County Agent, | this beetle etches winding S-shaped egg galleries between the wood and ‘the bark. The overwintering larvae. ' pupae, and young adults will be found jin the bark. Thus it may be neces | sary to break the bark apart to find j these insects. Marsh states that con trol measures should be started im j mediately in the bark. Destruction of | brood trees should be completed be- Ifore the warm weather in the spring arrives and the beetles begin to fly. Marsh also states that some pines may be killed by the Ips engraver beetle. This bark beetle can be dis tinguished from the Southern Pine beetle by the egg galleries which are j straight and tend to more or less ! follow the grain of the wood. Adults, I larvae will be found between the bark ' and the wood, not out in the bark like the Southern Pine beetle. Farmers wishing to purchase tree 'seedlings from the state nursery for reforestation may place their orders iat the Farm Agent’s office. Marsh | states the following seedlings are I available: 'oblolly, longleaf, shortleaf, ‘ white pirie, and red cedar. J RECORD CHICK PRODUCTION | Commercial hatcheries in North Carolina produced 5,636,000 chicks | during December —a new record high output for that month. The Decem ber hatchings were 35 per cent above those for December, 1952 and 141 per cent above the 1947-51 December average production. The preliminary estimate of chicks hatched in North Carolina during 1953 i is also a new record high, totaling 69,- ; 453,000 chicks. This compares with j the previous record high of 59,899,000 ! chicks hatched during 1952.

You’D see why Ford interiors for ’54 set a new high in beauty. For here is a matchless blending of fabric, color and styling. Every detail says “fine car” quality from the new upholstery and trim to the unique new Astra-Dial Control Panel. And youll find there’s all the “livinc room” you’ll ever want or need.
