County Ranger White
Urges Removal of All
Damaged Trees
Chowan County Ranger Frank V.
White announces that the Department
of Conservation and Development, Di
vision of Forestry’s Pest Control For
ester, R. L. Scheer, has asked him
to point out the danger of insect in
festations in pine timber which was
damaged by Hurricane Hazel.
Due to the considerable quantity of j
timber which was blown down, there
is a strong possibility that hark
beetles will build up to large numbers
next spring and summer if there is
another dry growing season. The pri
marydanger is from Ins engraver I
beetles according to Mr. Scheer. These I
insects are already scattered over
most of Rastern North Carolina and
seem to bo unusually aggressive.
Normally these beetles cause relative- I
ly little danger in standing pine, but j
the extreme dry weather for the last |
two or three .v ears has weakened the
pine timber so that it is unable to re-1
sist an attack in a great many cases. |
Mr. White advises and urges land- j
owners to remove all down and lean-1

ing pines from their woodlands. Those
with only a slight lean and little root
disturbance can probably lx l safely
left. Those trees with a portion of
j their roots actually out of the ground,
however, are a definite hazard and
should he removed. Damaged timber
should he salvaged during the coming
winter months. Where it has no sal
vage value, it should be removed and
destroyed. If it Cannot lie destroyed,
the last resort would be to at least get
it down on the ground and be sure
that all roots are cut from the main
trunks. This last procedure will prob
ably have very little if any effect and,
therefore, should not he resorted to
except in extreme cases.
Only one or two damaged trees in a
stand of timber can serve as a center
of infestation especially when sur
rounding timber is in a weakened con- 1
dition as it apparently is at this time, i
Consequently care should he taken not
to overlook any down or seriously 1
leaning trees.
