Tiny Bark Beetles Killing Pine Trees In Transylvania Tiny bark beetles are kill ing pine trees in Transyl vania County. County Ranger Clark Grissom says that pine timber attacked can be a total loss unless quick action is taken to salvage the infested trees. There is a double bene fit from quick salvage: Cash income plus control of the breeding insects. Winter is the best possible time of year to control the menace, as the beetles are in active during the cold months. Most noticeable are dead and dying trees. Green infested trees with small resin gobs on the bark at beetle holes and looking like popcorn indicate beetles in the larvae (or worm) stage feed on the inner bark. This cuts off the growth pro of the tree Grissom said. of the infested , prevent further losses next spring and sum mer. However, some infested trees are almost impossible to recognise. Therefore, to suc ceed in control, it is advised to cut a 50 foot belt of green trees from around the dying infested trees. Assistance in recognizing southern pine beetle infesta tions is available if needed by -calling Grissom at 883-9385. Help can also be had in finding buyers for wood to be salvaged.

The 4-H Council in each North Carolina County was assessed a goal for a State 4-H Fund Drive. .The. 4-H Council set a goal of $2800 by 1976, and plans on selling plants for most of this goal. Trees are definite assets— they are the largest and show est of plants in the home yard. In addition to contributing shade, trees and shrubs pro vide temperature control, wind control and. erosion con trol as well as good fore grounds and backgrounds for a house. Most who tend trees and shrubs don’t know it, but they are putting their plants to work purifying our air and putting oxygen back in it so we can breathe a lot easier. Did you know that an acre of grass gives off 2,400 gallons of water every hot day in summer. That some grass has a cooling effect equal to a 140,000 BTU air condi tioner. A tree can produce a cooling effect equal to a 10 room size air conditioner. An apple tree not only produces apples, but enough oxygen for four people for one year. Plants act as blotters and soak op noises (up to 75%) and also dust. Indeed, plants are the best dust “mops” on earth, catching much of the falling particles found in 12 million tons of pollutants re leased each year.
