NOTICE OF SALE Here's One Reason For Bald Tops RICHMOND, Va. Why does a mountain get bald? Because it can't stand wasps. That is the explanation, offered to the American Association for the advancement of Science for the long standing mystery of the 115 "balds" in the mountains of North Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia. It was made by Wm. A. Gales, of Louisiana State University. - These mountains are all bald-topped, lacking trees up near the peak. Their altitudes he said run from 2,700 to 6,000 feet. They have been bald ap parently for centuries as their sad state goes back into Indian lore. Scientists have offered varying ex planations. But two years ago he discovered two of them undergoing a "hair cut," which seems to explain the whole puzzle. The pair were Wine Sap Bald and Wayah Bald. On these two around the lower remaining edges of their "hair" he found "incredible numbers of wasps." They were twig gall wasps. They were killing trees by the thousands before his eyes. A checkup a year later confirmed a belief that in time this fringe would be gone. No other mountains nearby had wasps at the time. The trees they principally attacked were oaks. Dr. Gates concluded that these wasps lay their eggs only at certain altitudes and in oak twigs mainly. For that reason any oak-thatched mountain top would be likely to become bald and stay that way.
