Farm Agent Gives Data On Pine Beetle Outbreaks of Southern Pine beetle have been found during this fall and winter in Perquimans County accord ing to Ralph Sasser, assistant farm! agent who stated, "If we should have a relatively mild winter and a dry spring, we can expect quite a sizeable epidemic of these bark beetles next summer." Anv srroun of dvinc ninea shnnM be carefully examined to determine whether or not they have been killed bv the Southern Pine beetle. ArmrA. ing to the' Assistant County Agent tnis beetle etches winding S-shaped egg galleries between the wood and the bark. The overwintering lnrvnn pupae, and young adults will be found in tne Dane. Thus it may be neces sary to break the bark apart to find these insects. ' Sasser states that con trol measures should be started im mediately in the bark. Dpatmirfinn nf brood trees should be completed be fore the warm weather in the spring arrives and the beetles begin to fly. Sasser 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 straight and tend to more or less follow the grain of the wood. Adults, larvae will be fund 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 at the Farm Agent's office.' Sasser states the following seedlings are available: loblolly, longleaf, shortleaf, white pine, and red cedar. Red Cross Chcpter Reorganized At Meeting On Tuesday CP.
