6—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, July 27, • Forester (Continued from Page i) trees were dead, or nearly dead. We stopped at Jackson’s sawmill, tyjtween Quarryville and Kirkwood, where some of the dead trees were being sawed into 1 umbei. “The lumber is sound We have been buying quite a bit oif this kind of timber.” Da >id Jackson told us. “But,” he said, "If these trees aie not cut before next year, they will begin to rot They won’t be worth much next year at this time ” Kitch said he is going to recommend that all woodlot owneis m the aiea cut out all the Chestnut Oak trees big enough for timber, and plant Tulip Poplar in the skid roads "If >ou write that, they will ■work me to death ’’ Jackson said But he added that he would be interested in timber ing woodlots with the dead trees if they were sound Kitch said he believes Tulip Poplai would be a more desir able tree in many of these woodlands because they glow much ifaster and there is a good demand for poplar lum ber With the oaks cut out and some of the competition pushed out of the skid roads, Kitch believes the poplar should do well “iManj of these woodlots are right ne\t to corn fields, and wheie coin will grow, Tulip Poplai should grow.” Kitch said What is causing the-untimely demise of these sound trees? Kitch believes it is a com bination of factors For two successive years, a heavy pop ulation of cankerworms nearly defoliated the trees It seems that the worms have a pre ference for Chestnut Oaks. There is also a widespread in festation of a disease called Pit Making Oak Scale in the area Neither of these pests is enough to kill the tree by it self, hut the two of them in combination can sap the vigor of a healthy tree.

The beetles make trails through the cam bium layer cutting off the flow of food and water up to the tree branches. When the trails completely girdle the tree, the leaves dry up and the tree dies. Kitch knows he will have a big job ahead of him for the next few months cruising wood lands to mark trees for tim bering, tout he feels it is im-r portant to remove the trees while they ate still valuable.
