Ob- servations made on several tracts in- dicate Scotch Pine most susceptible, with Red Pine running a close sec- ond, Damage to White Pine and White Spruce is negligible. The first apparent evidence of in- jury is the complete browning of the I foliage. Close examination reveals partial or complete girdling of the main stem, Many individual trees, al- though completely girdled, still wear their mantle of green, but not for long, If the cambium layer, the life line of the trees, is severed and the tree can no longer obtain food and water, discolouration of the foliage soon takes place. The length of stein girdled varies from• one inch up to as high as two feet from the surface of the ground, depending on the depth of the snow the winter previous. Trees examined to date show no evidence of root gird- ling, hence we can assume that the damage is caused by the meadow mouse (microtus.) The deep snow and lack of clean cultivation enable the meadow mice to work above the ground without fear of detection. Con- trol of destructive mice presents a difficult problem. We are faced with the impracticability of cultivation, the inability to forecast the severity of the winters to come, and last but not least, public criticism, One control measure that might be employed to reduce injury inflicted by mice arises from a common princ- iple of nature, namely a balance be- tween prey and predator, A number of mammals and birds prey on mice. Chief among these are skunks, foxes, hawks, owls, dogs and cats, There is no guarantee that these will rid the plantation of mice 100%, but it is hoped that the number can be kept to a minimum, Though the problem at hand be acute, the answer lies with nature, For has it not happened before, that If man wmeets failure, Mother Nature meets success, Owners of plantations of pines should inspect them at this time of the year. Recently planted trees could perhaps be saved by removing the grass that may smother the tree. This is also the time of year that cater- pillars attack the trees, and most of them can be controlled quite easily in the early stages by picking by hand or spraying with 3% D.D.T. dust. If the owner wishes information concerning the insects or caterpillars, he should notify the Zone Forester or bring them In to the Zone Forestry office, and they will be sent to the entomol- ogical division of the Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, This department wishes samples sent in order that they can ascertain the distribution of the various destructive insects.
