Forest in sect infestation of Georgia pines is light, according to a recent statewide survey. However, southern pine beetle infestation is moder ate throughout Central and North Georgia and along the Georgia coast. Ray Shirley, director, Georgia Forestry Commis sion, said there were 90 counties reporting no infesta tion, 21 counties with heavy infestation and 48 counties with light to moderate occurrence. Northeast Georgia was cited by Shirley as remaining heavily infested with south ern pine beetle. Ninety-eight percent of the state’s infestation is located in this area. Of the 7,858 southern pine beetle-infested acres, more than 6,000 acres are in the Forestry Commission’s Gainesville District. This includes Banks, Dawson, Forsyth, Franklin, Haber sham, Hall, Hart, Lumpkin, Rabun, Stephens and White Counties. Lumpkin and White Coun ties are not classified as heavy infested areas. Counties outside the Gainesville District that are classified as heavily infested are Barrow, Clarke, Elbert, Fannin, Houston, Jackson, Madison, Monroe and Upson. Shirley pointed out that a county must have at least one multi-tree spot per 1,000 acres of host pine to be rated as heavily infested. The average of the heavily infested counties is two spots per thousand acres with an average of 118 trees per spot. Hart County has the highest number of multi-tree spots per thousand acres, six. Elbert and Franklin Counties have the largest spots with an average of 386 and 250 trees per spot, respectively• Shirley emphasized that under the 1974 Forest Insect and Disease Control Law, landowners, who have trees infested by southern pine beetle, are being notified in writing and by phone.

In nonsalvageable forest areas personnel will cut and spray trees approved by the landowner.
