Newspaper Page TextI * ^1 Local forest landowners and home owners may notice swellings caused by a rust fungus on the limbs and trunks of their pine trees during the early weeks of spring. The fusiform rust disease has always been here, but peo ple don’t seem to notice it until this time of the year, no ted H. L. Neal, Jr. of the Geor gia Forestry Commission. Presently there is no cure for' the disease which is most severe in slash and loblolly pines, he explained. The first evidence of the fusiform rust is usually a small. spindle-shaped swell ing or canker on the stem of a s°°dling or on the branch of a tree. According to Neal the dis ease do°' not spread from pine to pin° but must first pass through a stage of nearby oak species. “We are going to have the disease here with the large number of oaks around,” said Neal. The bright orange dust on the pine cankers are masses of spores which produce hair like bristles on the lower sur face of oak leaves. Those bris tles produce dark, windblown spores that are capable of in fecting other pines. Once infection has occurred on a stem or leaf, it does not spread throughout the tree but remains localized. Branch cankers closer than 18 inches to the stem of the tree can seriously infect the main stem, and cankers reach ing from three-fourths to com pletely encircling the stem ultimatey cause death or ser ious weakening of the tree.

RHODEN COUNTY RANGER disease is the removal of oak trees to break the rust’s life cycle, but this is generally not feasible. In some cases, the branch ’ canker may be pruned, the area scraped and painted with an asphalt paint, explained Neal. Trees with severe stem I cankers may need removing. । “A tree with a large canker 1 located next to .a house should be removed before a heavy wind breaks it off,” said i Neal. In areas of high winds, such as on the islands, treated seedlings obtained from nur series which conduct spray programs, and longleaf pine and other species of seedlings that are more wind resistant and on which the disease oc curs less, should be used. Neal explained that research is being conducted to find a cure for the disease. Experi ments using arsenic haven’t proven 100 percent effective. SOUTH IS GOOD TREE-GROWER The South is growing new trees faster than it is harvest ing mature ones, reports the Southern Forest Institute. This year, the South’s forest industries (nulp and paoer. lumber, nlvwood, etc.) plant ed or distributed more than ^65 million seedlings. The tot'd included more than 460 million pine seedlings and al most five million hardwoods. Almost 60 million of the seed lings planted this- year are ge netically superior seedlings which will grow taller, bigger around, straighter and up to 25 nercent faster than ordi nary trees. FROM ' * '' :: ' CO. EXTENSION OFFICE By George A. Loyd County Agent SEED CORN SUPPLY It now appears that there will be enogh blight resistant corn seed this year to plant around 60 percent of the corn acreage in the South. That is the opinion of Dr. Harold Gurley of the Georgia Cooperative Extension Ser vice. Gurley says that the re maining 40 percent should be planted only with a recom mended second generation seed. Research has proven that where second generation seed are planted a reduction of from ten to twenty percent can be expected. However, it looks like this is a limitation with Which producers will have to live this year. Gurley reminds corn pro ducers in Georgia who have to plant second generation seed from their last year crop that they should use only these varieties: Coker 71, Cok er 67, Funks G-795-W, and Pioneer 511-A. If any other second genera tion seed are planted, a yield reduction of around 50 percent may be expected. More detailed information on recommended corn seed for 1971 can be had at the county Extension Service office in Brantley County. CITRUS PULP FOR CATTLE With the high price of corn, the cost of Wintering cattle may be reduced by replacing some corn in the ration with citrus pulp. Although citrus pulp is a little lower in pro tein than ground snapped corn, it is high in energy and also higher in digestibility than corn. Whenever the price of the citrus pulp per ton is less than that of ear corn, it may be used to re place from 50 percent to 70 percent of the snapped corn in supplemental feed for win tering cattle on low quality hay and limited grazing.

SOUTH MUST GROW WHOLE NEW FOREST To meet America’s de mands for wood in the year 2000, the South is going to have to grow a whole new forest, reports the Southern Forest Institute. To do this, all Southern forest land will have to be managed for in creased productivity. And another 30 million acres of new forests must be planted by 1985. Within 30 years, the South’s woodlands will have to provide 13 BILLION cubic feet of wood each year, may be even more. Progress Feeds HOW open for business. Discount feed prices on bag or bulk feed.
