The most potent weapon against both types of insect is banned by federa order. The special character istics which make DDT so ef fective are its long life and lov cost. One application is suf ficient to last well through th egg-caterpillar life of both insects, resulting in nearly com pete extermination in treatec areas. There are other pesticides but they cost more and their ef fective life is long enough to kill insects at both ends of their life spectrum. As a result, enough survive to 'perpetuate the insect hordes in suc- ceding years.

Both the oak leaf roller and gypsy moth hatch out in the spring and the caterpillars eat the leaves off trees. Most trees can survive one year of de- 'oliation. Some hardy trees can withstand two years. Few can stand three successive years of defoliation, foresters say.

The enormity of the battle against the oak leaf roller is stressed by James Nichol, entomologist with the Department of Forests and Waters at Harrisburg. He said that a spraying program over vast areas poses problems, of cost and time. "The areas must be sprayed within a two-week period in the spring, and how you mass enough men and machines to cover all areas in that short tim is in itself a tremendous task," he said. The leaf roller has one slightly redeeming character operates only in highe.

Adding to the dark outlook i the fact that the insects' egg masses which now can be seen on the bark of trees in aras are much larger and more numerous they were last year, indicating the in festation will be even heavier next spring. Lynn Frank, assistant dis trict forester at Clearfield, say! the only feasible cutting prac tice in affected areas is to take out all trees. He said this can be done in 50-acre blocks. The denuded tracts Ihen would develop new growth on controlled basis, with al" trees in the block being about same age.

This would per mit better control of the new growth, and would provide other in future management of the new forest. The department reports that the older infestation areas of iak leaf roller, it is now too lat or a successful control program'. But some of the more aluable stands now becoming nfested could be protected and he department is planning a hemical control program next pring in the big red oak stands. The gypsy moth was found ast year at Aaronsburg in Genre County and since then races of it have been found in he State College region and ther areas of the county, mark- ng the insect's westernmost jenetration in the state. The gypsy moth, an imported nsect, has' been fought in the ortheastern United States for early 100 years.

It had been ottled up in northeastern Penn- ylvania for 30 years until use TTD was banned. Since then has spread rapidly.
