WOOD DESTROYED IN LAST 20

SAWFLY IS WORST PEST
Professor Graham'To Leave June 9
To Make Investigation Of
Conditions
Leaf eating insects are more in-
jurious to forest trees in the Lake
states than any other group of in-
sects, Professor S. A. Graham of the
entomology department of the
school of forestry and conservation,
declared yesterday in comenting
upon the work in forest entomology
which will be undertaken this sum-
mer by the Bureau of Entomology
of the United States department of
agriculture, the University of Mich-
igan, University of Minnesota, and
the Minnesota commission of forest
and fire prevention.
Prof. Graham, who recently re-
turned from St. aul where ar-
rangements were completed for this
week, expects to leave June 9 for
Minnesota. The four departments
have been conducting investigations
'of forest pests in the Lake states
for a number of years.
The two most harmful insects,
Prof. Graham said, are the larch
sawfly and the jack pine sawfly,
although the spruce budworm, he
said, has come in for its share of
attention.
Will Solve Problems
"Our efforts are directed toward
the solution of some of the prob-
lems arising as a result of the ac-
tivities of these pests," Prof. Gra-
ham stated. "These insects are en-
emies of forest trees and have al-
ready caused heavy losses." The
larch sawfly, he said, has in the
past 20 years destroyed more than
69 per cent of all the merchantable
tamarck in the Lake states. The
spruce budworm, during the same
period, has destroyed more than
200,000,000 cords of balsam fir in
the same area, in New England, and
in eastern Caanda. "The wood thus
destroyed would be sufficient to
supply our paper mills with raw
material for halfa century," Prof.
Graham remarked. ,If cut and
stacked in a pile four feet wide and
fifty feet high such a volume cf
wo d would be sufficient to encircle
the earth at the equator."
"Results of our studies show that
losses of this sort probably can be
avoided by the application of prop-
er methods. of forest management.
What the best methods are we can-
not say as yet. That is the purpose
of our forest insect investigations.
Progress Is Made
"We have, however, made consid-
erable progress and already have
been able to make some definite
recomendations. We have deter-
mined, for example, that outbreaks
of the spruce budworm originate in
forest areas where balsam fir is
predominant. By favoring the more
valuable spruce and pines the re-
sultant reduction in the abundance
of balsam fir in the forest out-
breaks the spruce budworm will be
practicaly impossible. We have also
determined that certain environ-
mental conditions are favorable
and others unfavorable to the mul-
tiplication of the larch sawfly.
"Thus by studying the insects in
their relation to their environment
we hope to deevlop methods of for-
est management that will make our
forests as 'insect proof' as possible,"
he concluded.

IS UES TOF SCHIOJL
Dean William Russell of Teachers
college, Columbia university, will be
the guest of the faculty and gradu-
ate students of the school of Edu-
cation at a luncheon to be given
this noon at the Michigan Union.
Dean Russell is spending the week-
end in Detroit and will come from
that city to Ann Arbor this morn-
ing.
Before his appointment at Co-
lumbia in 1927 Dean Russell was
dean of the college of education at
the University of Iowa. In recent
years he has been' actively engaged
in studying various phases of inter-
national education and has served
as adviser to several foreign gov-
ernments in aiding them to develop
their educational policies. In 1921-
22 he was member of the China
educational committee; in 1925-27
he was the American delegate to
the world federation of educational'
associations, and during 1925 was
acting director of the Institute ofj
International Education.
Speaking before the American
Association for Adult Education in
its session this week at the Uni-
versity of North Carolina, Dr. Wil-
liam John Cooper, Federal Commis-
sioner of Education, declared that
the present educational level of
American voters presents a hazard
in the social and economical life of
the country.
With an average sixth or seventh.
grade education,!which is the case
of the American voting body, Dr.
Cooper believes that such an. elec-
torate can hardly be expected tol
solve intelligently such problems as
are presented by the complexity of
modern life. He recommended the
further expansion of the adult edu-
cation movement, which provides
for post-school study.
The chief danger, according to
the educational administrator, lies
in the fact that America is now a
creditor nation, and that as such
the old order of isolation is no
longer possible. The new problems
of international tariffs and debts
can not be met with the equipment
of the past
