Federal officials say pulp and paper companies are showing more interest in budworm control mesa- ures. A growing number are going on a sustained yield basis-planned cropping of their forest limits with future yield in mind.

This fact raises another hope for future control of the spruce bud- worm.

Dr. Prebble describes it .this

way: As more logging roads are built. fort-at operations can be freed from reliance on logging rivers. spread- ing the harvest over a wider area. Tlicn forests could be cut in I patchwork pattern. eventually pro- ducing a variety of age groups among trees.

Thus the risk of an outbreak due to extensive stands of balsam maturing at the same time would no longer exist.
