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.

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.
