CHITTENDEN, In Charge of Truck Crop and Special Insect Investigations. RECENT DAMAGE TO FOREST GROWTH. Recent years have witnessed extensive destruction of forest growth, particularly of pine, spruce, and chestnut, in portions of the United States east of the Rocky Mountains. This injury has been very gen- erally attributed to insects, and there is evidence that certain wood and bark-boring species have largely contributed to the work of demolition. The death of the chestnut trees was laid to the account of the little buprestid borer, Agrilus bilineatus, which forms the subject of this cir- cular, and the destruction of the coniferous trees was, in like manner, accredited to the scolytid barkbeetle, Dendroctonus frontalis L. A peculiar and interesting feature of what may be called primary insect injury is, that it was due very largely to native species not pre- viously known to be injurious. Another singular fact is that the invad- i __ ing forces disappeared as suddenly as they came, and, as is usual in such a cases, we are as ignorant of the reason for the insects’ disappearance as we are of the inducing cause. As usual also in so many similar in- | stances, these cases of forest-tree injuries were not brought to the atten- | tion of entomologists until too late for thorough investigation or ' experiment. Since the year 1893 the pine-infesting species has not been reported! - as injurious, and, in fact, it seems to have entirely disappeared. The opinion has been expressed that its disappearance was due to a fungous disease, and it is possible that such is the case. The chestnut-boring species, however, is still living throughout its accustomed range and in _ normal abundance. PROBABILITY OF FUTURE DESTRUCTION OF TREES. : The severe wind storms that swept over the South Atlantic States | during the year 1896, particularly that of September 29, which was | The text of this circular is practically the same as in the original edition, with | the exception of the pagination and some slight corrections under ‘‘ remedies.’’ \ | A6——34 \ : 2 the severest ever known in this region and caused very extensive destruction of forest and shade trees, will doubtless result in still greater destruction to trees through the opportunities that the dead, dying, or injured trees afford for the propagation of injurious insects. Jt should be borne in mind that wood and bark boring insects generally prefer timber that has been recently killed, and that when this is not available they will attack injured, weakened, or even healthy growth. It is thus quite possible that we may, within the next year or two, hear of a similar invasion to that experienced a few years ago. As the two-lined chestnut borer, by which name we may know Agrilus biline- atus, 18 a species very likely to cause injury in the immediate future, it has been chosen as the subject of the present circular, and the mat- ter here presented is, in the main, a compilation of facts published in a former article by the writer in Bulletin No. 7, n. s., of this office. REPORTED INJURY TO CHESTNUT TREES. A few of the more important instances of reported injury to chestnut trees may be enumerated herewith. In 1891 an instance was reported from Botetourt County, Va., which, it is more than probable, was due in part to the species in question. The following year the two-lined chestnut borer was found to be injurious in the District of Columbia. In 1893 serious injury was reported to the chestnut in Fairfax County, Va., about 75 per cent of the chestnut trees, it was estimated, having been killed by this insect in that and adjoining counties. It was then too late for investigation looking toward remedial experiment, but cer- tain facts were gained concerning the insect and its damage, which will be summarized under another heading. During the same year speci-. | mens of the work of this insect in oaks were brought to the writer’s attention from Richmond, Il]. Similarly affected trees were noticed at the same time by Mr. G. B. Sudworth, of the Forest Service of this Department, in the neighborhood of Ann Arbor, Mich., and other cases of injury were reported by Dr. A. D. Hopkins in and around Madison, Wis. PREDISPOSING CAUSES OF INJURY. There has always been a certain degree of skepticism as to whether perfectly healthy forest growth would, save in exceptional cases, suc- cumb to insect attack. There is more often a predisposing agency at work to cause a weakened condition of the trees. Whatever brought this about in the cases reported, there is every appearance that the insect in question multiplied in such numbers that it was forced to attack living, if not healthy plants or perish, as it belongs to a group that does not develop in timber which has been dead long enough for the bark to become separated from the wood. Such an enfeebled condition as suggested might be caused by bac- terial or fungous disease; or it might be due to a variety of other A6 34 3 factors, among which may be numbered too close growth, defective drainage, insufficiency or a superabundance of subterranean moisture, or too great dryness; or, again, it might be produced by a dry spell sud- -denly followed by an unusually wet one, or vice versa. In the present case it seems more than probable that the soil had undergone some change that interfered with the growth of the trees, or that a combina- tion of unfavorable atmospheric and soil conditions accomplished the supposed predisposing debility. The withering and dying of leaves induced by a spell of hot, dry weather following cool, moist weather, and known as sun scald, might be provocative of the debilitated condi- dition favorable to the attacks of this borer. DESCRIPTION OF THE INSECT. For the identification of the beetle and its larva, the accompanying illustration (fig. 1) is presented. The beetle, shown at a, is elongate and subcylindrical, like others of its genus. It is black, with a more or less greenish tinge. The sides of the thorax and elytra are clothed with light golden-yellow pubescence, and the elytra are each marked with a stripe of the same color. It measures about three-eighths of an inch in length, and is fully three times as long as wide. An enlarged antenna is shown at the left (a), and below are the claws of the hind feet of ee: Fig. 1.—Agrilus bilineatus: a, Adult beetle; b, both sexes.

In color it is milk-white or slightly yellowish, except the mouth-parts and the peculiar anal fork, which are dark brown. Its length is nearly twice that of the adult beetle. The pupa, which is white like the larva, is shown at d. DISTRIBUTION ; TIME OF APPEARANCE. This species is native to the United States, occurring from Maine and Massachusetts southward to Texas and westward to the Rocky Mountains. It will thus be seen that the species occupies what are known as the Transition and Upper and Lower Austral life zones; but injuries have been reported only from the Upper Austral zone, which comprises a considerable portion of the most fertile and most populous parts of our country and that portion in which the chestnut attains its A6—34 a highest development. The districts in which injuries have been reported are in the District of Columbia and in the States of Virginia, West Vir- ginia, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Michigan; but in all probability the same species has been more or less troublesome in portions of Maryland, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and possibly Chio, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Tennessee. With such a wide distribution there would be expected a considerable variation in the periods of appearance of the beetle according to climate. In the latitude of the District of Columbia beetles have been captured no earlier than the last week of May, but they undoubtedly appear earlier, and farther south issue from the wood probably at least as early as April. At Ithaca, N. Y., the writer has observed these beetles on oak from May 26 to June 16; at Rosslyn, Va., they were noticed as late as July 4. NATURE OF DAMAGE AND MANNER OF WORK. The two-lined chestnut borer works, in its larval stage, just under the bark of the tree, making galleries which run mainly transversely beneath the bark and which are, when completed, from 6 to 10 inches in length. Although none has been observed that completely encircled a tree, the result, through the combined efforts of many individuals, is practically that of girdling. From its manner of work the insect can not be otherwise than injurious when it occurs in excessive numbers, as it undoubtedly stops the flow of sap, cuts off the natural supply of plant food and moisture, and thus greatly weakens and eventually kills the tree. The larval galleries occur from the base of the tree well up toward the top. It is obvious that only the earlier stage of the larva is passed between the bark and the wood; indeed, it is likely that the entire life of the insect may be passed, in some instances at least, entirely within the bark. A knowledge of the full life history of the species was not obtained, but it is approximately as follows: In the District of Columbia the adult beetles make their appearance in May and the early part of June, the particular season for their appearance varying according to season and locality, and deposit their eggs upon the trees. The larve work under the bark in the manner previously described, and by the follow- ing spring construct a chamber which, as far as observed in living trees, is always in the bark; but, in the case of small, dead trees, they work also in the wood under the bark and in the cells thus formed transform into pups. The pupal stage lasts about two weeks or more, according to locality and season, when the beetles again issue from the trees and lay eggs for another brood. In addition to chestnut this species infests white oak, scarlet oak (Quercus coccinea), and yellow oak (Q. velutina). A6——34 | ! Or OTHER BORERS IN CHESTNUT. As in most cases of insect damage, a considerable number of other species of borers and barkbeetles, as well as predaceous and scavenging species, follow the attacks of the primary borer, whether it be the par- ticular species under consideration or some other form. What may be _ considered as secondary species, judged by the nature of their attack, _ belong chiefly to the family Cerambycide, or long-horned beetles, but there are a few also which belong to the Buprestide, Scolytide, and Curculionids. There are also numerous other families of different orders represented, but it is not within the province of this circular to consider any but the present species, which is the one that has been the cause of the greatest injury in recent years. Many of the secondary forms of borers, although they do not attack or injure living trees, do - considerable damage to timber desired for building and similar purposes. PARASITIC ENEMIES. The two-lined chestnut borer undoubtedly has many insect enemies, as several genera of parasitic Hymenoptera are known to attack other species ofitsgenus. Ofthe observed species Spathius simillimus Ashm. is an undoubted parasite of this borer, as the circumstances of its cap- _ ture in the galleries of the boring larve indicate. It was exceedingly abundant in the vicinity of the District of Columbia during the later years of the chestnut infestation, and probably played an important role in reducing the numbers of its host. One other parasite was reared with this species, but has not been identified. PREVENTIVE AND REMEDIAL MEASURES. In the absence of a more complete knowledge of the life history and habits of this species, and of an opportunity to test the efficacy of pre- ventive and remedial measures against it, a somewhat general consid- eration of deterrents and remedies will be given. What is of value against the present species will apply, in the main, to many other tree borers. After borers once obtain possession of a tree it is next to impossible to save it. Some few species of trees are able to withstand borer attacks for years, while others succumb, unless remedies are applied, in a year or two after the attack begins. Large forms of boring insects, such as the round-headed apple-tree borer and other species of Saperda, may be cut out of the wood with a knife or may be killed by the insertion of a pliable wire into the open- ings of their galleries in the bark. But this is laborious and impracti- cable against small borers like Agrilus. Our chief reliance is in preventives, in the employment of mechan- ical precautionary measures that will serve the double purpose of effec- A6-—34 6 tually deterring wood and bark boring insects from boring into or depositing their eggs on the trees and from effecting their egress through the bark once they have begun their attack, and in other mechanical measures. | The most important requisite is clean culture; in fact, little of sub- stantial value can be accomplished remedially without it. Owners of forest land who have sufficient financial interests at stake will do well to cut down the dead and to trim the injured trees. For the protection of chestnuts all dead oak as well as chestnut trees, and such as are in- fested and too feeble to recuperate, should be cleared away and burned. | Much can be accomplished by simply removing the bark of the dead )}} timber. Unfortunately, in too many cases storm-killed and injured trees are carelessly permitted to remain as a nidus for borers, and when this wood becomes too dry and the bark too loose for the insects, those that have bred in them emerge and migrate to neighboring living trees. | A frequent and potent source of injury is in the almost universal cus- tom of permitting cut or sawed timber to season without removing the bark, a custom followed alike by the forest landholder, the general §), farmer, and the mill owner. Even the family woodpile may become a center of infestation. Wood that is cut during winter becomes infested the following spring and early summer, and when left to season through the summer and autumn months should be consumed or otherwise dis- posed of before the following April. * : ~ - ~ - -- . ‘ oe ee “se “ore 2 ere Leet) eo @ ws 4 wow e ee + ob t-puewe owt err ee ee Se ee ea ¢ &*b-0-< sad Tr a - beh e-ore ~ were oer eee! ee he 22 Oe HO a -4-@ “we e-k Ott ~+ ne oe ~ree oe é ** ~ : *¢ 4 aoe ~ 4 4 “o~ &” ims © ‘owen oe we - i ~-s w we ee el ee ee eat 5 @-@ © + ~~) a-e ta Ot - i. . + ~~ ern 4 _~ - ‘ we 4: bone . oe ot, ern « eee Oe ere “——* mse e a ne + tos me ~ «4 ‘ 4 : “we ~<- . ao-# = - — ound vt an aes - -iw (wee a" oe os we “e . ow » ° oe eco . . = er or a 7 io -8 =-* ° - a+ “ves r ‘ * —— ba bs2— . ® ha “<« ' . * lied “* “~~ “eg « ~~ “ _ . — —~ “6 - — . — ied ow “~~ roe - vw + a ~ 7 e+ eren 6 t-te @ e + - 4 ae = aed re tee - oy ones . 41 ives ee we OS oa rere “+ vows owe +e ~ * ~~ - Patt toe Petre « ~ ~ ane a Se ee - . . = “ . - aad wre cree - i a - ~ * . weave - wex « Pm — 1s ~~ © -.s ’ -- = = + - . ™/ — ~ d . ~~ “ere “ee -— 74 _ ° _ 4 = “ - oe * J ~ 4 - * . + * eee ow “ e * were - ee ee ‘ . * e — 4 ., 0 aw a oe el — ote Oe +e “~* oot ese . - - - 2<" 4m o's: ~b 0-064 6 4 6 et eet Oe Hee * YO OOS ‘ ” . we . - . _ “> « : se “-« ~*~ oe . * = re ~eewe ~~ oe a ee ee ll eé " of sw ’ + * ~ - ~ -_ “4 ot “oe © ~~ et *,av owes e owe WR ae ew wene * oe™ es we * . ~ <¢ - + “ remem ~~ owe ve oe © + ew ‘* —e4 @ + 4 eee Ot re wees 64> a ” ~ - . ~ ~~ “- ™ . - a Toe 74s were 6 * ~~ ae ~ ~ sw. oe 4 “* *+* © 6 © --s * ~—- ~ “* F ooo © ” =n - ~~ - ‘ “* ~~ ~~ ee ee es ~~ oe 4h ere eed © ew ee wwe 8 Pee owe “ew + tw e-* § enw : .
