FOREST PROTECTION 133 



Notably so in the case of dense stands of beech, 

 spruce, white pine, ash; 



Notably on the West-South- West edge of a wood 

 lot. 



At Biltmore, Oak saplings along the macada- 

 mized roads; chestnuts on the arboretum 

 road; and hickories of small diameter have 

 been visited by the disease. 



(b) Do not remove the trees affected by sunscald; their 



removal will merely expose the trees in the rear, 

 and the damage will continue. 



(c) Do not remove, from endangered trees, by pnming, 



any living branches. 



(d) Time the progress of the axe properly in thinnings, 



preparatory cuttings, seed cuttings and removal 

 cuttings.
