Abstract

Once again a spruce budworm epidemic threatens to destroy large volumes of timber in the Northeast. One defense against the budworm is to cut and utilize trees in those stands in which the budworms are most apt to feed and breed. In this report the author presents three practical methods of determining what trees or stands should be cut first.
