Timberland Devastated by Worms Near Cloudcroft NM
An outbreak of hemlock bud worms has nearly destroyed 8000 to 10000 acres of forest about 20 miles southeast of Cloudcroft. The Forest Service hired Brown's Air Service of Ruidoso to spray with DDT and a plastic fuel base. The crew led by Ralph Brown sprayed over 6000 acres since June 18, using about a gallon per acre.
