Brown Birch Borer Moves Mill From Milo to Georgia
In Milo Maine the brown birch borer threatens the American Thread Company's spool mill. By late 1949 the mill will relocate to Georgia, taking ninety local jobs with it. The pest has damaged birch wood used for spools for eight years, prompting concern over local livelihoods and the need to control pests. Georgia offers gumwood suitable for spools, underscoring the regional shift in supply.
