Province ' escapes the beetle So far, B.C. seems to have escaped the attentions of scolytus, the beetle which carries the Dutch Elm fungus and has caused such devas- tation in Europe during re- cent years, The disease has-been found, in Washington State, however, and the Ministry of Forests is currently ‘con- ducting tests to find out if the multi-striatus vector of the fungus has begun an invasion of this province. Fifty traps, consisting of a sticky material and a chem- ical to attract’ the beetle, have been obtained. from Qhio. These traps have been distributed: in ‘the Victoria, Vancouver, north and south Kamloops and east and west Nelson regions. Even if the insect is found in B.C., it may not be carrying the fungus, which appears to haye first arrived in Canada by boat from Europe.
