Image description

Two years ago a pest affected thousands of trees. Now another pest has been discovered that has attacked over 100 hectares of forest. In the past, the only way to fight it was to turn over the attacked trees and destroy the larvae by burning them. Since this method cannot be used now because of the danger of forest fires, a chemical agent is used which has only recently been discovered. About one hundred volunteers are working with hand pumps filled with insecticide. Taken on 20 October 1965 in Val d'Illiez, Canton Valais.
