They also attack -- many shade trees and shrubs including elm, birch, aspen and two-qua- rt willow. "The caterpillars eat leaves from trees and when the population is moderately high, as it appears to be this year, we may see areas of severe defoliation, said Colleen Keyes, forest health coordinator for the Division of For- m estry, Fire and State Lands. "Usually the trees recover later in the summer, but several years of defoliation could cause irreparable harm.

"More than 500 middle level teachers and 100 schools have participated in the sympo- sium during the past three ' years. Since the Carnegie Council issued its report, research sponsored by a variety of state and private agencies indicates a significant transformation is occur- i ring in middle level schools where those recommendations have been taken to heart, said Martin Tadlock, USU professor who is chairing the symposium. Where all eight recommendations are in place, several things seem to happen, Tadlock said. Large schools create a smaller school within a school where stu-dents dont get lost as easily in the system. A "teaming structure is provided where a closer working relationship can exist between teachers. In addition, teachers are provided common planning time where they assemble to formulate ways to better meet the needs of students they share, TWSock said. Also teachers are available to meet with parents in team conferences. Tbachers cor- 2.

The Cankerworm may be controlled with several types of insecticides. "A biological insecticide specific to caterpillars can be found in most nurseries under the names Thuricide or Dipel, and contact insecticides, such as Malathion, can also be used," added Keyes.
