The report says of western held work: An especial Investigation of the Insert damage to crude spruce products for alrplnne stock In the states of Washington and Oregon showed that the greater part If not nl! of the damby proper age could be prevented methods of logging nnd production, with little or no additional cost. Exhaustive studies of Insect Investigation and control were continued In If Sequoia nnd Yosemlte national parks. Much new Information has been gained, and the methods of gathering nnd compiling field data have been standardized. A special study was completed on the Interrelation of forest tires and "isects on an area of about 2.000 acres ft southern Oregon. This area has been under observation since 1914, and the Are had burned over about 800 acres In 1918. The records show that previous to the fire the Insects hod killed 485.000 board feet of timber. The fire killed 170,000 feet, and subsequently d as well as the the slightly uninjured trees in the burned area were killed by beetles, which were attracted from the surrounding areas. It was noticed that the Infestation In the burned area Increased more than 1.000 per cent, but It was found that fire-injure- the infestation in the surrounding areas decreased. It was also found that the broods of the beetles In the trees failed to develop to much beyond the orlglnnl number that attacked the trees. So the fire did not contribute to an Increase of the beetles In general area or to the starting or extension of an epidemic of beetles. Tills result is of extreme Interest and hardly to be expected. The most careful study ever made of the history of an epidemic infesta- g beetles was comtion of pleted and a report submitted during the year. In the Itogue river area In about 48,000 acres near Ashland. Ore., the western pine beetle In 1914 caused the death of 340,000 board feet of pine timber. In 1915, 1,013.000 board feet were killed : 1,383.000 feet In 1910, nnd 508,000 In 1917. A count of the young and matured stages of the beetles tliut developed tn an average foot of bark, and also of the number of exit holes through which (he beetles emerged to attack other trees, showed that there was a notable decrease tn numbers during tho development of the broods each year tn the infested trees on account of the Increase of natural enemies and other disturbing factors. This helps explain why these beetle epidemics rise nnd fall within a limited period of years, nnd It explains how the western forests of yellow pine are nnturnlly protected from total destruction. These facts are especially significant in connection with the application of the percentage principle of control, as by aiding the natural forces which work against the abnormal Increase and epidemic shows the Importance of prompt recognition and prompt treatment of a threatened outbreak In order to prevent the great loss of timber which would occur before natural control became operative. "Another special study was made of the number of all stages of the western pine beetle In 330 square feet of Infested bnrk selected from (57 trees, which represented on average Infestation within an area of approximately 30 square miles. It was shown that there Is a large percentage of mortality between the young und matured stages In the developing broods, but that normally an average of about 150 beetles to the square foot of bark developed to the adult, or reproductive stuge, which would be 50,000 beetles tree-killin- How Do You Walk?

Since It requires an average of about 10 beetles to the squure foot to ottuck and kill a vigorous, healthy tree. It will be seen that all the pine timber of the western forests would soon be destroyed were tt not for natural and artificial control. Experiments to determine the time of year to cut and the methods of handling mesqulte for fuel, posts, etc, to Inavoid destruction by sects, have been nearly completed, and the results show that serious loss In the Southwest enn be prevented by cutting the trees In the late fait nnd early winter and piling the wood In loose piles until It Is thoroughly dry. Damage to posts can be prevented by cutting them at any time and laying them on the ground where they will receive the full force of the sun. turnso that the ing them occasionally young stages of the borers will be killed hy the heat. "Studies of damage to lead telephone cables In California by a woodboring beetle hnve been continued, and the results so far show that the beetle Is able to penetrate alloyed substances that are considerably harder than lead. The problem Is still unsolved, and It will be dlfileult to find a practical means of controlling this pest, which Is able to put hundreds of telephones out of commission hy boring holes In tho cables, through which the water enters, rendering the wire connection useless until the place Is found and repaired. A feature of the nntlonnl parks Is their magnificent forests. These forests are always in danger of Insect foes. Eternal vigilance Is the price of healthy forests. The work tn genernl has hardly been begun. It will hnve to he put on n secure basis financially and made n regular part of national park administration. In a pnrk like Rocky Mountain, whteh has nt present an annual appropriation of but $10,000 n sunt InsutU-clen- t even for Its protection nnd Insect control Is. of course, practically neglected. The pen-all- y will be pnld later. In Yosenilte a survey of the Yellow, Sugar, nnd Jeffry pine areas of the park mnde last spring developed the fact that these ieoles were exeep. tlonally free from hark beetles, ugalnst which nn nctlvc control campaign Ims heen carried for several years. Ti)e condition In the lodgepole areas Is not so hopeful ; In fact. It Is serious. Large areas of this species hnve heen entirely killed from the effects of the mountaln-plnbeetle during recent yenrs, the worst nnd most recent being the almost complete destruction of the forests of the Tetmyn basin. It Is of Interest to note that while wood-borin- g v Sealed Tight - txjuc the netunl killing of the trees is du to the attacks of the bark beetle, the attacks of this Insect are Invariably preceded by attacks on the foliage by an altogether different Insert, the needle miner. The latter attacks the needles of the lodgepole. first discoloring tho foliage and eventunlly causing complete defoliation. Curiously enough these attacks, although they mny continue for several years, seldom are directly responsible for their death. They do, however, sup the vitality of the trees which, so weakened, fall easy prey to the bnrk beetle, which follows In due course. The lodgepole stand In nnd around the Tuolumne Meadows Is now threatened with destruction similar to that suffered by the stands In the Cathedral Creek nnd Tennya Lake basins. During the tonson of 1918 the western pine beetle and mountain pine beetle killed nprpoxlmately (500,000 und feet of merchantable yellow-pin- e timber within the Marble sugnr-pln- e Fork and Cactus Creek basins tn Sequoia nntlonnl pnrk, nccordlng to records from 183 trees marked nnd studied by the United States bureau of entomology. A fund left over from the project In the Middle Fork of the Kuwenh river (unit No. 10, which had been completed) was expended In the treatment of this infestation during the spring of 1918, but wns Insufficient to rover the entire area Involved. During the fiscal year 1913 the bureau of entomology tarried on some work with Its own resources In ordei to protect the area treated In 191S nnd also to demonstrate und test n new method of applying the percentage oj control. A method of destroying the broods of tho western pine beetle without resorting to the use of fire Is being developed, which, !t - believed, will make possible the continuance of control work throughout the summer. Regarding enstern work the agricultural department says. In part: Continued experiments with chem-tea- l substances applied to finished and crude forest products show that very few of the many substances that have heen tried are effective, and, with crude products, none of them Is so economical ns simple nnd Inexpensive management In logging and manufacture which will render the conditions of the bnrk nnd tlie wood unfavorable to attack. "Continued studies of termite or white ant damage to the woodwork of buildings Ims led to the discovery that one of the most destructive species can not live If deprived of moisture tn ground or foundation timbers.
