when they appear in vast numbers that
? . their presence and the damage they ln-
fllct is noticed by any but expert en
' tomologtats. Some Idee, of the damage
to the for eat reaouroes from insects may
: ,i be gained from the statement that la
the United State they kill annually an
5 amount of timber the estimated valae
i : of which Is r fully iez.500.000. This

v.. The forests of Oregon have not been
Immune from insect depredation. : On
' K the contrary, the, direct money loss to
: Oregon from the injurious work of the
f Insect has been 'greater than In most
,'ether stales. More or. less Injury has
j been done to. the Douglas fir, spruce,
J. larch and sugar pine throughout their
' range within the state. However, far
, . the greatest damage has been Inflicted
j; upon lodgepole pine and western yellow
V Pine In the northeastern portion of the
state. The Infested Umbered areas are
'. located prmclpally In Wallowa, Baker
and Union (counties. In this locality It
V- ,1 esUmated that more than nine tenths
' of an excellent stand of lodgepole pine,
V en an area of 118,000 acres, has . been
killed in the last five years by pine
beetles. - From the lodgepole pine stand
4 the beetles have gradually spread to the
' yellow pine forests, so that for several
' f . years past thousands of acres ef splen

devastated annually.

concerning these Insects is brought out
v ia the lnforraaUon that has been eol
, lected relative to the life history of the
; western pine beetle, which is practically
i identical with that cf the mountain pine
. f beetle ' . .. '. .
The western pine beetle is as ordl-
. nary appearing brown beetle, having a
stout cylindrical body from one-eighth
- io one-fifth of an Inch In length. Its
' favorite victims are yellow pine and
sugs' pine, and It Is particularly de
,atructive In California, eastern Oregon
.i end' Washington and western Montana.

" The adult beetles lay their eggs dur-
' . irg July, August and September. in
.: 'js winding egg galleries excavated through
' the inner layers of the living and dying
. bark. They begin to hatch In from five
u'.. to ten days, and commence tranaformlng
Into pupae In August, continuing to
.I-., transform until cold weather prevails.
tiitat middle of AUgOs't fhe pupae
I begin to transform to adults, emerging
from the trees . in October, to fly to
other trees and commence a new attack.
i Some of the insects, of course, over-
winter in the parent trees as larvae or
: young beetles.
If the beetles are not abundant they
i prefer to attack weakened trees, but
t- If they occur in abnormal numbers they
; de not hesitate to attack large, vlgor-
:Ous trees. . Usually the numerous wlnd-
i In g egg galleries beneath the bark com-
pletely girdle the trees, causing their
; death before the brood emerge. Trees
I attacked early in the season usually
I ; have the foliage fade In August and
September, while the foliage of those at-
tacked In September may remain green
until the following spring. In moat in-
stances all of the broods will have
; emerged by the time the foliage has
; turned brown and has begun to fall.
. The Scheme for Destruction.
: The scheme devised for the control
of these destructive Insects consists Of
destroying infested trees during thoee
! ; seasons of the year when it Is certain
that all the different stages, larvae,
; pupae and adult, are in the bark. In
, this way it is proposed to reduce the
( , - Insects, numerically, to such an extent
that they will confine their activities
j ' i dying timber, for If the number Is
i " once reduced it Is probable that the
many natural enemies of the pine
H X beetles will be able to keep them in
, V hch-
-' That the government and the timber
; r owners are alive to the seriousness of
the insect depredation in northeastern
, , ,, 5 Oregon Is indicated by the following
xwbcib irom a circular letter issues
frort the office of the secretary of air- j
riculture:
"The forest service has allotted not
to exceed 325,000 for in Bert mntral
work on the national forests, the gen
eral land office has expressed a wllllng-
ness and desires to take action wherever
It is specifically advised on the public
.' domain, and the Oregon State Land
board has expressed a similar desire
' , t take nny action wfthin its means and
power to undertake advised work on
i ' state lands.
' j Timber Owners Put Tp rnndU
' "An organisaUon of private owners
of Umber knd timber lands In Baker
t and Grant counties has from 33000 to
36000 subscribed or available for co
, spsraUve Insect xonirol work and ex
'1 ! pact to secure-, ea much more. Many
. lndependentfrowner have expressed a
wflllnfeness to do their reapectlve- shares
of work required on their lands and to
v ' , coopers t jn the required disposal of
infeetatton on adjacent land. The bu-
reau of entomology will, have three,
and part of the time four, nf Its agents

through advice and instructions, in car-
mntjnput the essenUai details In the

It - is believed, in addition to the
facts determined as to the character and
extent of the depredations, that the

Uon on certain features of the problem.
as a result of the instructions-and dem
onstrations, ; will enable the federal of
ficials and private owners to accom
plish more this- spring for each dollar
expended than could have been accom
plished last spring with $10 to 320.'
Zlre Xasard Is Xncreased.
' Realizing that insect killed timber
not only . reduces the . forest resources
of the state, . but also greatly increases
the fire hazard, the state board of for
estry is Uking an active Interest in
this work. State Forester Elliott re
cently visited the government Insect
staUons in Wallowa and Whitman coun
ties, and will assist the control in every
way possible. The wk is being 'con'
WIctsadlttBfroT"itatl6ns' and
will be pushed 'vigorously in order that
as many, as possible of the' Infested
trees may be destroyed before the
beetles begin to emerge.
