E BEETLE PEST
TIMBER ENEMY IN
SOUTHERN OREGON
During the last 10 years trees con
taining 1,500,000,000 board feet of yellow
pine timber in Southern Oregon have
been killed by the pine bark beetle, ears
A. J. Jaenicke, Inspect specialist for, the
United States forest, service who has
Just returned from a five months survey
of the infested area, made by himself,
together with representatives of the
U. S.. bureau of entomology,. Indian serv
ice and JClamath Lake County Forest
association.
-The .project involved in the proposed
appropriation by congrens of $150,000
and an equal amount by private timber
owners, includes 1,200,000 acres, con
taining 12.000.000.000 board feet of tim
ber, of which about half is on govern
ment land and the other half on private
lands. The government timber is located
on the Crater. Fremont, Klamath na
tional forests and Klamath Indian res
ervation in Orepin, and the Modoc na
tional forest in California. The valua
tion of the timber Infested Is 340,000,000.
C05TB01 METHOD STUDIED
The purpose of the survey .was two
fold, said Jaenicke, to ascertain the
amount of timber damaged and to de
termine the best effective control meth
ods. The survey party has located the
- worst centers of insect damage, and the
activity next spring, if funds are forth
coming, will be to concentrate In wip
ing out these centers. Unless control
work is done by both private owners
and the government, the timber will con
tinue to suffer at a rate which may
possibly exceed the damage which has
already occurred, because the beetles
are already established. The method will
consist of felling the trees in these cen
ters, stripping the bark and burning it.'
Work must be done before June as the
beetles emerge and fly away at that
Attention was first turned to the
Southern Oregon yellow pine bark
- beetle last spring, when, private timber
owners following a meeting at Klamath
Falls, appealed to Colonel Greeley,
United States forester, for aid in con
trolling the government land infested
area, the private owners maintaining it
was useless to attempt to combat the
beetles themselves, unletts similar meas
ures were taken on adjoining govern
ment land.
IHM90 IS NEEDED i I
Jaenicke was sent by Greeley on a
special mission to make estimates for
congressional appropriation, and reported
that $146,000 would be necessary for gov
ernment land control. This was the basis
for the present bill for $150,000 appro
priation that was introduced in congress
and has now passed the house.
The section of yellow pine affected is
. the finest stand on the Pacific coast,
says Jaenicke. Control measures will
be most effective next spring, hlnce the
infestation 1s temporarily on a decline
and the beetles have collected on a
comparatively small number, of trees.
Control measures will be most effective
if the beetles can be destroyed before
' they spread over a larger area.
Jaenicke reports the most cooperation
among private timber owners who are
eager to start control measures and who
wilt finance, the entire cost on their
lands. If any private owner ej ists who
is unwilling to--do ' his part, he is then
compelled to because of a law on the
Ofegon statutes, says Jaenicke. - '
