iset mefore him. Then he yawned
rolled up his sleeves, picked up a
huge razor-like broad-axe, tested
it with his thumb, twirled it over
his brawny shoulder, and in a
deep bass voice demanded:
"Fetch 'em on I'l show you
how to butcher the biggest tater
bug that ever grew!"
Beetle Attack Forests
Pine beetles could be kilied
that way, too. A beetje an eisht
of an inch long, and as slupjrish as
a slue:, might be assassinated by
a stalwart man with a broad-axe
or even a good steel maul. But
wh41e the one was beinj; massa
cered, a million others would be
growing up, crawling, boring,
gnawing and they'd soon out
number the beetle killers. It may
work with tater-bugs, but it's too
slow for pine bugs.
The pine beetle is making a bee
line for the Orepon pine forests.
He needs a good killing, for if he
isn't checked, the Oregon pine
forests will one day look like
Egyptian mummres dead, dried
up, and ready to blow away in
powder.
The forestry department is try
ing to head off this dangerous
pest. It is a man's job, however,
for the life habits of the creature
make it almost impossible to seg
regate. It goes from one live tree
to another, with no pause in the
ground or in the rubbish of the
forest where so many other tree
pests can at some time during
their life history be trapped either
in the egg. or as larva, or in the
developed beetle form. Almost
the only way to check the crea
ture's ravages is to spot the trees
it infests and destroy them.
How tho Beetle Works
The beetle bores its way through
the outer bark of the tree into the.
growing wood, and then begins to
tunnel its way between the bark
and the wood proper. It poes,. a
little way, cuts a gallery for an
egg deposit, then goes back and on
to many other galleries, to repeal
the egg-laying process. The eggs
finally develop into the larva,
which continue the boring process
until perhaps the whole tree is
girdled or infested by msfly
thousands of insects.
. The beetle leaves the larva
stage in early summer and eoes on
are two varieties nf r
pine beetle operating in the wen.
One affects the suger pine only,
the other is found mostly in the
yellow pine, but will attack the
sugar pine also. In general, the
pest is found to attack the weeker
or less thrifty trees, just as other
disease germs attack iha
healthy throughout th whr.: i
nul and vegetable world. A vol
untary CUlling Of the wenker
trees in a supervised forest is one
posible solution of the warfare
against the pest.
The state forestry department
Is gathering all the data possible
tor a vigorous fight against this
forest menace. The splendid pine
rorests of the Klamath country,
and of other sections of Oregon
are worth a big fight
