AREA NOW CONTROLLED Control of th western pine beetle In a atand of ponderosn ptne In the Union Creek ranter station area was announced yesterday by Rogue River national forest headquarters. Control was attained In a week by a crew of 12 ERA men working under the supervision of the forest service. Infestation of the era had reached proportions of a mild epidemic, head quarters said. The Job consisted of felling, peel ing and burning the bark of 87 In fested trees that had been barked by trained "spotters" who were sent here by the Portland regional office. This method of fighting the pine beetle has proved to be highly suc cessful, headquarters said. The technique of the treating work was demonstrated to the EIIA crew by H. C. Obye, assistant supervisor who had four seasons of experience In Insect control on the Ochoco na tional forest in central Oregon be fore being transferred to tho Rogue. "Although there is always a nor mal Infestation of pine beetles In a pine stand, control action Is not practical ao long as loAses are con fined to an occasional tree." said Karl L. Janouch. forcnt supervisor. "In this case, however, as many es 24 trees were found dead In one group ind such circumstances la a good In dicator that the Infestation is In the epidemic stage. "It has been loomed that sufficient bcetlea emerge from one Infested tree to kill 11 other trees. W are anxious to stamp out this enemy of tho for est In the vicinity of Union Creek for the protection of valuable stumpnge and particularly for the preservation of recreational and scenic values." Presence of pine beetles in tho Union Creek era has been noted for the past two or three years but not until this year did the Infestation reach epidemic proportions, Mr. Jsnouch said. Btatlsttcs Bhow that the board-foot loss of poiulerousa pine from west trn pine beetle lnregon and Wash ington for the five-year period 1038 was about equal to the sawmill cut of the two states In the same period. Records show that the peak loss occurred in 1032 when beetles killed trees that would hove pro duced 1,700.000.000 board feet of lumber.
