downed timber, threatened by
bark beetle epidemics, has been
salvaged, particularly in acces
sible parts of the pine region.
However, the report adds that
"In the douglas fir region, be
cause of the large volume and the
Inaccessibility of much of the
windthrow, the salvage problem
has been greater. The douglas fir
beetle flocked into the down
trees, multiplied in great num
bers and generally emerged be
fore salvage could be completed.
As a result of this build-up of
beetles, a very serious outbreak
has developed in green timber.
Big Kill Estimated
"The heaviest known infesta
tions are in Coos, Douglas, Lane
and Linn counties in Oregon. Al
though data regarding the losses
is fragmentary, it is tentatively
estimated that bark beetles killed
several hundred million feet of
mature douglas fir. in 1951 in
Coos county alone."
The report continues, "The
severe wind storm of December,
1951, blew down a great amount
of green timber, thus intensify
ing the salvage problem and pro
viding additional favorable
breeding material for the beetles.
Making matters still worse, the
extensive fires of 1951 killed
much douglas fir that will prob
ably be heavily attacked this
spring. These recent windthrows
and firekills, unless salvaged
prior to April, 1953, in all likeli
hood will produce large numbers
of douglas fir beetles which will
expand the outbreak." .
Planning Outbreak Map
According to the report, a sur
vey is being undertaken to map
and evaluate all outbreak centers
of the douglas fir beetle in west
ern Oregon. The survey will be
conducted cooperatively by the
Oregon State Board of Forestry,
Weyerhaeuser Timber company
and the Bureau of Entomology
and Plant Quarantine.
The first phase of the survey,
scheduled to begin immediately
and to continue as weather per
mits, will be an intensive aerial
survey, the report says. Aerial
survey estimates will be checked
on the ground with owners of
forest land and public forest
