of Jack Kimball, secretary of tho

Of tho genus Dendroclonous, two
kinds aro proscnt, montlculae, or

types ontcr tha tree nt tho butt, but
tho workings of tho tnontlculno aro
characterized by vertical galleries,
whllo tho other borer works In crlss
cross ovals. Tho brovlcomls Is consid
ered tha more destructive.
Another prevalent genus Is tho Ips,
which attacks tho trees from tho top
and works In tho limbs. Tho Ips tins'
been considered a secondary typo, a
sort or a camp follower of tho Dod
roctonus armies .heretofore, but In
tba oxperlmcntal work of Mr. Kim

yesterday. It has been proven that
tho Ips Is primarily destructive. An
Instance wan cited whom 102 trcet
