PINE BEETLE NOT RECENT MENACE IN WESTERN FORESTS Tree Killed in Klamnth Region as Kurly as 1882, Says Speak er at Forum ' An Illustrated lecture on the pine beetle, delivered by J. M. Miller in charge of the western division of pine beetle control work, was the feature of the forum luncheon at the chamfer of commerce this noon. The somewhat technical subject of the beetle was clarified by Miller's talk and the slides which demon strated the destructive machinations of tho beWV p . The pine beetle Is-no i-recent menace to the western forests, -said Miller. ' Trees have been killed tn the Klamath forests as early as 1SS2. The beetle and the tree might be considered as two armies. It the beetles are In sufficient numbers, ,1116 life giving sap of the tree Is In tercepted and the tree dies. If the beetles ore few in number the beetles a:e eventually killed or drowned by the sap which flows from the roota to the buds and needles of the tree. Pictures were shown ' giving gmpblc testimony or the terrible de struction done to merchantable tim ber by tho pest, nnd the necessity of combatting tho evil if the western pino forests are to be saved. The methods of control wero also Illus trated, i i ATter tho treatment of the trees to kill the beetle, the timber Is mer chantable a. id lumber companies have turned the trees Into manufactu.'ed limber. I't was brought out that tb? amount spent on forest fire protec tion exceeded tljo amount expended on pine bee'le protection In Oregon in 1922 and that the timber loss from pine beetles In, southern Oregon nlono exceeded the timber loss from fire In the entire slate. .
