estimated. .
"However. 1 believe Ihe height
of beetle destruction waa reached
last summer for two reasons: first.
Ihe winter Inraslon of the beetles
' showed a distinct decrease compar
1 ed with the summer: and second
lhat ihe tall of 192 and the win
ter of 1 914-27 haa been exception
ally wet. bringing a faster tree
growth and Ihus building up more
resistance lo Ihe destructive beetle.
"This latter factor la the most
esaenllnl. In a dry year trees
grow slowly, sap flows thinly, th
tree's resistance Is at low ebb. A
wet year brings faster growth and
Ihe hugs ran not overcome the tree
but In (urn aro drowned out by the
sap."
Mr.' Keen aald that areas which
had been controlled In 1924 were
In much belter shape from the
standpoint of beetle Infestation

as between the private owned tim

Fremont National forest, thai the
private owned areas had suffered
I the greatest loss.
