Controlling Timber Beetles 



Announcement has been made by the Seirelary of Agriculture at Wash- 

 ington that a campaign against pine bark beetles on a tract of 90,000 

 acres in Oregon has resulted in showing that it is practicable to curb 

 the activities of this destructive pest. The work was carried out for 

 experimental purposes. The number of trees billed on the tract where the 

 repressive measures were executed was 32.4S0 less than on an adjoining 

 tract of the same size and similar conditions, whore no work was done. 

 It is well known that the pine beetle is one of the most destructive forest 

 agencies, millions of trees being killed in some years. Progress in the 

 direction of control of the pest will be welcomed by all lumbermen.

 either as manufarturers or merchants.
