were blown down in Maine during a storm in November, 1883, 

 less than 2 per cent of which was saved. ^ 



Timber blown down in the fall is free from insect pests until 

 the following April, after which the sap wood is soon rendered 

 valueless on account of the holes made by insects and by fungi 

 which enter these burrows and discolor the wood. 



Light storms frequently occur over many parts of the southern 

 forests and blow down individual trees. These can be saved 

 provided the timber is not too far distant from a mill. If the 

 amount of timber is sufficient to warrant it, small mills are 

 established to manufacture the timber into lumber. 



There is greater need for tornado insurance than for fire in- 

 surance on timber in the South, but the writer has no knowledge 

 of any such policies. 



The percentage of the total stand destroyed by storms in 

 other forest regions of the United States is comparatively small.
