BARKBEETLES MENACE FORESTS 



Ravages of the barkbeetle which threat- 

 en the destruction of the yellow pine 

 forests about the Grand Canyon have 

 been temporarily checked, announces the 

 Forest Service, United States Department 

 of Agriculture. 



Two thousand trees within the Grand 

 Canyon National Park and nearly 4,000 on 

 the Kaibab National Forest have been 

 felled and peeled as a preventive measure 

 against the spread of this destructive in- 

 sect. 



At the request of the National Park 

 Service and the Forest Service, field agents 

 were sent by the Bureau of Entomology 

 last summer to e.xamine large patches of 

 ''red-top" trees on both sides of the Grand 

 Canyon Highway running north from the 

 park through the Kaibab National Forest. 



They reported that the trees were infest- 

 ed with the Black Hills barkbeetle and ad- 

 vised that immediate measures be taken to 

 cut the required percentage of infested 

 trees and peel the bark in order to de- 

 stroy a sufficient amount of the eggs and 

 larvae of the insect which are found be- 

 tween the inner and outer bark to stop 

 the depredation. 



A total of $9,000 was spent in cutting 

 6,000 of the larger and more heavily in- 

 fested trees. 



It is estimated that by this method be- 

 tween 50 and 60 per cent of the insects 

 were killed within the patches thus treat- 

 ed, but a much smaller percentage of the 

 total infestation, so that an equal amount 

 must be spent next spring in order to 

 prevent effectively further depredations.
