3A33ITT: I was under the same impression but one 

 of the experiments was on R tree not more than 6" or 8" in 

 dianetor and e hole res bored completely through the heart 

 of the tree end it is still living. These trees wore 

 treated from six months to a your'cnd a half ajjo End not one 

 of them has died. 



AR:".G73CE(J: That's a new one on me. 



3I3SIOV/: I would Hie to know if insect infesta- 

 tion is on the increase. 



LL: It ie increasing very rapidly in the 

 31oomfield District. Ilany more trees died this year than 

 ever before. 



/HUG: The sane is true in the Dornieville 

 District. 



3AB3ITT: I was of the opinion that this insect 

 business ras something new but v.1ien Mr. filler was through 

 my district he claimed that this hnd been ;oin on a ijroat 

 number of years Just about the same number of trees dying 

 each year and operating all over -the Forest. It is 

 certainly 'rilling timber and doin<j about as much Aararge as 

 the fires. 



3S?.?.IMA1T: I thought insect infestation ras on the 

 decrease on the Sl^orndo. 



UC.nLL.AlT: There Is more or less insect Infestation 

 throughout ray district in lodgepole pine, but I have only 

 boon in that country one ooason and cannot say whether it ie 

 on the decrease or not. 



PRATT: About all we can do is to continue our 

 improvement cutting and r*et such timber out of the woods as 

 fast as v;e cr.n. 



3I3HL07/: Me have a bug on this Forest on the 

 California Lumber Co. sale in the reproduction, but I pre- 

 sume it is owing to its sickly state. 



3A13ITT: The area was not cleaned up until more 

 than a year after bein- cut over which res no doubt the 

 cause of this beetle. 'This was tho engraver beetle and 

 after ror::in~ in the brush it rent to the young trees. 



A?J!3T?.Oi;a: I understand in T/ashin?ton Professor 

 "incaid hno discovered c. parasite that '"ill destroy such 

 bu;~s nnd believe such e.n ezporimont rould prove valuable on 

 thic Forest.
