(d) Barking.— Removal of the bark from logs held in storage is 
essential in species which are hable to severe depreciation by insects, 
sap stain, and decay. However, since barking will increase the 
damage from cracking and splitting, it is a question of the choice of 
two evils, action in the matter depending entirely upon the charac- 
teristics of the timber dealt with, and the circumstances under which 
it is handled. 
To be at all efficacious against insect attack, the barking should be 
done within a few days after the trees are felled. 
Logs cut from girdled trees do not require barking. The bark ot 
most species is destroyed and falls off during the period of girdhng. 
In the case of logs cut from ungirdled trees the following species 
should be barked immediately after felling. However, the species 
which are starred should not be barked unless the peeled logs can be 
well protected from the sun according to recommendations above. 
It must be remembered that the species which are starred will be 
liable to severe damage by insects if the bark is left on. The intensity 
of the damage will be governed largely by the time of year that the 
trees are felled {vide Chapter X — Damage to Timber by Insects).
