Dr. T. E. Snyder left Washington October 20 to consult with the 
officials of the city of Albany, Ga., regarding the prevention of dam-— 
age by termites, with possible reference to modification of the build- 
ing code, and the regulation of firms engaged in professional control 
of termites. He returned to Washington October 27. 
Dr. H. J. MacAloney, in charge of the field laboratory at Am— 
herst, Mass., spent three days in Washington in the latter part of Oc— 
tober poirernne with the chief of the division in regard to results of 
the past summer and plans for the coming winter. 
The latter part of September was spent by J. C. Evenden, in charge 
of the field laboratory at Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, C. B. Morse, Assistant 
Regional Forester, R-4, and Supervisor Stoddard, of the Targhee National 
Forest, in checking over the results of the control operations in 1930 
directed against an epidemic of the mountain pine beetle in the lodge-— 
pole pine forests thereabout. After his return from the Targhee, Teton, 
and Wyoming Forests, Mr. Evenden spent the first few days of October in 
helping the officers of the Madison National Forest institute a survey 
of a reported outbreak of the mountain pine beetle in the lodgepole 
pine stands of that forest, and plan for control work in 1931. The week 
of October 6 to 11 was spent by Mr. Evenden in Glacier National Park, 
where he assisted in the institution of a project for the control of an 
epidemic of the Douglas fir beetle (Dendroctonus pseudotsugae Hopk. ) 
in the Douglas fir forests of that park. 
A. L. Gibson, of the field laboratory at Coeur d'Alene, and three 
assistants, all of whom have been making an insect survey of the Beaver— 
head National Forest, spent several days in September assisting the of- 
ficials of the Madison National Forest by surveying a certain portion of 
it: 
Mr. DeLeon and Mr. Terrell, of the field laboratory at Coeur 
d'Alene, are also assisting on the survey of the Madison National For-— 
est and are working in the vicinity of West Yellowstone, Mont.
