|BLACK HILLS PINE
IS NOW in DEMAND
Forestry Bureau Receives Appli-
cation for Purchase Of
100000 Feet.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, June 9.-The forestry
bureau has received an application for
the purchase Of 50,000,OO0 feet of west
ern yellow-pine timber in the Black
Hills reserve, located principally in
South Dakota. This timber is classed
as dead and insect-infested.
For, the past five years bark beetle
has been preying on the. yellow pine
of that region and has done immense
damage. The beetle bores thru the
bark and the larvae seriously affect
the wood. 1t becomes discolored to
the depth of three or four inches, its
strength is destroyed and it thus be-
comes useless for timber. Every. year
the condition Of the infested timber
becomes worse.
Under the law none Of the timber
in this reserve can be exported from
the state. The local demand is linn
tied and covers chiefly railroad ties,
mine props and general construction
purposes.
During the early stages Of the beetle
attack the timber is good and should
be promptly cut. There is possibly a
quarter of a billion feet of such tim.
Der now in reserve, much of which will
be wasted, as home consumption is not
large enough to use it before the bee
ties have rendered it valueless.
