Animals Who Kill Beetle Destroying
Birds Must Go.
A special effort is being made by
the forestry department to extermi-
nate the bark beetles which have been
playing such havoc among the pine
forests Of the Hills. Mr.. Pinchot, the
head superintendent of the forest re-
serve, has been making a visit to the
Hills, and with Capt Seth Bullock has
mapped out plan Of warfare. As
above five million feet of lumber has
been destroyed, action has become
urgent. The first fight will be made
upon the red squirrels. It has been
decided to offer what is practically a
bounty for the hides of these little
animals. Every boy who will bring to
any forest ranger ten tails, heads OF
scalps of red squirrels will receive free
q box of fifty 22-caliber cartridges.
One OF the best ways to exterminate
the beetle is to exterminate the red
squirrel. as the animal destroys the
birds, especially the woodpeckers,
which are the natural foes Of the
beetles.
