BUSY times At

often two or three inches in diameter
and four or five inches deep. Such an
amount of wood drilled from stick
of timber which is carrying load of
wires naturally weakens the strength
of the line.
1t would, of course, not be a diff |
cult matter to exterminate these birds. !
However, this it not desirable, as they
are among the most beneficial forms
of bird life native to this country be-
cause they destroy large numbers of
insects which seriously damage forest
and food crops. 1t seems, therefore,
| that methods should be undertaken
to compel the birds to revert to their
former habit of boring rather than to
exterminate them.
Frequent inquiries have been made
by the Forest Service in this connec-
ton, but the only information to date
which the government has been able
to obtain is that on a casual inspec-
ton of treated and untreated pole
lines in Louisiana. In that region it
was found that poles which had been
impregnated with creosote oil were
not attacked by the birds, whereas
untreated poles under the same condi-
lions were very severely injured.
Whether or not creosote will pre-
vent such attack is not definitely
known, but the service is investigating
this problem, and should this oil prove
preventive, it will fulfill to two
fold purpose: twill protect the poles
from decay and destruction from ami
NAL life. In southern Indiana, some
members of a traction company
thought they could prevent further
destruction of their poles by filling
the holes in the wood with stones
The birs however, simply drilled
around the stones and made conditions
much worse. This apparently does
not seem to be means of preventing
their depredations.
