the actual killing OF the trees is due
to the attacks of the bark beetle, the
attacks of this insect are invariably
preceded by attacks on the foliage by
an altogether different insect, the
needle miner. The latter attacks the
needles of the lodgepole. first discol0r-
ing the foliage and eventually causing
complete defoliation. Curiously enough
these attacks, although they may con-
tinue for several years, seldom are
directly responsible for their death.
They do, however, sap the vitality
of the trees which, so weakened, fall
easy prey to the bark beetle. which
follows in due course. The lodgepole
stand in and around the TuOlumne
Meadows is now threatened with de-
struction similar to that suffered by
the stands in the Cathedral Creek and
Tenaya Lake basins.
During the season of 1918 the west
ern pine beetle and mountain pine
beetle killed approximately 6OO,OOO
feet of merchantable yellow-pine and
sugar-plne timber within the Marble
Fork and Cactus Creek basins In Sc
quota national park, according TO rec
ords from 1873 trees marked and stud
led by the United States bureau OF
entomology. A fund left over from the
project in the Middle Fork of the
Kaweah river (unit. No. 10, which had
been completely was expended in the
treatment of this infestation during
the spring of 1913, but was insufficient
to cover the entire area involved.
During the fiscal year 1919 the bu-
reau of entomology carried on some
work with its own resources in order
to protect the area treated in 1913 and
also to demonstrate and test new
method of applying the percentage OF
control. A method of destroying the
broods of>the western pine beetle with
out resorting to the use of fire is being
developed. which, 1t t. believed, will
make possible the continuance of con-
troll work throughout the summer.
Regarding eastern work the agricul-
tural department says. in part:
Continued experiments with chem
ical substances applied TO finished and
crude forest products show that very
few of the many substances that have
been tried are effective. and. with
crude products, none of them is so
economical as simple and inexpensive
management In logging and manufac-
ture which viii render the conditions
of the bark and the wood unfavorable
to attack.
Continued studies of termite or
white ant damage to the woodwork of
buildings has led to the discovery that
one of the most destructive species
can not live II deprived Of moisture
In ground or foundation timbers.
THE recent appearance of the So
called seventeen-year locust. or peri
odical cicada, has given an opportunity

to the average infested tree, or, say,
$4,000 beetles to 1000 board feet of
timber. Since 1t requires an average of
about 10 beetles to the square foot to
attack and kill vigorous, healthy
tree. 1t will be seen that all the pine
timber of the western forests would
soon be destroyed were 1t not for nat
ural and artificial control.
Experiments to determine the time
of year TO cut and the methods of ham
ding mesquite for fuel, posts, etc, TO
avoid destruction by wood-boring in
sects, have been nearly completed, and
the results show that serious loss In
the Southwest can be prevented by
cutting the trees in the late fall and
early winter and piling the wood in
loose piles until 1t is thoroughly dry.
Damage to posts can be prevented by
cutting them at any time and laying
them on the ground where they will
receive the full force Of the sun, turn
Ing them occasionally so that the
young stages of the borers will be kill
ed by the heat.
Studies of damage to lead tele-
phone cables in California by wood
boring beetle have been continued. and
the results so far show that the beetle
is able TO penetrate alloyed substances
that are considerably harder than lead.
The problem is still unsolved. and II
will be difficult TO find a practical
means of controlling this pest. which
is able to put hundreds of telephones
out of commission by boring holes in
the cables. through which the water
enters, rendering the wire connection
useless until the place Is found and
repaired"
A feature of the national parks is
their magnificent forests. These for
ests are always In danger of insect
foes. Eternal vigilance is the price of
healthy forests. The work In general
has hardly been begun. II will have

priation of but S10,000-a sum INSULT
cient even for its protection and adj
mlnistration-insect control Is, of
course. practically neglected. The PEN
ally will be paid later.
In Yosemite survey Of the Yellow,
Sugar. and Jeffry pine areas of the
park made last spring developed the
fact that these species were excep-
tionally free from bark beetles, against
which an active control campaign has
been carried for several years. The
condition In the lodgepole areas is not
so hopeful; in fact. 1t is serious. Large
areas of this species have been en-
tirely killed from the effects of the
mountain-plne beetle during recent
years. the worst and most recent being
the almost complete destruction Of the
forests Of the Tenaya basin.

WashlngtOn.-Th department Of

probable that a fifth will be necessary
The first step is to secure, on forms

1918 clip.
The second involves the auditing of
these reports In detail to determine
whether the methods pursued and The
profits made are In accordance with
the regulations.
The third is the collection of excess
profits from those persons or firms
whose reports, after auditing, show
that such excess profits were made.
AS rapidly as they are received by
the department, all remittances for
excess profits are being deposited as
a special fund In the treasury of the
United States.
Discussing Excess Profits.
The fourth is a careful analysis of
each report which shows excess profits
with a view to working out the fair
est possible method of distributing
such profits. After this is done. the
department proposes to disburse the
excess profits by check of its own dis.
bursting officer drawn on the treasury
of the United States.
The fifth step will be an audit. In
the field. of the books and records of
dealers whose reports for any reason
seem to make this course advisable.
The first division of the work has
been very nearly completed. A rela-
lively small number Of approved deal
ers have failed to make reports, and
II Is believed that the transactions of
many OF these were so small as TO be
practically negligible,
II has been discovered that several
hundred wool dealers carried on their
business as usual during 1918 without
obtaining permits. AS the names Of
these dealers have been ascertalned
they have been required to furnish re,
ports similar in respect to those re-
Quired from permit holders and to pay
over their excess profits whenever II
appears that they have made more
than the regulations allowed. In 9th
or words, they are not allowed to de-
rive any advantage from having oper
ated In ignorance or violation of the
regulations. The discovery of many
of these unauthorized dealers was i'm.
possible until the reports of the 179
dealers in distributing centers were
audited, since the entire wool clip of
the country eventually passed through
their books either as purchases or
consignments.
The second division of the work,
