LARCH SAWFLY AGAIN ACTIVE
IN THE TAMARACK WOODS

Owners of lands upon which there
is second growth of tamarack tim
Der are due for another loss, accord
to staffman of the Bureau of ETY.
mology at Washington. The larch
fly, which in the years between 1909
and 1916 killed about 65 per cent
of the living tamaraek timber in
Minnesota, was reported last summer
from many parts of ntrohern Mime
sofa, from Wisconsin and even from
Canada.
The tamarack forests were show
ing signs of recovering from the raw
ages Of the larch sawfy which ended
ten years ago, but now it is feared
a reoccurrance is due next summer.
The larvae of the fly feeds on the
foliage of the tanIarack, and kills the
trees by keeping them stripped bare.
In the years during which the larch
sawfiy was the worst, it was esti-
mated that tamarack timber to the
amount of 1000, 10000 board feet
was killed. Most of this timber was
a loss, as at that time there was
little sale for dead tamarack. Some
of it is yet being marketed in the
form of fire wood, as standing dead
tamarack decays but little, and fur
nishes fine frewood.
Because so much of the growing
tamarack was killed, it became neces-
sary for the railroads TO seek other
timber for the manufacture of ties
which resulted in perfecting the pro.
cess of treating maple and birch fol
ties.
