Lumber Forum Discusses
Marketing Burned Timber
"When the box car door
was opened all hell broke
loose, " said the speaker.
“Thousands of these horntailed wasps flew out all over the place. It wouldn't
have been so bad except it
seems that for a couple of
. weeks before a big advertising campaign was put on
byapest exterminating
company, "
He paused,
“It seems everyonein town
was a bit jumpy about termites because of this advertising. Imagine what they
thought at the railroad yards
when this car of lumber arrived from California full of
bugs! "
This incident occured in
Chicago last year, according to the speaker, Bob
Gates, manager of Yuba River Lumber Co,
Gates was a member of a
panel of three lumber men
who spoke before the quarterly meeting. of the Sacramento-T ahoe Forest Forum
at the Victorian Dining
Room in Nevada CityJan. 5,
The Forum was attended
by almost 70 people who had
been concerned with the
harvest and marketing of
lumber from areas devastated by recent forest fires,
The three panel members
spoke of their experiences
with such lumber and all agreed the biggest problem
was with insect infestation.
By Bob Wyckoff
"We lost almost 25 per
cent of our molding stock to
the bugs, " said George Duff,
manager of the Cal-Ida operation in Auburn, "We
finally put all the lumber
fromthe burnin the kiln
for 24 hours at 180. We
found this treatment killed
the bugs. "
Phil English of Placerville
Forest Products rounded out
the panel, His advice was
in the form ofa preventative
measure, "Log as soon after
the burn asis possible. Move
the logs, and move them
fast."
The English theory of speed
was born out by Forest Service Entomologist Boyd
Wickman, "Smoke is an attractant to insects. Two of
the recent large burns ( in
this area) occurred in August
when the bugs were in full
flight. It would seem they
were attracted to the area
by the smoke, The Camptonville burn took place in
November when the bugs
were partially dormant so
the infestation didn't take
place ‘tilthe following year
when the insects normally
were in flight."
Dipping the lumber from
the burned areas and fumigation were discussed as
methods of control. While
Bob Gates said his company
had fairly good results with
a certain chemical solution,
Wickman said there is at
PIONEER BARBER S HOP
present no evidence that fumigation is effective. All
who spoke agreed with Duff
that the only sure way to kill -the bugs was heating in a
kiln,
Leo Speckert of AO,
Speckert Lumber Co, in
Marysville said his firm
sprinkles the logs in the
deck, He states that no insect damage has been found
to this time.
What of future timber sales
involving fire damaged
trees?
Gates summed upthe sentiment of many, “If I had to
buy burned timber again, I
wouldn't, If you don't have
dry kilns, leave the stuff
alone!”
