Summary

edit
Description

This is a Douglas-fir tree which is infested with the Douglas-fir bark beetle. Due to its height, the tree had to be cut before experimental spraying for control of the beetle could be done. Note pump-man and nozzle-man working as a team in this spraying operation. The pump-man is watching the nozzle spray to give correct amount of pressure. Coeur d'Alene National Forest, Idaho.
