James A. Beal removing bark from a ponderosa pine infested with western pine beetle, Sisters, OR. June 1933. Beal and other entomologists of the 1930s era routinely climbed trees even in subzero weather to monitor mortality of broods of this beetle. Beal subsequently headed the Fort Collins FIL, then taught at Duke before becoming the third and last Chief of Forest Insect Investigations, BE&PQ, in Washington D.C. The Bureau was disbanded in 1953 and FII personnel, including M. Furniss and Boyd Wickman were transferred to the Forest Service. (Wickman et al. 2002, Fig. 3) WFIWC archives photo 8798 by J.M.
