A.G. Angell, C.C. Goodpasture, George Hofer, Hugo Kneiff, Ike Miller, J.D. Riggs, Phil Sergent, J.J. Sullivan, Lew Thomas, and Al Wagner were recommended and appointed. ... During July and August, Edmonston and his crew made a survey of the control area to determine the amount of new infestation that was developing. F.C. Craighead [who later became the Chief of the Division of Forest Insect Investigations], was a student assistant for the summer and spent some of his time with this survey. This was his first experience in the forests of the Pacific Coast." For more information about this bark beetle control project see: Burke, H. E., and B. E. Wickman. 1990.
