Excerpt from Insects Injurious to Young Trees on Tree Claims

In the third place, the comparative aridity of the region where these claims are located renders tree growth somewhat slower then where the precipitation of moisture is more bountiful. This slowness of growth, while it is an advantage in one respect, aids the insect foes to a considerable extent in their work of destruction. A rank and rapid growth places a tree out of danger from external enemies much more quickly than will a slow growth. At the same time, in a rank growth, a much greater amount of food is furnished for the same number of insects, and as a consequence, less injury results than if the growth were slower.
