moth in 1891, under an appropriation OF
500 600 from the State treasury, to be ex-
pended under the direction OF the State
Board OF Agriculture. In 1899 an appro-
priation of S75 600 was expended. Over
200 men were employed in April and May
in inspecting trees, killing the eggs by APP
plying acids, creosote, or fire; banding
street, orchard and forest trees with bur
laps and insect lime, by which methods
myriads of caterpllars were caught; spray
ing trees with iusectcde preparations, and
other forms Of warfare; aud considerable
force was thus employed through the sum
mer months. A report issued by the
Massachusetts, Board Of Agriculture, for
a copy Of which we are indebted to
Mr.. Il. II. Forbush, the director of the field
work of the gypsey moth department-sives
a very interesting account of the work thus
far accomplished. 1t shows that the moth
has been exterminated in 397 localities;
that more than ttOo million treas have been
inspected; and the caterpillars pupae, moths
and tgg clusters destroyed in the year 1877,
by hand alone as shown by careful records
kept, foot up /, 165, 100. The number oil
egg clusters in the infected region was re-
duced ninety nine per cent; and the con-
clusion which has been reach by Prof.
Fernald he entomologst of the board that
the complete determination of this moth is
possible, seems to be fully warranted. In
Wow of what las been accomplished 1t
would seem to be not unreasonable to expect
that another summers work like that Of
last wear, will rid the Bay state of the gyp-
sey moth.
Though this work is local in its sphere, its
benefits are truly national. At the rate at
which the destructive moth was multiplying,
it would soon have infested all the New
Eng and States, and i'll few years, IL not
checked, would become a greater post than
the potato bug, throughout the entire coun-
try. The damage now done in the United
States 10y insects such as the Hessan fly,
army worm and Rocky mountain locust, is
estimated by entomologists at from three
hundred to four hundred million dollars an
nually. The gypsey moth perhaps surpasse,
any OF these in destructiveness. 1t is to
! be hoped that the Stats of Massachusetts will
continue the effort, thus far SO successful, to
| exterminate this insect, and in his next re-
port Mr.. For bush will be able to announce
its hnal disappearance from the soil OF
| Massachusetts.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
some SugEestion. IN Relation TO the
Management of the Vermont Savings
Iu.titntiaos

Management of the Vermont Savings
Jnstitutions.
To the Editor of the Free Press:
Not long since the writer on account OF
the advertisem published tried to pro-
cure loan on good real estate security
from one Of the savings banks that had
funds for Investment. My experience on
this occasion, as well as others, justified tho
firm belief that so many persons have in
their minds, viz: that tue board of trustees
and officers act II they owned the funds
which others have placed in their care.
Money that should remain at homo in Yer
mont to develop and foster our State is
"wheeled" or to aid in Western enterprises
and no one knows anything about its proper
investment, except these few self imposing
autocrats, who 20 out West and look over
the field.
Savings banks being to a great extent the
depositories of hard earned wages they
should be so conducted that the persons
most interested can find out the character
of Investments and management. 1t is i'm
possible to tell anything about the nature OF
investments so far removed from the supply
OF money, and it is possible for trustees who
hold Office year in aud year out, to make
poor investments, without any appearance
Of loss in their annual statements.
1t seems to me that the Legislature Of the
State should enact law prohibiting a trus-
tee in smutual or cooperative savings bank
from holding the office for more than two
terms in succession. Such a law would be like
y to excite the opposition OF the present in
cumbents of such offices, but that would
of necessity be one valid reason for its
enactment A trustee knowing that
others would follow his term of office
and have opportunity to scrutinzs
his official acts would exercise great care
in the execution Of his trust. The treasur-
er should not DO called on to change, but it
should be understood that his responsibility
did not extend TO the proper Investment of
the funds.
The time to take precautions is before the
'boiler blows up" Such change would
be precaution, and would to great extent,
be a guarantee against the misuse of trust
| fund.-. DEPOs1TOR.

OF infants to the care of strangers under these
circumstances would hardly be an act of

then what a scene there would be if some

Rutland Physicians Doycottcd.

new form Of boycott has just been in
stituted at Rutland as result of the recent
action OF fifteen sixteen OF the physi-
clans of that city in advancing their sched-
ule Of rates for their services. 1t seems
that these followers of -Esculapius signed
an agreement to place their fees at 81, 80 to
81 for ordinery visits, 81 for office visits,
- for night calls, S. for consultation visits,
and other services in proportion.
This action on the part of the doctors ex-
cited the Indignation of a large portion of
the poorer classes in the new city, and at
meeting of the central trades and labor
council resolutions Of the most pronounced
nature were adopted. The preamble states
that the working people OF Rutland and
vicinity condemn the act on of the doctors,
who named, for usurping the hard
earned wages of ths poor, and it is there
fore resolved that eve will patronize those
charging the nominal price.
1t will be noticed that the effect of this
action on the part of the Trades and Labor
council Is a boycott Of the doctors who have
agreed to increase their fees although those
who passed the resolution do not say tina;
they will not patronize the physicians
named. This being the case the question
arises whether or not the members OF the
council have not etfectually avoided 6
violation of the law in this State which
has been made to apply to those
guilty Of conspiracy in establishing G
boycott 1t is evident that they
had perfect right to say that they would
patron2e those doctors who charged the
nominal price, but it is barely possible that
in naming the doctors in the same connec
ton who had agreed to increase fees they
rendered themselves Liable to action at Law
or prosecution. The physicians named il
the resolutions are boycotted beyond tn
possibility of doubt, and the only question
seems to be, whether or not any Que is guilt,
Of boycotting them.
