The Gypsy Moth.

MAIDEN. Macs, Sept. 6-Messrs.
II. A. Ballou and C. Fl. Rowe. agent
of the State Board of Agriculture,
made a startling discovery to-day
while al work in the woods of Wo-
burn. They found eggs of the
Gypsy moth in process of Matching
and the young caterpillars CT ling
from them. These eggs were laid
only few weeks ago, and their
Matching before the end of the sea-
son is the worst fears of the entomo.
logists who have predicted that the
Gypsy moth might some time have
two broods in one season If the
present warm weather continues
through September and there are no
early frosts, there seems to be moth
ing to prevent second crop OF
Gypsy moths. This means that
where the moths are thick the trees
again may be ravaged and may be an
additional supply Of eggs for the
Gypsy moths to destroy. But the
Gypsy moth force has been just re-
duced from $50 to so men, and they
will be Inadequate to cope with them.
This discovery is of the highest i'm
portance to Southern agriculturists.
The caterpillars of the moth being
notorious rayagers of the cotton
plant, the danger to the cotton
crop in case the moth spreads to the
South is evident.
