The pest Of maple tree caterpiIlars far
exceeds anything ever seen In Bethel

Where the roads pass through woods it is
necessary to carry an umbrella as there Is
continual stream OF caterpiliars ascend
ing and descending on webs They crawl
into houses and when you put on your
clothes in the morning you are as apt as
not TO crush one in the bottom of your
stocking. II
