THE CATERPILLARS
Are Doing Enormous Damage
to Trees in Vermont.
Fruit, Shade and Forest Trees Are
Alike Being Devastated.
Every Cocoon Now Destroyed Means 2OOLess
Caterpillars Next Year.

r. Johnsbury, VT, June IS.-The
| condition Of forest, shade and fruit
trees in this locality has come to ba
one of the most serious problems that
| have confronted the people for MANY
years.
The forest tent caterpillar apneared
in Caledonia county just as the trees
We're lcafing out AT first their raw
ages We're chiefly confined to naples
and fruit trees. but now nearly every
variety Of the deciduous trees have
suffered from them. When one enters
wood lot he hears a constant sound
like the falling of rain The trunks of
the trees are alive with caterpilIars
and great numbers of them are swing
ing upon threads on their way to the
ground. Many Of the forest crowned
hilltops Of Caledonia county. especial
ly those covered with naples. are as
leaness ana brown as late in the
autumn.
Every possible method has been tried
~ protect the shrubs and trees in st.
Johnsbury. Lawns and shaded walks
have lost their usual charms on ac-
count Of these pests.
1t is estimated that the ravages Of
the caterpillars will cost the state
hundreds Of thousands Of dollars il
they remain another season, for large
numbers Of trees are sure to be killed.
The more delicate shade and fruit
trees, scientists say, viii hardly sur
vivc beyond the present season.
whether a repetition Of this years
scOurge occurs or not. A number Of
poor farmers intimate that if the pre-
dicted results follow they shall aban-
don their farms.
The state entomologist. G. II. Per
kins Of Burlington, caused to be post
"a in every town and village in the
state a warning to the effect that dur
ing the next two weeks. the forest tent
catcrpillars will build their cocoOns up
on the foundations and clapboards Of
bouses. on fences. walls and bushes
and every one killed now will mean 200
less next year. as they will soon
change to moths and lay eggs. Two
hundreds times the present number
would certainly indicate the likelihood
Of an appalling condition Of things
next year.
\ parasite, however, is said to be
working havoc among them and may
eventually eXterminate the pests.
