Forest Cafernillars.

A few years ago, when the forest cater
pillars were working destruction in the
maple orchards of northern New England.
and many were saying that they must cut
down the trees. we said, that as that was
the third year in which they had been so
abundant, it would probably be their last
season for several years. We did not pre-
tend TO say whether they had SO robbed
the trees of their foliage as TO lack for
food, or whether birds and parasitic in
sects had been so busy with them when
they were so abundant as to reduce their
numbers. but we had for several years
been convinced that after three years it
would be several more years before they
were so plenty as to be serious menace
to the forest We have noticed similar
thing in regard to the canker worm on
our apple orchards. though we think their
terms are little longer, it may be four or
five years. Yet not many years ago they
nearly all disappeared from northern Mid
dlesex county, and very few were seen for
ten or more years. Last year there were
enough of them where spraying was not
done and we expect to see more this year.
unless the gyspy moth and brown-tail
moth eat up all the foliage, so that the
canker worm will find nothing to feed upon
But we wish these last-named pests would
realize that they are no longer welcome,
and would withdraw into obscurity for a
term of years
