The Brown Tail Moth.

The department of agriculture is il
receipt of additional information regard
ing the brown tail moth, which seems to
indicate that the pest is becoming h
great deal more common in Maine than
Is desirable. One letter from Eliot says
that some OF the fruit trees Of that town
are covered with the insect. Another
letter from lady in Brookline, Mass,
to the University of Maine, which was
forwarded to the department, would
seem to show that the moths are invad-
ing Maine, and are travelling by the way
of The steamboat lines out of Boston. 4
portion Of the letter is quoted, as fol.
lows:
81 WAS told by gentleman yesterday,
aug. 28), who went to Belfast on the
Bangor boat, that there were many
brown tail moths flying about the boat.
questioned him closely as TO their APP
pearance, and lie described the white
body and wings, and the tai tipped with
brown.
"As IL furious insects are often carried
In this way, 1t Is quite possible that the
nests of the brown tail moth will be
seen, next winter, In ports where the
Bangor boat touches, Rockland, Cam
den, Belfast and Bangor.
II am much interested in this work,
and am member OF the tree planting
committee OF this town. We employ 8
force of men every winter to clear the
nests Of the brown tail moth from all the
trees, public and private. II the people
or some person In authority In these
places could be notified of their possible
danger, and be on the lockout for this
dreadful pest, 1t might save them a good
deal Of trouble and annoyance" -Turf,
