It is conservative to estimate that over $1,000
600 VIII be expended in the State Of Massachu-
sets in the next two years to fight the plague
Of moths. The State has appropriated directly
S33OOOO: cities and towns viii be obliged to ap-
pirate as much more at least The sum OF
about 100000 will be spent, mainly in the work
Of supervision and Of Kidding the public domain
such as parks, Of moths.
The only methods so far successful IN con-
trolling the plague are methods OF direct tree
to tree work. Certain habits Of the insect help
in this herculean task. The browntan cater
pillar matches in the late summer. and as soon
as the weather becomes cold weaves a nest at
the end Of a bough. into which he crawls and
hibernates all winter. These nests are cut of
and burned. Both moths are the prey OF vari-
Gus parasites.
DR.. o. W. Howard. OF the Department OF Agri-
culture was in Europe this last summer to de-
termine whether the European parasites could
be acclimatized in the United States. Several
thousand parasites of different kinds have been
imported and placed in a special observation
station at North Saugus Mass The greatest
dependence is being placed upon the tachina fly.
