side it is a blight
The subject of these accusations Ia the
notorious gypsy moth. the cause Of untold
trouble and Of an expense far exceeding

alone.
Tn to the present New York State has
not been reached by the oncoming hordes
Of this insect army, but they are headed
this way. Unless their advance Is checked
New York will have upon it's hands one
Of the greatest problems Of it's history.
A new and striking feature Of the whole
question Ia that the automobile has proved
10 be a powerful ally Of the gypsy moth.
A writer In the Independent says that the
work Of suppressing the moth Is made
very much harder by the automobile,
Travelling from forty TO one hundred
miles O day, these vehicles transport gypsy
moth oatsrpillars from section to section.
This Ia well known by the fact that the
places where the machines stop at the end
OF favorite drives are frequently infested
with the moths.
The distribution OF the gypsy moth by
vehicles occurs chiefly when the ~caterpillars
are young and small. They then have
the habit Of spinning down by their silken
threads from trees. When these overhang
| the roadside the caterpillars fall on vehicles
which carry them in all directions.
The gypsy moth, like all insects OF its
class, exists under four different forms
during the year. Its eggs are laid in July
| and August in a y%ellowish, hair covered
mass averaging about one and one-half
inches long and about th~ree-fourths of an
inch wide.
To the eye the egg mass resembles a
small, tightly stuffed, oval, buff colored
cushion. The Eggs hatch about May 1.
and zach mass or cluster yields a swarm
OF small caterpillars, the bulk Of which
become fully grown by midsummer.
The mature gypsy moth caterpillar not
| infrequcntly attainsa a length Of throe inches.
1t is very hairy and along its back is a
double row OF spots, there being first,
counting from the head, Ave pairs Of blue
spots, then six pairs Of dark red spots. No
| other New England caterpillar Ia like It.
1t is the caterpillar which eats the foliag &c.
1t swarms III city parks and country pas
lures and 1t devGstntes all vegetation
which comes in Its way. 1t is this which
makes 1t 10 dangerous, for once 1t gets Il
foothold it kills coniferous and deciduous
trees alike.
It's ravaees may be seen In the eastern
part Of Massachusett where wood lots have
been stripped 30 that only bare trunks are
forest fires.
Almost as striking as the great destruot-
iveness Of the moth is the expense Of Kidding

The poison should be thoroughly mixed In
water aud applied, II possible, on a clear,
dry day, in such u manner az to cover the
leaves, rather slowly, with a fine mist. This
work is most effective when done during
May and early June.
II u strip of burlap or other coarse, cheap
cloth is tied about an infested tree trunk by
the middle, in such manner that the haps
hang down, the oaterpilars, as soon az they
have acquired the night feeding habit, will
gather under the cloth and oan then be de-
stroyed. by crushing or by cutting with q
sheath knife.
The burlap should be examined daily, or,
when the caterpilnrs are in great numbers
in a locality, several times a day. Burlap
can be successfully enployeifrom the latter
half Of May to the first or middle OF Au-
gust, 1t gives the shelter which the cater
pillars seek by day.
Serving, as 1t does, as n hiding place for
various insects, it is better Of the tree than
on, unless 1t can be attended to and kept
clean. AT the end Of the caterpillar season
all burlaps should be burned.
To insure best results on high trees, such
"a street elms, burlaps should be placed

as around the trunk. The most effective
results in using the burlap are oht&t' ed
where cavities, crevioes, etc, in the trees
