Ifyou have any least lingering doubt of
our having an army of brown-tail moths
TO fight next season, simply get out and
look around little, now that the leaves
are getting off so the nests show distinct
ly. Hundreds of them may be seen, not
only ON fruit trees, but on all kinds of
shade trees, and many of them forty or
fifty feet from the ground. One elm
tree in Moore Park, which is near an arc
light, has scores of the nests. Outside
the village they are not 50 thick, but
some may be found on most of the
orchards in the vicinity.
