Tho Tussock Moth.

the following, clipped from
| Wednesdays Detroit News, may be
of local value, as the tussock moth
has appeared in this vicinity:
Ravages of foliage destroying in
sects are reported from nearly every
part of the city. They have attacked
trees both on private property and in
the public parks. In some places
valuable trees have been nearly
ruined by their destructive activity.
Most of the trouble reported b.
the park commissioner has been
caused by the tussock moth-a
trouble that has required every year
| and of which no abatement can be
expected until there is concerted ac-
tion on the part of the property
owners and park board to stamp out
the pest while it is in the process of
development.
The season when most injury Is
done to the trees is over, but the
generation of moths which will work
! next year is now in the process of
growth, and this is one of the best
times of the year to use preventive
| measures.
The moth, in the shape OF cater
| pillar, crawls up the body OF the
tree, spins cocoon about itself and
| settles down for it's winter rest.
/ Most of these cocoons-white fuzzy
particles on the branches and leaves
have already been formed
In
lay from 800 to 400 eggs, and then
next summer, when the air becomes
warm and damp, they will hatch
out and again begin their devastar-
ing work on the trees.
There are two methods by which
the pest may be met, now so that IL
will not be ready for its work next
year. One is to take a torch on a
long pole and go over the trees
carefully burning each cocoon, and
so killing it's occupant and prevent
Ing its breeding; and the other is tt
crush the cocoon with a stick. which
/ has the same effect.
"We have a great deal of trouble
with the tussock moth every year."
said Park Commissioner Hurlbut,
land we will have until we get a
sufficient appropriation to thorough
ly eXterminate all the moths on our
trees every year, and arouse suffic-
lent interest in the matter among
private owners of trees to get them
to take similar steps"
H. j. Hunter of the park commits
sion, said: 81 took up this work
about four years ago and the depart
ment before my time had trouble
with this type of parasite 1t is the
most voracious of it's kind. The
male has wings and travels all
over. The female Is wingless. She
will, however, climb to the top Of
the highest tree or building and
deposite her eggs These eggs will
be dormant from one spring to the
next-the time to begin the fight is
about the middle Of May.
THE female IL she has not enough
webb to cover her deposit will liter
ally take the fur from the males
back to get the material to protect
her larvae. AS | said the time tc
begin the fight is about the middic
of May, but | did not get an appro>
priation until the first day Of July
/ asked for $4,000 and the estimat-
ors gave me $1,000, just half of
what 1 expected, to start my fight
with and that six weeks late; how
ever, We are succeeding by extra ef-
forts to kill off the live ones and GEE
next years eggs. We have already !
used 5000 pounds of arsenate of |
lead fighting the moth this year"

gle which followed was fierce, but the
smuggler had armed himself with stick
from the wagon and had the advantage
from the first. Burns received terrible
beating and was left lying in the road APP
parently dead while the smuggler drove
away.
The deputy finally recovered sufficient
" to crawl to a nearby farm house and
make a partial explanation of his condi-

came unconscious without giving any de-
scription of his assailant and did not re-
cover consciousness for many hours. One
arm and several ribs were broken and

Not for some time afterwards did the
authorities have any clew as to who as

Harvard athlete and university over
seer. banker and president of the Bos-

chosen by the Committee of $50 as the
Citizens candidate for mayor of Bos-
ton under Plan of the newly adopted
city charter, and will be given promi-
nent place among a wealth of candi-
dates for that position in the cam
paign which may fairly be said to have
now opened.
The new plan for the nomination of
candidates for mayor eliminated party
lines and provided that any citizen
might become a candidate by securing
the signatures of 5000 citizens to nomi-
nation papers. A dozen candidates ap-
pcared with papers, whereupon repre-
sentative citizens and party workers
met and created a Committee of $50 to
secure united action upon the man be-
lieved by the committee to be the best
candidate.
The committee delegated the selec-
ton of candidates to a second commit
tee of nine members, which had Charles
S. Hamin as chairman, Richard Olney
being chairman of the whole COM
mittee.
That the work of the Committee of
$50 might be perpetuated permanent
organization was effected under the
name of the Citizens Municipal
League, to include the original men,
bers and such additions as may be
| recommended from time to time. Rich
ard Olney was elected chairman, Mich
