BIRCH LEAVES FALL
Work of SkeIetonizer Moth, Says
Massachusetts Forester.
Scores of Letters From Different Parts
Of State Inquring as to Cause
Damage Done by the
Tineid Moth.

Boston.-During the last two weeks
the state forester, F. W. Rane, has re-
ceived scores of letters from different
parts of the state, inquiring into the
cause Of the damage to the birch trees.
the leaves Of which everywhere have
become yellow or brown and are drop-
ping Oft So general is the desire for
information that the state forester.
through the medium of the press de-
slres to give the public the following
facts:
The insect causing the damage is
known as the birch-leaf skeletonizer
(bucculatrix canadensisella) one of
the tineid moths. The outbreak of
the insect is by no means unprece-
denied, as similar condition obtained
over considerable portion of Massa-
chusetts in 1901, also in the eastern
portion Of New York state.
Little is known concerning the life
history and habits Of the insect. The
moth is small, wings expanding about
three-fourths of an inch. The larvae. or
caterp1llars, measure less than one

part or August or early in September,
feeding on the soft parenchyma of the
leaf and skeletonizing it thoroughly. At
this time small oval cocoons NAV he
observed here and there on the leaves.
These are spun by the caterpillar dur
ing mott. The true cocoons are
brownish yellow ribbed structures
about one-fifth inch in length.
These may be SO ABUNDANT as to
give color to portions of infested
leaves. They are spun during the lat
ter part of September and the insect
passes the winter within. No perma-
nent injury to the trees is likely to
follow the attack of this insect. as the
pest has shown that it's outbreaks have
been quickly suppressed by natural
enemies.
BY an act recently passed by the leg
1slature the state forester is authorized
to accept on behalf of the common
wealth requests or gifts to be used in
furthecing the forestry interests in the
state
This act enables owners of waste
land winch is or no present value and
on which the taxes are looked upon
as SO much money thrown away. an op-
portunity to free himself of the burden
and be assured at the same time that
the land will be converted into for
est growth which will add much to
the value of the surrounding property
and improve the scenic beauty of the
section.
1t is also hoped that public spirited
parties will contribute to the undertak-
ing and make possible the purchase of
some of the low priced land in the
commonwealth.
OF the 100000 acres of waste land in
the state, it seems a portion of this
large area might be brought into value
and act as an example to encourage
land owners to undertake forest plant
ing themselves.
