Efforts are being made to lessen the
danger from the San Jose scale in Brattle-
noro. George Bishop, tree warden, has
made the rounds of the north part of the

to have removed. These trees were badly
infected with the scale and arrangements
were made to have them cut down, carted
away and burned at the towns expense.
