The BROWN TAILS AGAIN. Mr.. A. J. Knoul.
ton notified the city officials at their January
meeting of the prevalence of the brown tail
moth cocoons in the trees about the citv
streets. Many others realize how numerous
they are and what will be the condition anoth-
er season if the cocoons are not DESTROYED
before they develop in the early spring. Peo-
pie who frequent the outlying towns say the
trees and orchards in view of the roads are
filled with this menace. They not only iniure
the fruit and shade trees but in the summer
season poison people. Belfast had many such
cases the past season and some Of them were
severe. If people realized what it meant to
have all these nests about the city come to
maturity they would make an effort them
selves to destroy them.
