10000 nests where, last year, he only
found 5000 and the ratio is the same

told the Journal reporter, Wednesday
afternoon, that there are not enough
men in the state to rid the trees of
Maine of the brown-tail moth, and
that the only thing that can be done
now is to protect the trees on the
highways and on private property.
The State agricultural department
has increased the time limit allowed
for the private citizen to take care of
the nests on his land to Feb. II, as
compared to March l, last year, and
April i, the year before. If the peo-
pie do not have the work done them
selves before that time, after proper
notification, the city is empowered to
have the work done and charge the
bill to that person on his tax bill.
