RELIEF AT HAND
From the Ravsges of the Brown all
and Gypsy Moth CsterpiIlars.

Relief is at hand from the ravages
of the brown-tail and gypsy moth.
states Comr. of Agriculture John p.
Buckley. who has just returned from
a visit to Boston and vicinity. where
he and A o. Pike, field agent of the
department of agriculture in charge of
the gypsy moth work, have been
guests of d. NJ. Rogers, the United
States field agent in charge of gypsy
moth work.
They first went to Melrose, where in
the government laboratory there they
saw the gypsy and brown-tail cater
pillars. feeding upon different foliages.
At Newton they were shown a forest
growth of so acres. most of 1t pine,
which had been almost completely
killed by the gypsy caterpillars.
1t was at Newton that they saw the
parasite, which has been doing such
good work. The parasite is in the
pupae stage at the present time but
nevertheless feeds ferociously upon the
caterpillars. each one destroying five
or six daily II is said that as beetle
they do still greater work in destroy
ing the caterpillars.
The United States government is
breeding and distributing about 49,
600 600 of these and it is hoped that by
their aid the ravages of the gypsy and
brown-tail caterpillars may be greatly
diminished.
Commissioner Buckley has lately re-
ceived several specimens of mourn
ing cloaks' sent him by people who
supposed that they were gypsy moths.
Others from Aroostook county have
sent to the department of agriculture
specimens of tent caterpillar nests
with the small caterpillars, which at
some stages resemble the gypsy moths.
The elm beetle has been doing a
great deal of destructive work the
present season and specimens of wood
infested by the beetle now reach the
department on nearly every mail. Trees
about the State House also show
symptoms of the work of the elm
beetle.
The attention of Conn. Buckley was
called by Journal reporter to con-
dition noticed in some of the larger
elm trees in many places about the
city. which he does not seem to be
able to explain. Some sort of a yellow
substance exudes from the leaves In
sufficient quantities to discolor the
walks where it falls. Whether or not
this is caused by the larvae of some
insect pest no one seems to know.

May Get Two Nominations.

County Attorney Joseph Williamson,
besides being nominated on the Dem
ocratie ticket at the June primaries
for county attorney of Kennebec
county is also tied with Henry Wood
ward for the Socialist nomination for
the same office.
The Socialists in this county made
no nominations for county attorney
and only two Socialist voters in the
county took the trouble to write in
the name of the candidate for that
office. One man voted for Henry
Woodward and the other for Joseph
Williamson. If Mr.. Williamson cares
to have the Socialist nomination as
well as the Democratic nomination he
will have to see that the tie is drawn
off at the secretary of States office be-
tween himself and Mr. Woodward
