Commissioner of Agriculture j. A.
Roberts has been receiving numerous
inquiries from people who wish to
know exactly what territory the mu-
nicipal officers are obliged to cover in
gathering the brown-tail moth nests.
Mr.. Roberts said in this connection
Saturday morning: THE law provides
that the picking of nests in all public
parks and highways, commence 60 feet
each way from the center of the high
way. This will in many cases include
apple trees and shade trees on private
lands. Many farmers who have fine
apple trees within this limit would
prefer to pick the nests themselves,
and the municipal officers should con-
suit with such parties and allow them
to dc it,

To Prevent Forest Fires.

The roads will incorporate in the
spring time tables a warning against
starting fires, as result of cores
pondence between the forest commits
soner and the officials of the several
railroads Of the State. a great many
fires are started by persons carelessly
throwing lighted matches, cigars and
cigarettes from the cars and this no.
tice is intended, particularly, to warn
persons against this.
The law now provides that the win
dows of smoking cars and compart-
ments in which smoking is allowed
shall be screened or fastened down
during the dry season of the year
The Maine Automobile Association
has also consented to publish a fire
warning notice in the publications of
