The tent caterpilars are destroying
everything before them and are doing
greater damage than the browntail
moths, for but a very few destroy
them. The few that have pride en-
ough to destroy the nests have made
success at it. but have to fight
against odds as they will come from
other orchards near by and they have
to renew the fight each year. We wish
there was a law obliging each person
to at least destroy them in their or
chards and If the town has to do 1t
that they be given the right by law
to cut all trees that are left to the
mercy of the caterpillars and it would
be but a short time before the pest
could be conquered
