The brown-tail moth scouts who have been here a day or two under orders from the state entomologist have already found that they will be able to report that parts of this sec tion are infested with the moth and although they have not yet begun work at Norwich Town they said on Friday evening that they had seen from the trolley cars as they rode by that there were a lot of the nests of the brown-tail in that section.
 John H. Osgood and E. R. Sherman are the two who make up the scouting party here and they say that they have, been put at work largely to de- termine just how much the moth has spread and where the infested terri tory is.
 In the work they have done so far since they have been here, they have found one brown-tail moth nest in Bozrah Center, two along the Salem turnpike just over the Bozrah line, one in Franklin, one in Montville, and one on Wauwecus hill.
 The scouts expect to be here about two weeks and to look over the towns of Norwich, Salem and Montville.
 When their arrival in town became known they were promptly invited to give the Boy Scouts at the Y. M. c. 4. a talk and MT. Sherman is to speak before the Saturday night meeting of the Boy Scouts.
 This winter scouting began about the 18th of January when they with two others were sent out by the state department, Irving H. Davis and a man by the name of Midday being the other two scouts. MT. Davis Is now down in Lyme, following up the work there. The indications are that the brown tail moth is drifting along the shore line towns.
 The scout work for the brown tail which is directed by Irving S. Day, state entomologist began in Suff1eld, which was found infected as was all so Granby but towns that were found free from the moth were East Granby, Windsor Locks Windsor and Bloom field.
 Hartford and East Hartford were both found infested, but from there, passing through Glastonbury, Man chester Bolton, Andover and Coventry, the next infested town found was Mansfield. From there the following towns went into the infested class:
