State Not to Finht Moth Pest.
It is ~tated that because the las
! appropriation by the state for fighting
| the pest was insufficient to do all o
| the work that should he done, there
IS to be no campaign in towns in thi:
I section this winter against the brown
( tail moths unless the work is under
taken by the towns. The pest ha.
gained a fOothold here but the eff
fective work done during the last tw,
winters was holding in check tn,
spread of the. moths and probably Grad
icating them 1t now seems doubtful
that many towns hereabouts will star
campaign against the moths at tn
+ expense of the towns.
