stages are passed. Glass 8 consists
of trees and shrubs upon which u
small proportion of the gypsy moth
LAT we may develop. In class 4 are the
trees and shrubs upon which the
larvp will not feed. For practical pur-
poses no difficulty Is likely To he expe-
rienced as long as the species in class
are not present. Unfortunately,
however. this class contains the oaks
and birches, when predominant In
much of the infested area. Class |
and class . between them also contain
most of the species of high CONNER
cial value. In spite Of this difficulty.
however, by consulting the lists gwen
below both private and municipal
planting may be so done that injury
from h moth liz miniinized.
In orchards the tree most likely to
be affected by the moth is the apple.
Spraying with arsenato Of lead at the
rate of ten pounds TO 100 gallons OF
water will control moderate infesta-
tons of the gypsy moth as well rs
of the cooling moth. Additional pre-
cautions that are desirable are to III
or cut down all hollow trees and clean
up or burn all rubbish in which the
moths may deposit their eggs. In
severe ~infestations the c%reosoting OF
egg clusters and the banding of trees
with sticky fly catching preparations
may be necessary.
