Work Against Gypsy and Brown tail
Moths shows Encouraging Results.

Over 12s000,000 specimens of two
parasites which prey on the gypsy
moth and fbrown-tail moth were re-
leased in pol towns in Maine, New
Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Rhode
Island during the fall Of 1914 and
spring ofa4915, according to the an
nuaI report of the Bureau of Ento-
.ynoIogy. United States Department of
Agriculture
AS a result of the successful estab-
lishment of colonies of these and 9TH
er parasites which feed on the gypsy
and brown-taiI moths, marked pro-
gress is being made in reducing these
pests. Effective cooperation is being
afforded by the states, which carry
on as much work as possible within
the infested areas, thus allowing the
Federal authorities to carry on field
work along the outer border of i'm
festation, so as to retard the gypsy
moths spread
Spread of the Gypsy Moth.
AS result of scouting work carried
on by the entomologists in 223 towns
in New England, the gypsy moth was
found in four towns in Maine, % in
New Hampshire, three in Vermont, 10
in Massachusetts and 10 in Connect
cut, making a total of SO towns where
the insect had not been previously re-
ported. This scouting consists in an
examination of all roadsides. residen-
tiaI sections, orchards and woodlands.
Where colonies are found the egg
clusters are treated with creosote and
the trees are banded with tree tangIe-
foot and sprayed with arsenate of
lead.

bert B. Cummins of Iowa announced
here today that he has prepared and will
introduce in the next congress a bill
aimed to create and train a force Of re-
serves who would be ready to defend the
United States in case OF unforeseen emer-
gency.
The bill. as outlined by Senator Cum
minis. would empower the government to
ytum eight of the interior forts and bar
racks tnat no longer have strategical
value, into military schools. To these
schools would be appointed boys in the
same manner as they are appointed TO
Annapolis and West Point. They would
receive training that would enable them
to take officerships in the reserve or
militia. The schools would turn grad
yates back into private life instead of
into the army, but these men would be
capable soldiers should necessity arise.
Senator Cummlns said he was in favor
of federal pay for the National Guard.
