ALMA HORSES At MATINEE
First Money Won by Local
Entries in Equine Event
at Ithaca Saturday.

Matinee racing was revived at Ith
aca, Saturday afternoon, with Alma
horses carrying off the large share of
the prize money. Though the matt
nee opened with scant corporal's
guard present, between five and six
hundred were present by the time the
racing was we'll under way. The gates
receipts went as prize money and
were the only inducements offered.
DR.. McNabb drove his Angline S
to a victory in the Glass A Trot, win
ming the half mile race by the second
and the two final heats. 1t required
five to decide the race. Panama Girl,
driven by Patterson, furnished the
competition.
Vibber brought home his billiard S
victor in three Of the four heats
run in the free for all race. Colburn
of Breckenridge won the Glass B trot
or pace in straight heats with Mable
George.
1t is expected that matinee races
will be held one week from next Sat
urday though nothing definite has yet
been decided or announced. Interest
in racing is very keen in Gratiot
county and with the better element
supporting it some mighty fine sport
are being enjoyed. With the rowdy
element in the upper hand at racing
events the sport is doomed to an ever
lasting death.

Oct 18.-Odd Fellows Annual State
Convention at Colorado SPRING.
The Manchester journal. [volume] (Manchester, Vt.) 1861-current, 1915-01-28

In New York colony at Geneva
apparently has been exterminated, and
a colony found on private estate at
Mount kisco is now being stamped
out with the cooperation of the New
York authorities. The report calls at
tention, however, to the need for laws
in other states similar in character to
that of Massachusetts, which provides
that each municipality must do its
share toward controlling the moths.
The brown-tail moth situation is
said to be even better. The severe
winter has aided the brown tail moth
fungus disease and the imported par
asites in bringing about an enormous
decrease in the numbers of this pest.
In the northern part of the infested
region in Maine, New Hampshire, and
Vermont, the decrease is especially
noticeable. On the other hand some
brown-tail moth nests have been found
on the eastern end of Long Island.
The inspection Of all forest prod
ucts and nursery stock moved from in
Tested regions to other parts of the
United States is declared to have pre-
vented the establishment of many col
onies in widely separated Localities. In
1906 shipments which have been in
spected, 4,253 specimens of the gypsy
moth and 1,404 specimens of the
brown tail moth have been destroyed.
1t is claimed that if this work had
been begun years before, the small
colonies in New York, Ohio, and the
Berkshire region in Massachusetts
would not have become established.
In addition to the quarantine work,
scientific experiments and investiga-
tons have been carried on with the
object of securing more exact inform
alton about the food habits of these
moths in order to discover new ways
of DISCRIMINATING them.

Gypsy AND BROWN-TAIL
MOTHS DECREASING
Satisfactory Progress in the Fight
Against These Pests Reported by
The Bureau of Entomology.

Inc bureau OF ENTOMOLOGY.
Washington, d. c., Jan. 21-A
marked decrease in the numbers of
both the gypsy and brown-tail moths
is declared by the Bureau of Ento-
mology Of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture to have taken place in the
period covered by the report which has
recently been published of its work for
the year ending June 30, 1914. This
has been largely brought about by the
wilt disease and the parasites and
other natural eneimes Of these pests,
which have been introduced to fight
them.
In New England extensive scouting
work around the borders of the infest-
ed region has resulted in the discovery
of the existence of the gypsy moth in
81 new towns in Maine, 8 in New
Hampshire, 7 in Massachusetts, II in
Rhode Island, and II in Connecticut.
On the other hand eight towns inside
the infested area were found to be
quite free. Several isolated colonies
in Greenfield, Mass, appear to have
been exterminated, and in the region
around Lenox, Stockbridge, and Great
harrington the moths have also been
almost eliminated. This is also true
of the isolated colony at Wallingford,
Conn. At Stonington few egg clus-
tiers were found, and the Connecticut
authorities are in charge Of work
there.
