Gypsy MOTH CAMPAIGN
Good Results Obtained Since Reorrnu-
izatiOn of Work In March, '13

satisfactory progress in the campaign
against the gipsy moth and the brown
tail moth in New England since the re-
organization of the work I'm March, 1913
is announced in a report ON this work
just issued by the bureau OF entomology
of the L. S. department of Agriculture.
Because, however. of the enormous area
already infested it has been impossible
to cover much of the woodland and the
insect has gradually spread. On the
other hand, scouting work and hand
treatment of the egg clusters have ma
terially checked this spread toward the
west. and other methods of control have
greatly reduced the infestation in certain
areas.
At the present time tho campaign
is conducted along two distinct lines:
First, there is the field work
which consists Of scouting and
hand treatment of the insects, and in
spection of products shipped from the in
Tested area in order To prevent the
spread of the pest; second, experimental
work is being carried on in order to de-
termine the advantages to be derived
from the introduction of parasites and
other natural enemies of the moths and
also in order to ascertain the best meth
DDS of treating woods and forests in or
der to deprive the pests of their food.
An average of about 275 men is employed
in these two branches of the work
Excellent results ARE reported from the
imported parasites of the gypsy moth
during the past year. over 1000 colonies
have been located in a large number of
towns.
Another factor in keeping down the
gypsy and brown-tail is the wilt disease
but the study of this is for certain tech
meal reason very difficult, and a large
amount Of work is still necessary in or
der to discover the conditions most ia
4 matter on which the report lays
special emphasis is the fact that a
number OF trees are not favorable for
the support of the gypsy moth larvae.
Wherever possible, therefore, these
should be substituted for trees that are
especially susceptible. This can frequent
y be done with distinct commercial i'm
pOrtance. For example in many of the
infested areas there are large numbers
of oaks and gray birch. These are very
susceptible to the attack of tho glpsy
moth. The white pine on the other hand
| is immune except when growing with oak
or gray birch, and IL substituted for the
other trees will grow to much better adj
vantage and yield a much more valuable
product. A list of trees which are sus-
ceptible and Of those which are not is
contained in the report.

VERMONT ROADS APPRECIATED,
(From the Barre Times)

The people of Vermont will be grateful
for this little truthful boast from a con-
temporary in neighboring State, the
Concord Monitor, in the capital of New
Hampshire:
vermont leads the other New Eng
land States in per capita ownership Of
automobiles, one to every AZ Inhabitants
And it might be said that the Green
Mountain State also has a greater pro-
portion of good roads than any of her
sister States in this section of the coun-
try"
The generous tribute Of the contempo-
rary on Vermont's roads leads us to state
that New Hampshire herself has some of
the finest strips of State road on its main
highways in the eastern section of the
country. roads which are very well con-
structed and go smooth as to make travel
over them a real pleasure. In fact some
of those roads are so good that they are
the envy of Vermont people who have
occasion to use them occasionally. New
Hampshire, as well as Vermont. has
been making progress In the line OF per-
manent road building and 1t Is In con-
sequence, receiving a great deal of tour
list travel by automobile which brings In

disastrous forest fire occurred Mon
day in Plymouth which destroyed the
