The following interesting and valu-
able article on the gypsy moth
work in the State Of Maine, written by
Major E. E. Philbrook Of Portland. the
field agent In charge of the extermina-
ton Of that pest in this State. has just
been issued from the office Of John A.
Roberts, commissioner Of agriculture,
at Augusta:
The gypsy moth was first discovered
in Maine in August Of the year 1906. on
of Kittery. In the fall Of that year q
crew Of expert scouts were sent to
Maine by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. who found that
the towns Of Kittery, Eliot. York, South
Berwick, Berwick. Wells, Kennebunk
and Biddeford were infested with the
gypsy moth.
At the suggestion Of the government
agents, the legislature Of 1907 made an
appropriation Of $4,000 for each Of the
years 1907 and 1908 and the work was
placed in charge of the commissioner
of agriculture and he appointed a spec
ial Aeld agent who Immediately started
the work in the field.

test was determination. All efforts
were directed to that end and, because
Of that fact. parasites were not en-
ployed.
With few differences, the work, as
carried on then. was the same as that
being done now The egg clusters or
the insects were to be found in the
fall winter and early spring and men
were kept at work painting them with
creosote. Fences, buildings. stone
walls, etc, were carefully inspected and
every egg cluster found was painted
with the creosote, which penetrated the
mass and destroyed the life within the
tiny egg. The stones in walls about
farms and woodlands were turned over
in this hunt for egg clusters and thou
sands were found and destroyed.
1t was while the crew in kittery
was engaged in scouting an old stone
wall. near farmhouse, that a woman
came UP to one of the men and said:

Field Agent Philbrook Tells
OF Maine. Gypsy Moth Work

Matched, the underbeush WAS burned
over with cyclone burners ana the
trees were sprayed with arsenate OF
lead. When the caterpillArs crawled
down the trees to rest. during the day.
after their nights feeding period. they
were crushed by the Thousands a. they
clustered about the base Of the tree.
The trunks were banded with burlap,
as that was found to provide a shelter
which the insects sought ana they
could then be crushed beneath the
burlap.
Another method employed was the
banding Of the tree trunk with tansle-
foot which formed a sticky barrier the
insects could not pass over. BY this
means trees once having been cleaned
were kept free from the caterptllars.
All Of these methods and hard work
tcld at length and, as time went on,
the insects became more and more
scarce Two or three more years OF
such work would undoubtedly nave
held the situation in check.
The Legislature of 1911 cut the ap-
preparation to such a small amount
that it was impossible to do the work
necessary to hold the insects in check
and, in consequence, the infested terri
tory was greatly increased during the
years 1911 and 1912.
, Had the State continued its appro-
priations, as recommended by those in
charge Of the work, it might have been
possible to eXterminate the pests in
this State. Now, all hope of eXtermi-
nation has passed and the best that
can be done will be to suppress them,
and. with the foreign parasites and the
work in the field, as outlined, to hold
them in submission, just as they are
in their native homes in Europe.
The appropriation by the Legislature
of 1917 coming so late in the season,
made 1t impossible to do more than get
a start in the work this spring and
very little scouting for egg clusters
was done. The spraying work is now
under way. and, if the weather remains
favorable, at least seven tons Of arse
nate of lead will be used in the worst
infested places: trees have been bur-
Tapped and tanglefoot has been placed
to good advantage. Many towns au-
thorities and property owners are doing
a great deal to help the work along by
spraying the trees in their localities.
The State laboratory at Portland
has this year been discontinued and all
parasites are being reared at the gov
eminent laboratory at Melrose High

onies of the Anastatus Bifasciatus
