Agent Cady Reports on the
Gypsy Moth Work for 1916

Edward j. Cady of Portland, special
field agent in charge of the gypsy moth
work, in beginning his annual report
which was filed with the Governor and
Council, states that no man can
achieve results, gratifying to all Sec
tons of the State, unless he is supplied
with sufficient money to carry on the
work, and less than $4,000 is not suf-
ficient. Mr.. Cady says in his report:
THE work this year consisted chief
ly of parasitism and checking the
spread of the moth. Both results were
satisfactorily accomplished. During
the spring and early summer the field
force was sadly handicapped by con-
tinuous wet weather. We deluded our
selves with the thought that the con-
tinuous rains would have a tendency
to give us an equitable reparation for
the loss of time entailed by the field
force. by causing a prevalence Of wild
disease in the gypsy moth. But 1t
proved otherwise. 1t resulted only in
impeding the work in the badly in
tested area. Tho wild did appear in
some localities. especially in York
county, but not in sufficient quantity
to be resultant factor in decreasing
the number of larvae that the field
force would have done had the weather
permitted them to work. The persis-
tent effort which the crews displayed
in vying with each other in their re-
spective territories was a large factor
in overcoming the stinted appropria-
ton we had to work with.
Our work on parasitism has been
