of the Fall amendment Immediately
renewed their fight for changing the
draft ages, declaring that the de-
partment's information showing that
the class one registrants would be ex-
hausted in O few months, at most,
warranted extension at this time by
congress of the draft to men below
21 and above 81 years
Senator Chamberlain, although IA

nounced that he would abide by the
recommendations and
oppose the Fall amendment, while
Senators Hitchcock of Nebraska, Nc

that the legislation go over.
Senator Hitchcock indicated that

Insect Pests Not So Numerous

The winter of 1916-1917 was in
many ways the most trying we have
ever known. Fate seemed to be un-
kind in settling it upon US when we
were least able to bear it. Other
manifestations have seemed to take
advantage of our war time embarrass-
ment to make themselves as disagree
able and burdensome as possible 1t
is refreshing to note that some
scourges have been less merciessly
present. We can all recall the
brown-tail moth menace, which was
at its worst about four years ago. We
were told that unless millions OF dol
lars were devoted to fighting 1t, our
portion OF the earth would become
uninhabitable The worst OF it vas,
it did look about az serious as that.
Our trees were full of nests, millions
of moths swarmed over Us through
the month of June, and about every
leaf and twig carried brown-tal moth
egg clusters This town expended
$4,000 or $4,000 annually in fighting the
pest, and other towns and cities in
vested proportionally, like amounts.
This energetic campaign doubtless ae-
complished something, but it is pro
bable that a succession of cold win
ters and the development of natural
enemies, both natural causes, effect
ed more than mems unfriendly atti-
tude toward these destructive insects.
At all events, they have practically
disappeared.
We can recall, also, the forest worm
which defoliated so many woodland
and shade trees, six or eight years
old. AS one travels about the town,
we may note, even now, the circle of
tar compound repelant put about the
shade trees, in those years. to pre-
vent the, worms crawling up the
trunk. There was no known method
of fighting this pest. Something in
the manner OF their feeding dropped
refuse from the branches so as to
cause a patter like rain, which could
be plainly heard In driving along the
highway through the wooded area.
They were so numerous and voraci-
ous that large bodies of trees stood
with bare branches after they had
passed, as though the fall frOsts had
cleared away the leaves. Perhaps no
one knows why we had such a visit
alton, nor why 1t has disapperad. but
from some natural cause the menace
has been entirely abated.
To the casual observer, our bird
friends appear to be increasing as to
numbers This should be the case,
as old time statutes for their pro-
lection have been better enforced and
new and wiser ones enacted. 1t is
quite probable that this increase in
bird life has helped to control the in
sects which have been, in former
years, so disastrous.
