TRUSTEES ARE
INVESTIGATING
Expect To Be Ready To Fight Elm
Beetle Next Spring

DR., P +, Mellen Of the Mddlebury
village board of trustees has taken up
by letter with the State Department Of
Agriculture the problem OF the elm leaf
beetle which is lourishing and doing
more damage in Middlebury than else
where in Vermont Harold l., Bailey Of
Bradford assistant in charge OF insect
suppression writes that while il Is too
late to do any spraying OF the elms this
year II Is just the time TO negotiate for
the purchase of a sprayer for next sea-
SON Several publicly-owned sprayers
costing around $500 have been used to
good advantage in the state, he says,
and he suggests the names Of certain
manufacturer from which they can be
bought Accordingly the trustees plan
to investigate and purchase a sprayer
with which 10 wage battle against the
beetle next spring The prescription is
for a spraying with arsenate OF lead just
as soon as the first foliage appears and
again about two weeks later,
Mr., Bailey writes "a sprayer owned
by town or village can be OF much
value besides that OF protecting the
public trees, by being placed at the dis.
posal of residents for private spraying
at a sufficient price to cover cost.
Possibly a chemical engine could be
used for spraying purposes, but have
never known OF an instance where il
was tried, should expect it would in.
volve a considerable waste OF spray ma.
terial.
CAS- soon as have an opportunity to
come to Middlebury will endeavor to
do so and to look over the situation as
regards the infestation."
