CATERPILLARS MAY
FLOURISH AGAIN
Il. L. Bailey Discovers Many speci
mems of Saddled Prominent Variety
in Guilford- Recommendations.

From investigations made by the Yer
mont department of agriculture it APP
pears likely that the green caterpillar
which so ravaged the hard woods in
6uilford last summer may again be
plentiful this year.
H. l.. Bailey, assistant to the COM
missioner of agriculture in charge of
insect suppression, who has been in this
section several days, visited the loca-
ion of one of the worst of last years
infestations yesterday and reports
finding a considerable number of the
insects, now in the pupa or chrysalid
stage
From a patch of leaf mould about a
yard square in one sugar place he found
over 20 specimens. Within a few weeks
lit win be time for these pupae to depos-
it their eggs, several hundred in number
and these eggs shortly hatch into cater
| pillars. When very small the latter are
curiouslv ornamental with antler-like
projections from the head. Later these
disappear and the caterpillars are
chiefly distinguishable by the purple
mark or saddle upon the back, which
has led to the common name, saddled
prominent.
This insect, although native, is gen
orally inconspicuous in numbers. Once
in a great while. however. conditions

i checks are again able to get the bet

The best recorded outbreak of thi.
kind in New England occurred in Main,
and adjacent sections of New Hamp
shire in J907-S9. Large tracts of ma
Die, beech and other hardwoods wer,
here defoliated and apple orchards al
20 suffered severely.
As a matter of precaution, there2ore
apple trees in the vicinity of these in
festaticns should be sprayed in Jul,
with arsenate of lead, and judging b,
hat experiment, also, we may expee
the ravages this year to cover a NOR
extended area.
No feasible methods of control of th
pest IN forest lands or large sugar OF

ley suggests that in small groves, an
, among shade trees some proteetio
could be realized by raking up tn

hens or hogs to range among the treei

MINORITIES SURE
OF REPRESENTATION
French Electoral Reform Meas
ure Will Cause Many Changes

Paris, May 4, Correspondence of
The Associated Press. )-Represen
ton of minOrities is assured under
the new Electoral Reform law passed
by the French parliament which will
probably bring about considerable
change in the strength of parties in
the chamber of deputies. The most
recent enactment almost abolished
entirely the old system of choosing
members, which provided for a Sec
ond ballot in case candidates did not
poll an absolute majority of the votes
in their constituency.
An example of what occurred under
the old system during the, election
| of 1885 in the department of the Var
where the present Premier Clemen-
ceau was one of the candidates, will
serve to show how the returns will
| be affected by the present scheme.
! The Var department returns four
| m embers to the cham Der of deputies.
| The conservatives, the opportunsts,
the radicals and the socialists, each
put up four candidates. At the first
| ballot no candidate polled an abso-
| lutte majority of the So, 1913 votes cast,
| to do which a poll of 26,8 $50 votes
| would have been necessary The con-
| sentative candidates obtained an
| average of 1888 votes each; the OPP
| portunists, 1884; the radicals, a.
| 323 and the socialists, 207. At the
! second ballot the radical list was

which polled the smallest totals hav-

Under the new scheme the cleo.

AS no candidate received an abso
