There are too many gypsy moths
| in the field this summer. They have
laid a foundation for strong attack
next spring. They are out in sufficient
force to cause great devastation again
ON Cape Cod and in Norfolk County.

t,ramingham section their reeding
was bad this year and threatens to be
| worse next summer. In Norfolk

| oaks which should have been removed
fed the ravenous caterpiilars until
they had strong enough teeth to bite
| into the pine needles. These con-
clnsions are reached by F. w. Rane,
Massachusetts State Forester, after q
survey OF the situation.
