road and interfering with the drain

sent out to supervisors copies of the
statute prohibiting such work and re-
ports are being received to the effect
that where the supervisors have
taken up this matter with parties
who have been infringing the law,
they have been willing to clear out
the distractions and in nearly ev-
cry case have promised to see that
cutters are not interfered with past
their property.
The statue covering is Section 81
of Chapter "a and reads as follows:

ing a legal supervision of a public

with the improvement of lands ad

such manner as to change the drain
age thereof or obstruct said way; nor
shall any person, by himself, his
agents or servants, other than a
person having legal supervision of a

any ditch or drain in a public way
any material that shall obstruct the
flow of water in such ditch or drain

Agricultural Department

d. S. Clement, an inspector for the
Maine Agricultural Department, has
gone to South Paris and West Paris
to investigate an infestation of the
saddled prominent UHeterocampa
Guttavitta), which last year did con-
siderable damage to the hardwood
forests of that section. State Horti-
cuiturist Frank H. Dudley said on
Friday:
I'VE are in hopes to control this
pest by the use of a poison bait,
around the trees or strewn in a long
line in advance of the caterpillars, SO
that when they arrive at it, they will
eat and perish. 1t is a new expert
ment but we hope that it will meet
with success. We know that it is an
effective treatment for the cut worm
and l cannot see why it will not do
the same with these caterpillars. 1t
| is thought to be the only practical
way to fight them, as it would be i'm
possible to spray in the forests.
| THE saddler prominent is a des-
tructive pest; eating as it does day
and night on the foliage and soon
causing the tree to wither and die.
! 1t runs a course of about three years.
Last year was bad: this one we fear
will be worse; and next year the
worst of all; SO we hope to find a
| means of controlling it. We already
have some parasites that are helping
| in controlling it. the podisus medes-
tus and the calisoma beetles. The
| pest is at its worst in July, so we are
going after them early.
THE poison bait we shall use is
| made of 81 pounds of arsenate of
lead, so pounds of bran. six lemons
cut fine. one gallon of molasses and
five gallons of water
Inspector Roy S. Bacon has gone
