protected from serious damage wher
the pest mas made It's appearance.
Il Is hoped that the insect parasite
which have been imported and are be
ing distributed will serve, togethe
with the efforts Of individual tree own
ers 10 control the gypsy moth. Since
however the latter started in th'
country many years ahead Of It's natur
al enemies something must be done I,
check its increase in order 10 allow tn,
parasites 20 catch up.
The gypsy moth caterpillar feeds or
nearly all kinds Of trees and is es,
peeially attracted 10 apple and oak
The winter Of l9l7-ls killed probably
so per cent Of the apple trees east Of
the mountains. Unprepared as the
great majority Of owners are in the
matter Of spraying, the moths could
very quickly destroy the remainder II
left unchecked. II would assist great
ly in the eventual control Of this as
well as numerous other pests II tree
owners would more generally prune
and spray their trees.
The control work at present con-
sists Of inspecting, by crews Of state
or federal men. the trunks and lower
branches Of the trees where the egg
masses Of the gypsy moth are TO be
found throughout the fall, winter and
spring. All trees except those Of for
est areas are inspected Careful in
vestigation has proven that the moth
seldom inhabits the forests until it
has become throughly established in
orchards and scattering
trees. This presumably is due to the
fact that such birds as may spread the
eggs in winter seldom frequent the
deep woods, nor would any Of the
moths which may be brought in on
trains or teams find their
way at first into the wooded growth.
The masses are yellowish brown in
color and consist Of from four hundred
10 six hundred tiny eggs plastered on
to the bark with sort Of yellowish
fuzz which completely covers them.
Occasionally they may be located on
stone, boards or any object close to the
trees. When found these masses are
soaked with creosote which prevents
them from Matching
Immediate report of the finding Of
such masses should be made to the
Commissioner of Agriculture.
