about June Goth. The moths, which
are only about 3-16ths of an inch
in length lay their eggs on the new
, needles and the young larvae hatch
ing out Immediately begin to tunnel
or mine within the needle, causing
it to turn yellow and then brown,
starting from the tip. When very
numerous practically all the needles
en- a tree may be injured and in many
cases destroyed, as in the present
outbreak.
AS soon as the mine is long enough
to form case portion of the needle
is cut off and the larva proceeds with
this protection to another leaf.
When attacking a needle the larva
first cuts Il circular hole through
which its head and later its body
may extend for feeding purposes.
The case, which at first is whitish,
gradually becomes gray with age,
and is lined by the larrae with SILK.
Upon the approach of cold weather
the larva carrying its case, retires
to sheltered place on the branches
or beneath bark and lichens on the
main trunk. The larvae again be-
come active carly in the spring and
continue feeding. Owing to the fact
that nearly all the feeding is done
within the leaf, it will proba bly, prove
a difficult insect to check. There is
at present every indication that con-
siderable damage may be done to the
larch for the insect is becoming ex-
tremely numerous
The native larch known scientif-
cally is Lariz Laricina is called by
o large number of common or local
names. In Maine it is commonly re-
ferred TO as hackmatack or frequently
even as juniper, but the latter name
is very misleading as two real speci-
mems of juniper occur in this state.

all the small privileges which they
ask within reasonable limits" says
Attorney General Shaw.
THE statute says that motor vehi-
Giles licensed under Section 53 shall
be regarded as registered under
such general distinguishing number
until sold, exchanged or operated for
hire. In my opinion, the highway
commission may allow the dealers
to use the trucks for their own pri-
vate purposes. but they would have
no right to operate the same for
hire.
Replying to the last question, my
opinion is that If a dealer sets aside
and uses one or more specific trucks
for general work. it should be IL
censed if charge is made for the
work done"
BY agreement between the state
highway commission and representa-
tives of the Maine Automobile Deal
ers' Association, questions were sub
mitted to Attorney General Shaw.

Presence of
Forest Insect

Considerable attention has been
| called to the browning of the larch
or tamarack in kennebec, Lincoln,
Knox, Waldo, Hancock and Wash
lngton counties. In many localities
large stands of larch appeared as if
a fre had swept through, whereas
a few weeks previous they had been
green. In places where the .arch
occurs in large stands making up a
high percentage of the forest, whole
hillsides or valleys looked brown.
The first thought was that the arch
sawfy was again sweeping over the
state. This insect destroyed practl-
cally all Of the larch in the state in
1882 and has practically made the
larch tree extinct in some of the
eastern states. Within the last few
years. however, large quantities of
larch have again begun to fill in on
old pastures. The larch is an ex-
tremely valuable tree, the wood being
very durable so that it is used for
the upper knees of small vessels, tele-
graph poles, fence posts and railroad
ties, besides being used in cabinet
work and for interior finishing.
Examination of the stands of larch
have shown that the trees are being
attacked by a comparatively new in
sect TO this region. 1t is known as
the "Larch Case Bearer" and is very
common throughout Europe where it

European Larch. a tree that is quite
widely planted in the Northeastern
United States. At that time it caused
considerable injury to a 80 years old
stand OF larch at Northampton, Mass.
1t has been known for a good many
years at the Arnold Arboretum at
Boston and has also been observed
At Albany, New York. At the pres
ent time very little is known as to
the life history of the insect. Obser-
Vations are now being carried on by
the Maine Forestry Department in
an effort to determine whether the
insect is likely to prove serious or
not.
