TENT CATERPILLAR
MENACE IN STATE
Serious Outbreak Similar TO 1855
Feared Boy Scouts Asked to
Destroy Them.

MONTPELIER. Nay 19.-Tent cater
pillar nests are appearing throughout the
state of Vermont in much greater num-
bers than was the case last season, ac-
cording to the report of Harold L. Bailey,
in charge of insect suppression for the
Vermont department of agriculture, and
that department reiterates its previous
warning to the effect that the insect is
making rapid progress toward one of its
serious outbreaks. The last such out
break occurred in 1875, when almost
every apple tree in the state, except those
carefully sprayed suffered from the at
tack of the pest, and the landscape was
made unsightly by the tents spreading
over the branches of apple and wild
cherry trees.
That situation is bound to be repeated
within a few seasons unless concerted
action is taken to head it OFF. The recur-
renee of such great numbers of the insect
may in large measure be prevented if
those who have apple and wild cherry
trees viii, while the insects are still
within bounds, crush or burn the masses
of caterpillars, and if people passing over
country roads at this season of the year
will take pains to destroy at least few
of the tents they see or the roadside trees
and bushes This work might especially
commend itself to Boy Scouts and school
boys in general.
Each tent generally contains more
than 100 eaterpillars which, if unmo-
Tested, develop into moths in June. and
as each female moth lays about 200 eggs.
il is clear that the destruction of tile
occupants of one tent right now is
equivalent to about a days work in cater
pillar killing two or three years from
now.
The after-blossom, or calyx, spray is of
value in destroying these caterpillars.

MONTPELIER, May 10.
When residents of the Bailey farm at
Montpelier Junction looked out of the
window at 4.30 o'clock this morning they
saw a Ford car in the field, but no one
was with it and indications caused sus-
picion of trouble.
An investigation showed that inside
the car and on the running board were
the parts of a mans suit, bloodstained
and with bullet hole through the vest
and shirt, indicating that the man had
been shot just above the heart.
The body was missing and a leather
pocket book found near the car was
empty
A motor vehicle registration certificate
and an operators license issued to VIII
liam r. Gay of Hancock were found in
leather case in the car.
The police were notified and after visit
ing the scene they were convinced that
robbery and murder had been committed
They are working on that theory.
Mr.. Gays wife was notified at her
home and started mt once for Montpelier
The Winooski river, which runs within
200 yards of where the automobile was
found, is being searched, the theory being
that whoever murdered Mr.. Gay removed
his clothing and threw the body into the
river
A bullet which went through Mr..
Gay's body was found imbedded in the
back of the front seat of the car.
Mr.. Gay was commercial traveller.
