Report of Field
Agent, Gypsy
Moth Work

TO Hon. r. +. Washburn.
Commissioner Of Agriculture:
| herewith submit my report as
field agent in charge Of Gynsy moth
work for the two years ending June
80. 1924
The worl; OF the past two years
has been carried on along the same
lines as in previous years. The three
divisions OF the work may be termed
creosotinG egg clusters. spraying for
larya, and the distribution of para
sites. 4 division Of labor has been
carried out whereby the men on the
moth work are taken. from time to
time. for work on the European Corn
Eorer, especially during the summer
session when a quarantine IS main
tanned. There are sections Of the
state where it is apparent that the
Gypsy moth is not increasing very
| fast but remains at about the same
standard. This situation, it is belieV-
ed. is due to the fact that egg Clus-
tors. above the snow line after being
subjected to Il temperature of TWEEN
ty-fiVe degrees below zero, will not
hatch Another factor is that severe
rains at some seasons of the year. eS-
pecially in the spring. have a tend
ency to destroy a great many of the
larVa. The parasite work which has
been carried on for Il great many
years, is now showing good results
and it is possible to make reCoveries
/ in the southwestern part OF the state
! in sufficient quantities to encourage
( the department in its belief that par
asite work will eventually be an i'm
! pOrtant factor in the handling of the
/ moth situation.
The power Sprayer which we arc
now operating for the third season,
| has given excellent results in the
! territory where it has been used, not
: only in handling the Gypsy moth sit
! uation but destroying the elm leaf
! beetle which feeds so heavily upon
! our elm trees. Cooperative spraying
! work has been done each season with
the towns of Berwick. South Berwick.
/ York. Kenncbunk. Biddeford. SaCo,
| Bath. Auburn. Sanford Lyman and
| Wells. The towns are purchasing
( the lead and this department is furn
! iShing the machine and the men. 1t
is to be regretted that there are not
more auto SprayerS owned by this
| department so that we could assist
! more towns, but these are expensive
machines and while we believe fully
that they pay a dividend, it is not
thought feasible to ask for any more
owing to the fact that the division is
trying to keep its expenses within a
rea s0nable limit. About five tons Of
powdered arsenate of lead are used
every season and. as far as the in
spectors have been able to determine,
satisfactory results have been OBJ
/ tanned in every instance.
Parasite Work
The policy has been, in this branch
Of work. to cooperate very closely
with the |. :. Department of Agri-
culture Laboratory at Melrose High

man in charge of parasitic work. has

THAT is Americanized Prussianism

Of the militaTists not all Of whom

are timely. Some Of his workers
