1908.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT No. 73. 105 



The existence of the gypsy moth in various places in the 

 woods west of Prospect Street makes imperative an inspection 

 of the entire area, so that any additional infestations there may 

 be promptly located and cared for. Such inspection will be 

 made before May 1. The only known woods colony in the 

 southern part of the town is a very slight infestation off Pine 

 Street, near Green Street. 



Much work in orchards infested by the gypsy moth still re- 

 mains to be done, and a large amount of burlap must be used 

 during the coming summer. 



NORWOOD. 



H. F. WINSLOW, Local Superintendent. 



The winter scouting when completed showed 6 infested es- 

 tates. These were cleared up, burlapped and well attended dur- 

 ing the summer. The colony on Pleasant Street, covering some 

 5 acres, and another of about the same size on Leyden Street 

 are the two most important infestations in the town. In all, 

 over 3,200 caterpillars were taken under the burlaps in these 

 two colonies. The fall inspection of the residential district has 

 not increased the number of known infested places, and with 

 good work the moths should be controlled here without unusual 

 difficulties. 



ORLEANS. 



ALBERT W. SMITH, Local Superintendent. 



The two former infested places in this town were burlapped 

 last summer, as in 1906, but again nothing was found. In 

 December last a single egg cluster was found by Inspector 

 Carleton on the South Orleans road. A large part of the town 

 has been inspected, and the area that still remains to be looked 

 over will be cared for before spring. 



The brown-tail moth infestation in this town is slight and 

 scattering. 



PEMBROKE. 



CALVIN S. WEST, Local Superintendent. 



In Pembroke, as in so many other towns of Plymouth County, 

 the orchard problem has been given the first attention. In 1907 

 the local superintendent and various property owners did con- 

 siderable work in orchards, worthless trees being cut and others
