A single gypsy moth colony was located in this town on 

 the farm of F. C. Cook, but a careful roadside and orchard 

 inspection failed to reveal any further signs of the insect. 

 The brown-tail moth occurs in scattering numbers in or- 

 chards throughout the town. As yet there has been but a 

 small amount of work against either insect, but we have 

 assurances that the same will be taken up at an early date. 

 It is important next year that the entire area of the town be 

 thoroughly inspected, and that the trees in the vicinity of 

 the gypsy moth colony be burlapped and attended.
