Eight estates in Marshfield have been found infested with 

 the gypsy moth, and the brown-tail moth is generally scat- 

 tered through the town. The gypsy moth infestations are 

 practically all in the central residential district, and have re- 

 ceived thorough treatment. The brown-tail moth nests have 

 been removed from the street trees, and work against them 

 on private estates is now under way and is being prosecuted 

 with commendable vigor. 



The citizens of this town are awake to the importance of 

 suppressing the moths, and are co-operating to the fullest 

 extent in this work.

Inspection of the roadsides and orchards in this town re- 

 vealed the presence of the brown-tail moth in considerable 

 numbers, and a single estate infested by the gypsy moth. 

 The local superintendent has shown a most commendable 

 activity in prosecuting the necessary work, and has the situa- 

 tion well in hand. Further inspecting will be necessary 

 next season, and the trees in the infested colony should be 

 burlapped and attended.
