1906.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT No. 73. 95 



Two places in Stoughton have been found infested by the 

 gypsy moth. The egg clusters have been destroyed, and 

 next season the trees should be burlapped and carefully 

 attended. The brown-tail moth is generally distributed 

 throughout the entire toAvn, but there appear to be no serious 

 difficulties in controlling either insect if suitable funds are 

 available. The town officials have been prompt to comply 

 with every suggestion from this office, and as a result we are 

 hopeful that the moths will soon be brought under control.

The inspection of roadsides, orchards and several private 

 estates in this town revealed a single gypsy moth egg cluster, 

 and the brown-tail moth was observed in small numbers. 

 The necessary suppressive w r ork was promptly done, but a 

 further inspection will be necessary. The usual work of 

 burlapping will be required next season in the gypsy moth 

 colony.

Nine estates in Sudbury have been found infested by the 

 gypsy moth, the principal colony being located on Landham 

 Road. The brown-tail moth occurs in serious numbers in 

 the southern part of the town, and is generally scattered 

 elsewhere over the entire area. The work in this town has 

 been organized, and is being prosecuted in a satisfactory 

 manner. About two-thirds of the area of the town has been 

 covered at this writing.
