The gypsy moth has been found on 10 estates in this town, 

 and the brown-tail moth has been observed in small num- 

 bers. None of the gypsy moth colonies offer any particular 

 difficulties in the way of treatment, if the work can be carried 

 on in a vigorous manner. The town officials have shown a 

 most helpful spirit in the matter, and the necessary work is 

 being done in a thoroughly satisfactory way by the local 

 superintendent. The trees in the gypsy moth colonies should 

 be burlapped and carefully attended next season.

A single gypsy moth egg cluster was found at Fayville, 

 in Southborough, by the State inspector, and a very general 

 infestation by the brown-tail moth was observed in the town. 

 The necessary work against the moths has been carried on 

 here in a most excellent manner, and if continued under the 

 present management should show satisfactory results next 

 season. In Southborough in past years a great deal of good 

 work has been done in suppressing serious shade tree insects.
