The n-e of burlap in the known gvp-y moth eohmies during 

 the -iimnier -ave excellent results. Kail -cnutiug o]>erations 

 showed -everal additional eolonie-. the principal one being on 

 Oak Street m-ar the Pembroke line, where the owner of the 

 property carries on a local express business. This place should 

 have vry careful attention. The neglected a])]ile orchards in 

 thi- town are .f course a eoii>tant source of danger, and should 

 be well looked after durin- the sniinner nionths.
