the case. There has been ;i large increase in the number of 

 egg clusters, both on street trees and in old, neglected orchards. 

 More thorough work must be done in this town next season, if 

 the moth is to be brought under control. The orchard problem 

 here is the most difficult one, and should have careful attention.

FRANK H. WINSLOW, Local Superintendent. 



The condition of this town remains about the same as in 

 1905. The infested trees were burlapped, but were not thor- 

 oughly attended, and as a result little if any gain has been 

 made in suppressing the gypsy moth. Better local work will be 

 necessary here in 1907, and more vigorous efforts should be 

 made by properly owners in the work of clearing neglected 

 orchards. 



ORLEANS. 



GEORGE JORDAN, Local Superintendent. 



The single gvj -y moth colony found here early in the year 

 by an inspector from this office has received proper attention 

 during the past season. The trees in the vicinity of the infesta- 

 tion were burlappe<l, but no caterpillars were taken. It will 

 be desirable to have this town scontetl at an early date. 



PEMBROKE. 



CALVIN S. WEST, Local Superintendent. 



The trees in the L'T gypsy moth colonies located in this town 

 were properly burlapped and attended during the caterpillar 

 season, with good results. A careful inspection was made of 

 the town lasi fall, and. as was expected, a number of im- 

 portant orchard colonies were found. At the close of the year 

 over 100 estates were found to be infested, and some 1,400 

 gypsy moth egg flusters destroyed. In nearly every instance 

 the colonies are located in or near neglected orchards. The 

 local superintendent is now at work removing worthless trees, 

 cementing cavities etc., in order to put the infestations in 

 condition for next season's work.
