52 GYPSY AND HK'< > \\N-TAIL MOTHS. [Jan. 



If tin- i_ r "od work done in Sauirus to dato can be followed up 

 1 v a \i. campaign, of burlapping and spraying next season, 



much progress will !> mad-- in the sections so treated. Liberal 

 plantings of imported para-lie- have been made in Saugus, and 

 it i- h>prd that in the course of a few years these beneficial 

 in.-ecN will make ihem-el\vs felt here. The work in this town 

 li:t- received hearty co-operation on the part of town officials 

 and ciii/.-n- alike, ha- l>een well handled, and the results accom- 

 pli-hed are of superior quality.

 of Medford. Arlington and C'ambridge; yet, by reason of the 

 thorough work done here each year, no more gypsy moth colonies 

 have lit-coiiic e-tablished. It will be well to make a general 

 of the Inn-lap throughout the city next season, while spraying 

 will probably be necessary in a few localities.
