(.Vl'SV AND l',Il<)WN-TAIL MOTII>. [Jan. 



HAVKUHILL. 



GEORGE F. MOORE, Local Superintendent. 



winter work in this city was vigorously prosecuted by 

 tin- I'.'i-iiK-r local .-uperiniendent, Henry Frost, who carried on 

 a very thorough campaign against the bro\vn-tail moth in the 

 early months of the year. 



All the iiyp.-y moth colonies were particularly cared for dur- 

 ing the, summer months, and during the fall the State inspector 

 in charge of the district made a careful scouting of a large part 

 of the city. A- a result some 27 new gypsy moth infestations 

 wen- discovered, the most important ones being on Main and 

 Sail-in -iivets. The latter colony in the Bradford district oc- 

 curs in an apple orchard, where much careful work will be 

 required next year. 



The work of 1907 should include the general use of the 

 burlap wherever the gypsy moth has been found, while spraying 

 can be done to great advantage in the principal infested districts. 



\Ve are glad at this time to express our appreciation of the 

 -Ill-lit work done by Mr. Henry Frost during the period when 

 the tield operations wore in his charge. He co-operated fully 

 with this office in carrying out our suggestions, and proved him- 

 self a most eompeteiii and energetic official.
