important infestation being in a section known as " Grew's 

 Woods," bordering the Stony Brook park reservation. All 

 told, some 12,500 street and orchard trees were bnrlapped 

 and well attended during the summer, while in certain sections 

 infested brush was cut and ground burned with the oil flame. 



A great gain has been made in reducing the moths in Hyde 

 Park W'herever work has been carried on, but the woodland 

 colonies will require much careful attention in the future. In 

 these sections the underbrush should be removed, dead and 

 worthless trees cut and burned, and the woods thinned so as to 

 permit of the economical use of burlap and spraying. 



The work done by the local superintendent is entitled to the 

 highest praise, and if properly supported in the future will 

 continue to give good results.

 W. QUINCY KINSMAN, Local Superintendent. 



Owing to the late date on which work was commenced in this 

 town, the local superintendent did not have sufficient time to 

 thoroughly cover either the street trees or private property. 

 The center of the town was, however, well covered, and the gypsy 

 moth found in small numbers over the entire district. 



Trees in the infested sections, both public and private, were 

 sprayed and burlapped with the usual satisfactory results. At 

 the present time the street trees and private property in the 

 center of the town are in a most satisfactory condition, but on 

 the outskirts much work yet remains to be done. The infested 

 orchards require especial attention. 



At the present writing badly infested brush is being cleared 

 from the roadsides. In common with other towns in this dis- 

 trict, it will be most desirable to have the woodlands thoroughly 

 inspected as soon as funds are available.

DANIEL WESTOX, Local Superintendent. 



The infested orchards in this town present the worst prob- 

 lem, and there has been a general lack of interest apparent on 

 the part of property owners, so far as assisting the local super-
