for the presence of the pest here. This territory has been thor- 

 oughly gone over and the trees will be burlapped as the proba- 

 bilities are that this is an infestation of several years' standing 

 and probably other egg-clusters are secreted in out-of-the-way 

 places. 



A total of eighty infestations and one hundred and sixty-four 

 egg-clusters were found up to January ist, the largest being 

 the above named Gale place. 



WORK IN WELLS. 



In the town of Wells only five infestations were found up to 

 June 1st, 1907. These were all carefully burlapped and 

 watched. The worst one was that of A. B. Maxwell on the 

 old post road at Ogunquit. Twenty-nine egg-clusters were 

 found in the orchard which is back of, and close to the house. 

 Summer boarders are here each season; many of them come 

 from Massachusetts. About twenty trees were burlapped and 

 many larvae were taken. No egg-clusters were found this fall 

 during the cleaning process. 



In the John W. Davis orchard on the Beach road, a short dis- 

 tance from the old post road, eighteen egg-clusters were taken. 

 The place was burlapped and carefully tended but nothing has 

 been found. 



FALL SCOUT. 



Thirteen new infestations were found this fall making 

 eighteen in all to date. The worst of these was that on the 

 estate of A. E. Boston on the North Village road, where thirty- 

 four egg-clusters were found. The scout at this place is not 

 complete. The clusters were found in apple trees, on shade 

 trees and in a stone wall near the house. This is near a thickly 

 wooded section and will call for a new scout in the spring on 

 account of the snow that hinders the work at the present time. 



The rest of the infestations in town consist mainly of single 



egg-clusters. 



KITTERY. 



A small infestation was found on the place of Frank Fuller 

 on the Bartlett road, where a few egg-clusters were taken. 

 During the summer while attending burlaps a number of cater- 

 pillars were discovered on a large willow tree some twenty 

 yards distant from where the trees were being cared for.
