SAXON FOREST PEST. 

 A report from Consul Carl Bailey 

 Hurst states that fears are entertained 

 in the Plauen district of Saxony that 

 many of the torests will be destroyed 

 in part, if not altogether, by the rav- 

 ages of caterpillars of the moth called 

 by local entomologists Ocneria mona- 

 cha, and popularly known as nuns or 

 black arches. " Under date of August 

 29, he writes: 



Tils species is particularly harmful to 

 couiferous trees, in which Saxony abounds. 

 Although at home throughout Germany, 

 Its arrival in Increased numbers in outly- 

 ing parts of the country w.-is noticed \\iih 

 some apprehension a few weeks ago. It 

 was supposed that its appearance was only 

 sporadic and temporary. Fostered by no 

 one knows what favorable conditions, 

 literally clouds of the mollis have de- 

 veloped of late. Localities that were ex- 

 empt are now infected by moths which 

 have come by means of the railroad. At- 

 tracted by the light, they have clung at 

 night to the slower moving accommoda- 

 tion trains and have been transported from 

 forests where the plague is present to 

 others hitherto free. 



Combating with a foe so widespread and 

 elusive, the struggle is an unequal one, 

 with the chances in favor of the moth. 

 In case nothing effective can be accom- 

 plished ai once, it is belii ved that by 

 another year the insects will multiply a 

 thousandfold. If their natural enemies. 

 the birds, and their own diseases, which 

 together have in the past kept their num- 

 bers down, do not weaken them materially, 

 It Is hi. ped that some climatic change will 

 cause them to disappear with the same un- 

 canny suddenness that they came. 



1 I i re is uncertainty as to the best 

 metliod of exterminating the pest. State 

 and communal forests are being inspected 

 and moths and caterpillars picked off the 

 trees wherever possible Private owners 

 of wooded land have bad their property 

 gone over with the purpose ,,f destroying 

 as many of the moths, particularly the 

 more dangerous females, as may be caught. 

 In the forests belonging to this municipal- 

 ity 0000 moths have been killed within the 

 past few days. 



In another pair of the country an espe- 

 cial contrivance has just been arranged for 

 the destruction of the On the roof 



of the town electric works three powerful 

 searchlights were placed close to exhaust 

 pipes, with the result that in a single night 

 130 pounds were taken, estimated at half a 

 million moths. In the rural districts chil- 

 dren have I.een given a free day from 

 school so that they may gather the moths, 

 for which they are given a couple of cents 

 for every 100 caught. In spite of all ef- 

 forts, however, the moths seem to be in 

 the same ubiquitous evidence as before
