THE GIPSY MOTH CAMPAIGN. 



Satisfactory progress in the cam- 

 paign against the gipsy moth and the 

 bi'own-tail moth in New England since 

 the reorganization of the work In 

 .March. 191.3. is announced in a report 

 on this work just issued by the Bureau 

 of Entomology, of the V. S. Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture. Because, how- 

 ever, of the enormous area already In- 

 fested it has been Imiwssible to cover 

 much of the woodland and the Insect 

 has gradually spread. On the other 

 band, scouting work and hand treat- 

 ment of the egg clusters have ma- 

 terially checked this spread toward 

 the west, and other methods of control 

 have greatly reduced the infestation 

 in certain areas. 



Excellent results are reported from 

 the imported parasites of the gipsy 

 moth during the past year. Over 2,000 

 colonies have been located in a large 

 number of towns. 



Another factor in keeping down the 

 gipsy and hrown-tail is the wilt dis- 

 ease but the study of this is for cer- 

 tain technical reasons very difficult, 

 and a large amount of work is still 

 necessary in order to discover the con- 

 ditions most favorable for its increase 

 and development 



In addition to the territory already 

 infested, the gipsy moth has been 

 found in a number of new townships 

 in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, 

 Massachusetts and Connecticut. The 

 Department of Agriculture proposes to 

 quarantine the areas recently found to 

 be infected, and a public hearing on 

 the matter will be held in Washing- 

 ton, at 10 o'clock, on May 6. The ter- 

 ritory w^hich it is proposed to Include 

 in this extension of the quarantine is 

 as follows: Anson, Dixmont, Orring- 

 ton. Lamoine, Trenton, in .Maine: Han- 

 over, Lebanon, Enfield, Grafton, Grant- 

 ham, Plainfleld, Cornish, Croyden, 

 Claremont, Unity, Charlestown, Lemps- 

 ter, Acworth, Langdon, .Marlow, Ai- 

 sled, Walpole, Westmoreland, Surrey, 

 Gilsum, Sullivan in New Hampshire; 

 Norwich, Hartford, in Vermont: Ley- 

 den, Deerfield, Montague, Wendell, 

 West Brookfield, Brookfield, Warren, 

 Ilrimfield, Sturbridge, Holland, Wales, 

 I'iilmer, Monson. in Massachusetts; 

 Kastford, Hampton, Chaplin, Scotland, 

 Canterbury, .Mansfield, Plainfield, Ster-
