A mixed growth of hard and soft wood that is sure to be destroyed by the 

 gypsy moth unless the owner spends large sums of money in spraying and treat- 

 ing. The only practical forestry solution is to immediately cut out the hard 

 woods and give the whole area over to the white pine. In an infested stand like 

 this the pines are killed outright in a year or two; therefore, owners having 

 similar woodlands should give them early attention. The pine in clear stands 

 by itself is perfectly resistant to the moths. 



A severe thinning, to be followed by underplanting with white pine. The prod- 

 uct, which was largely white oak, sold for enough to meet the expense. Gypsy 

 moth suppression work on the Karlstein property at Dedham. This property 

 was stripped the past season.
