THE GYPSY iMOTH. 



217 



Chelsea. The outer row of towns is practically clear of the 

 moth, with the exception of certain wooded sections of Wo- 

 burn, Lexington and Lynntield, which have recently been 

 carefully looked over for the first time. The populated por- 

 tions of the central towns arc mostly in better condition in 

 regard to the moth now than they were a year ago. The 

 only localities in which an improvement in the condition has 

 not been made over that of last year are the three infested 

 centres in the woodland hereinbefore named. 



If the appropriation now recommended by the committee 

 is granted early in the season, there is every reason to believe 

 that the entire infested territory can be looked over within a 

 year, and that the region occupied by the moth can be slid 

 further restricted and a further advance made in the work of 

 extermination.
