110 THE GIPSY .MOTH. 
M \NCHESTER. 
In Manchester a majority of the infested places showed a single egg-clus- 
ter, but in two places more serious colonies were found. At one place 20 egg- 
clusters were destroyed, and at another 14. In several cases in Manchester 
the gipsy moth occurs on the street trees. These should have more careful 
attention, because of the possibility of distribution by vehicles passing 
through these streets to the outlying country. 
NASHUA. 
This city presents quite a serious gipsy moth problem, it being a center for 
considerable travel to neighboring towns. One hundred and thirty-two egg- 
clusters were taken; in many cases only a single one, but in six localities 
larger colonies were found varying from 10 to 25 egg-clusters. Unless these 
places are thoroughly cleaned up, we may have reason to expect future 
trouble in this locality. 
ROLLINSFORD. 
A year ago this town was infested, a single egg-cluster being foucd. A 
careful search this year throughout the town failed to reveal the presence of 
the gipsy moth. 
SANDOWN. 
Sandown, which was infested a year ago, shows considerable increase in 
the moth, although so far we have not found any particularly bad colonies. 
Our foreman there has noted the presence of the gipsy moth along the edge 
of woodland. Later in the season when woodland scouting is taken up a more 
thorough examination will be made here. 
WINDHAM. 
Windham, which was infested last year, shows something of an increase, 
but the town has not been finished as yet. Considerable additional work will 
be needed there. 
BEDFORD. 
In Bedford six estates were found infested, each with a single egg-cluster 
of the moth, distributed along the main line of travel following the course of 
the Merrimac river. 
GOFFSTOWN. 
Goffstown is only slightly infested, with no bad colonies known, but should 
be carefullv watched. 
LONDONDERRY. 
Londonderry, in which the presence of the moth was not known last year, 
yielded 71 egg-clusters, a majority of these being single ones, although there 
are two or three bad places. In one 25 egg-clusters were destroyed. 
MERRIMACK. 
In Merrimack nine egg-clusters were taken on four estates. As in Bedford, 
these are distributed along the main route of travel following the Merrimac 
river. 
NOTTINGHAM. 
This town presents quite a serious problem, as it is isolated from the rail- 
road and the gipsy moth is known to have appeared on 26 estates, 32 egg- 
clusters having been destroyed, in nearly every case only a single one, 
Active measures should be taken to prevent the spread of the moth north 
from this town. If the moth is allowed to spread into the more sparsely 
settled regions, where the value of the land is not so great as near large 
towns, it will soon get beyond the possibility of control. 
RAYMOND. 
In Raymond five egg-clusters were taken on four estates. While the town 
does not present a serious aspect at present, if active measures are not taken 
more serious trouble may be expected. 
AMHERST. 
The gipsy moth has been discovered in two places in the extreme western 
part of the town not far from the Mont Vernon line.
