Tin: BBOWN-TAIL MOTH. 153 
do their fair share of the work to control this pest along 
the highways and around dwellings. It is not, of course, 
contemplated that there will be any attempt to clear wood- 
lands of the pest, except possibly public parks and pleasure 
grounds. The control of the pest will be accomplished by a 
civic pride, which will prevent it being allowed to defoliate 
the shade trees and become a menace to the public health. 
The complete law is appended to this bulletin, and should 
be carefully studied by all property owners and particu- 
larly by selectmen and those officials having its enforcement 
in charge. 
Fight the Moth Pests. 
Let every citizen who loves and is proud of the grand old 
shade trees which line the highways of New Hampshire ; let 
every farmer and fruit grower who wishes to prevent a 
future heavy tax in combatting these pests in his orchards ; 
let every lover of the mountains and forests of the Granite 
State insist upon immediate action by the towns in which 
it is now necessary, and the increase of State and Congres- 
sional appropriations for the suppression of these pests, 
which have already caused such serious devastation, and 
which if not controlled in the immediate future, may bring 
about injury beyond prediction.
