THE INFESTED REGION REDUCED. 71 



It was shown in the report that the region occupied by 

 the moth had been considerably reduced by the work already 

 done, and the belief of the committee was stated that with the 

 appropriation asked for still more could be accomplished 

 toward reducing the infested area. The report described the 

 probable condition of the parks, woodlands and farms of 

 the State should the moth be allowed to go on unchecked. 

 Every effort was made to place fully before the Legislat- 

 ure the necessity of continuing the work with a view to 

 extermination.
