Rules for Inspecting Sections, Marking Trees and Destroying 

 Eggs. 



15. Each inspector must keep in his note-book a complete 

 record of all work done in his section. This book is to be returned 

 to the director's office when called for, and to be left there when 

 the inspector's term of office expires. 



16. Each inspector must carry his section map with him in the 

 field and locate upon the map (by means of such marks as may 

 be ordered by the director) each tree or locality that he finds 

 infested. 



17. Each tree found infested must be at once marked with such 

 characters as may be designated by the director, the mark to be 

 on the trunk at three points equidistant from each other and five 

 feet from the ground. 



18. When a tree is found infested which has been marked in a 

 previous season, the new mark is to be placed two inches above 

 each of the latest marks. 



19. Each object on which egg-clusters of the gypsy moth are 

 found in "outside towns" must be marked with a spot of white 

 paint the size of a ten-cent piece, this spot to be within an inch of 

 each egg-cluster. Egg-clusters found in woodland must be sur- 

 rounded with a ring of white paint. 



20. No trees on highways, in orchards or upon grounds about 

 residences are to be cut, burned or trimmed unless it is found to 

 be actually necessary. In every case where a large branch is cut 

 off the stump must be covered with coal-tar. Trees must not be 

 cut down unless written permission is obtained of the owner, or 

 unless it is so ordered by the director. 



21. Each inspector will pay special attention to the trees and 

 shrubbery along the lines of railroad in his territory. The grounds 

 around railroad stations must be carefully inspected. 



22. Inspectors are not to call at the office except to leave re- 

 ports, or unless by special order of the director. 



23. Each inspector or acting inspector having chai-ge of two 

 or more men will form his men in line and call the roll at seven 

 A.M. at the place where he begins work. He will again form 

 them in line and call the roll at the close of the day's work. 



24. When the roll is called at night inspectors must state dis- 

 tinctly to their men the point at which they will call the roll on 

 the following morning, and any employee who fails to answer this 

 roll-call will not be allowed full time.
