In Charge of Gipsy Moth and Brown-Tail Moth Investigations 

 Bureau of Entomology 



The New England States are carrying the greater part of 

 the burden of gipsy moth and brown-tail moth infestation 

 because from them come mainly the funds for control work 

 and they are suffering from the injury caused by the insects, 

 but the money appropriated by the Federal Government, 

 while assisting these States in some measure, is also pro- 

 viding insurance to the uninfested States, and that at a 

 very low rate.
