  RECORD 
  OF 
  SCOUTING 
  IN 
  YARMOUTH, 
  ME. 
  

  

  Scouting 
  operations 
  were 
  commenced 
  in 
  Yarmouth, 
  Me., 
  on 
  Octo- 
  

   ber 
  23, 
  1911, 
  by 
  a 
  crew 
  of 
  experienced 
  scouts 
  under 
  the 
  control 
  of 
  

   Mr. 
  A. 
  M. 
  G. 
  Soule. 
  All 
  the 
  territory 
  east 
  of 
  the 
  Grand 
  Trunk 
  

   Railroad 
  and 
  south 
  of 
  the 
  Maine 
  Central 
  Railroad, 
  about 
  7 
  square 
  

   miles, 
  was 
  examined. 
  This 
  section 
  of 
  the 
  town 
  of 
  Yarmouth 
  con- 
  

   sists 
  largely 
  of 
  cleared 
  land 
  and 
  pastures. 
  The 
  wooded 
  areas 
  are 
  

   in 
  relatively 
  small 
  blocks, 
  less 
  than 
  3 
  square 
  miles 
  of 
  the 
  area 
  being 
  

   in 
  woodland. 
  The 
  tree 
  growth 
  was 
  rated 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Soule 
  as 
  follows 
  : 
  

  

  Per 
  cent. 
  

  

  Conifers 
  30 
  

  

  Oak 
  49 
  

  

  Maple 
  1 
  

  

  It 
  will 
  be 
  noted 
  that 
  nearly 
  one-half 
  of 
  the 
  trees 
  in 
  the 
  area 
  are 
  

   oak; 
  that 
  conifers 
  were 
  10 
  per 
  cent 
  less 
  than 
  in 
  the 
  district 
  scouted 
  

   in 
  Lisbon; 
  and 
  that 
  the 
  area, 
  although 
  smaller, 
  was 
  more 
  suited 
  to 
  

   rapid 
  infestation, 
  owing 
  to 
  the 
  character 
  of 
  the 
  tree 
  growth. 
  

  

  During 
  the 
  winter 
  of 
  1910-11 
  15 
  infestations 
  were 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  

   entire 
  town, 
  7 
  of 
  them 
  being 
  in 
  the 
  area 
  under 
  consideration. 
  All 
  of 
  

   these 
  places 
  were 
  along 
  the 
  highways 
  or 
  in 
  orchards. 
  Five 
  of 
  the 
  

   seven 
  each 
  had 
  a 
  single 
  egg 
  cluster, 
  one 
  had 
  two 
  clusters, 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  

   other 
  a 
  pupal 
  case 
  was 
  secured. 
  No 
  egg 
  clusters 
  Avere 
  found 
  in 
  these 
  

   places 
  this 
  year, 
  but 
  a 
  total 
  of 
  27 
  infestations, 
  containing 
  56 
  egg 
  

   clusters, 
  was 
  discovered. 
  Five 
  of 
  the 
  colonies 
  were 
  in 
  woodland, 
  and 
  

   in 
  one 
  of 
  them 
  17 
  new 
  clusters 
  and 
  1 
  old 
  one 
  were 
  found. 
  

  

  Yarmouth 
  is 
  located 
  nearer 
  the 
  badly 
  infested 
  area 
  than 
  Lisbon, 
  

   and 
  more 
  woodland 
  infestations 
  should 
  be 
  expected 
  than 
  in 
  the 
  case 
  

   of 
  the 
  latter 
  town.
