understood that no employee of this office is authorized to do 

 such work, to be paid for directly by property owners. Any case 

 of a person making representations to the contrary should be 

 brought to the attention of the police and this office notified. 



The superintendent has organized a small corps of trained 

 agents and inspectors who are engaged in examining the infested 

 territory and in directing the work of the various cities and 

 towns. The central office is prepared to advise officials in charge 

 of local work, as well as private citizens, concerning the best 

 methods of combating the moths, and to render any assistance in 

 its power. 



If our trees are to be saved from these insects, the hearty co-op- 

 eration of all citizens will be necessary. Without such co-opera- 

 tion little can be accomplished ; with it, the pests can be brought 

 under control.
