little or not at all for the red maples which
form the chief growth in there seem to be practically
immune from molestation even when growing on
high land. The pines also escape when they
stand near together in large bodies but whenever they
occur singly, among oaks or birches, they suffer
almost as badly as these deciduous trees. The
oaks suffer most of all and of the oaks the
white oak is the tree first attacked and
most seriously injured. Many of my finest
white oaks are already dead and many others
are obviously doomed to speedy destruction
if the brown tails attack them again this autumn.
The large, old trees go first of course but even
the younger ones perish in numbers in certain
places. In others they bear their trials very well.
