Gypsy Moth conditions

  Woods east of Ritchie place on road to Bensen's. - Here
I found the infestation general but light save in
a few places. It is evident that the "wilt" has been
most actively at work in these woods and has done
splendid service for last year the conditions were as
bad as could be.
  Barrett Run. Infestation bad in spots but on the
whole less so than last year.
  Outskirts of the Farm. - The large oaks forming the
row along the wall below the peach orchard and those 
in the cluster just behind the barn were white with
laying moths. The birches on the slope towards the cow
pasture appeared to be nearly free from moths or larvae.
The berry pasture was badly infested along the wall
which crosses it from east to west but not elsewhere.
