Moth conditions

  Most of the forenoon was devoted to inspecting
the different pieces of woodland between the river & the
Farm with a view to ascertaining the status of moth
conditions. They are infinitely better than at this time
last year and indeed very encouraging. The woods on 
the Bedford Shore are in fine shape; the large trees
were cleared of gypsy & brown tail nests & tangle-footed
last autumn & spring but no spraying was done.
Ball's Hill was thoroughly sprayed by [?] June 5-7.
The foliage there is perfect save less dense on the back
side where many trees are stripped or nearly so. The
woods extending from Bensen's Knoll back to Pine Park
shed show little or no damage. Duren sprayed there
in May. Blakemore Ridge is badly eaten & Holden's Hill
almost stripped; nothing was done there. Davis Hill
was partially sprayed by Duren. The pests have since
done little or no harm there.
