Moth conditions

  Birch Field is in excellent shape with no signs
of any damage; Duren sprayed it in May. The oaks
about the spring and in Pulpit Rock woods were treated
at the same time and are equally secure. Those in
the row below the peach orchard and at the rear
of the barn are dense with perfect foliage. They, too
were sprayed. Everywhere in and about the
cultivated land at the Farm the trees are in
excellent condition. Practically all of the[m] were
heavily sprayed and still show lead. The Berry Pasture
is in almost perfect condition although little
spraying was done there. We cast off all the brown-
tails['] nests last March, however. The thorough spraying
about the Farm & elsewhere has been a perfect
success his year probably because we have used a 
strong lead solution (1 to 5). Last year it was a failure
in many places nowhere wholly successful.
