RESULTS OF QUARANTINE WORK. 
The results of the quarantine work have been very satisfactory. 
Only one infested shipment of plant products has been known to 
pass out of the territory and it was promptly returned. 
Several carloads of stone and quarry products have recently been 
found infested with gipsy-moth egg masses and a quarantine was 
declared by the Secretary of Agriculture on October 23, 1914. Such 
products must now be inspected and certified the same as plant 
products. 
Considering the number of infested shipments that have been 
found and the wide range of country to which they would have been 
sent if the egg clusters had not been found and treated, it is safe to 
assert that this work has resulted in enormous saving of money 
value to the agricultural and forest interests of the United States. 
COOPERATIVE WORK. 
Since the Federal work was commenced, active cooperation has 
been secured from the States in which operations were being carried on. 
While the organization of the State force and that of the Government 
force are entirely distinct the work is planned in such a way as to avoid, 
duplication and to secure the best results. The general plan is for 
the Bureau of Entomology to concentrate its efforts in stamping out 
colonies in the territory along the western border of infestation from 
Lake Winnipesaukee to Long Island Sound, and to carry on as much 
work as may be necessary in eliminating the isolated colonies that 
have been found in New York, Ohio, western Massachusetts, and 
Connecticut. The State officials concentrate their efforts in the ter^ 
ritory inside the border towns. Owing to the hearty spirit of coop- 
eration that has existed between the Bureau of Entomology and the 
officials in New York, Ohio, and Connecticut, where isolated colonies 
are present, it has not been necessary for this office to expend much 
money for control work, as the States concerned have made every 
effort to stamp out these colonies. A system of following up and
