per cent of the foliage injured "by the apple and thorn 
skeletonizer in a small apple orchard of abov.t 50 trees at 
Pompton. This is about S miles northwest of Paterson. Last 
year these trees were under my close observation during the

this State.

County, most of the caterpillars seemed to be in bushes at 
first, but later some got into apple trees, though they do 
not seem to ha^e increased in numbers large enough to do 
any great amount of damage. I have noticed some farmers
