trees in LaFayette during the past few weeks*

FALL TTEE70RM (Hyphantr ia r.unea Drury) 
R» W, Harned (July 7): The fall webworm is very rare at the 
present time in the northeastern part of the State, "but is appearing 
in large numbers in the southern part. During 1922 and 1923 this 
insect was much more abundant in the northern part' of the State 
than in the southern part. During the last week in May the moths 
were abundant and numerous egg masses were noticed. Since then 
the webs have been conspicuous by their absence. It is thought 
that natural enemies have held them in check.

were reported from Marion on July 15- The tips of the branches, 
usually the first node from the terminal growth, showed an

seems to be more abundant than usual this year in spots and many
