EASTERN TENT CATERPILLAR ( Malacosoma americana Fab. ) 
Massachusetts A* I. Bourne (March 16): It appears that the tent caterpillars 
are fully as numerous as a year ago, which will mean a heavy 
infestation throughout practically the entire State, Campaigns 
have "been started, interesting hoys and girls clubs, boy scouts, 
etc., to collect and destroy the overwintering egg masses, and 
the program stimulated by a few well chosen prizes offered 
by various agricultural societies has awakened a very gratifying 
response on the part of the boys and girls. Already many thous- 
ands of egg masses have been collected and destroyed. It is 
planned to continue this ™ork clear up to the time of the hatch- 
ing of the eggs. Just ^hat effect this '-'ill have upon the 
later infestation is of course merely a matter of conjecture. 
In fact, we can not be sure that it will exert any .great amount 
of influence upon the heavy infestation which is statewide. We 
will be able, in the course of another month, to report to you 
more definitely on this point.
