ROAD PATROL 
Highway inspection on roads leading from the lightly infested sections to 
nonquarantined territory started with the stationing of an Inspector on the 
Mohawk Trail near Savoy, Mass., on September 12. The first interception of a 
gypsy moth Infested plant was made on September 24. From October 15 to 
27, 13 additional posts were established — 3 in Massachusetts and 10 in Connecti- 
cut Early in November five posts were established on the holder of the lightly 
infested area in Vermont. Closing of all posts was accomplished between 
December 3 and 22. Two supplemental posts were operated in southeastern 
Connecticut for short periods just prior to the discontinuance of this work. 
When operating at their full capacity, these posts were manned by 53 road 
Inspectors. Six infested lots of material were halted at the pests and found 
to contain 1 broken and 2G normal egg cluster-. .lust prior to closing of 
the posts for the season, a truck containing 138 uncertified Christmas trees 
was stopped while en route from Lewiston, Maine, to Jamaica, Long Island. 
Examination of about one-third of the trees disclosed 20 gypsy moth egg 
clusters. The entire load was ordered returned to the generally Infested area. 
Another Important Interception led to the discovery of 75 egg clusters on cord- 
wood already trucked to Port Chester, N. v.. a point outside the quarantined 
zone. 
VIOLATIONS 
Investigations were made of 41t'» apparent violations of the gypsy moth and 
brown-tail moth quarantine. In the Bureau's first prosecution for violations 
of the gypsy moth quarantine in over 10 years, a commercial shipper and a 
common carrier were each fined for the shipment and transportation of uncerti- 
fied fuel wood from Harrington. Maine, to Klkins Park. Pa. A third prosecu- 
tion was pending in the United States District Court of Southern New York 
at the end of the fiscal year. 
BKOWN-TAIL MOTH SCOUTING 
Observations by district Inspectors disclosed scattered Infestations of the 
brown-tail moth in Orono, Maine, and two small Infestations in Old Town. 
Maine. Both of these towns are outside the brown-tail moth regulated /.one, 
hut within the lightly infested irypsy moth restricted zone. 
SATIN MOTH SCOUTING 
s outing for satin moth egg clusters beyond the boundaries of known Infested 
territory w;is performed kite in .Inly :ind early in August Poplar and willow 
were examined for presence of the egg masses. At the conclusion of the
