colonies just over the line which will 
soon spread into Manchester if they are 
not cared for, and several smaller col- 
onies and slight infestations along the 
Manchester-Essex road which will have 
to be cared for in connection with the 
other work.’’ 
Philip Dexter, who owns so much 
woodland on his various roads running 
from Nianchester toward Magnolia Sta- 
tion, is preparing to take up an active 
campaign this summer with two spraying 
machines of his own, and will care for 
the woods at that end of Manchester at 
his own expense. 
It is understood that the Summer Res- 
idents’ Committee has asked the select- 
men of Manchester to co-operate in this 
movement, and that the town of Man- 
chester will be asked to appropriate a 
sum of money to be paid to the state 
treasurer and to be spent in this cam- 
paign. If this is done the summer resi- 
dents will be asked to contribute their 
share of the money, so that at least three 
times asmuch money will be spent in 
the Manchester woodson the gypsy moth 
colonies immediately adjoining the same 
as the town of Manchester itself appro- 
priates. 
It is proposed this year to buy four 
more power spraying machines making 
eight in all that will be available for work 
in the woods so that the spraying can be 
done earlier, more thoroughly, and more 
acres can be cared for at one time, thus 
preventing the defoliation which took 
place last year in some of the woods that 
could not be sprayed before the caterpil- 
lars had done considerable damage. 
Mr. Worthley stated that the condi- 
tions in all of the woods treated were 
very much better this year than they were 
last, and that in many places where there 
were thousands of egg clusters last year 
they could only be counted by tens this 
year.

A ride over the Gloxcester branch of 
the Boston & Maine is delightful in sum- 
mer, but | wonder if people cannot see 
a creat deal of beauty in it even inthe 
winter,season. I can. 
It is particularly striking to look over 
the snow-clad marshes to the open sea, 
to ride through the woods robed in their 
white garments, and through the rocky 
cuts, these latter presenting particularly 
striking spectacles at this time. The 
snow melts above and the water comes 
trickling down over the rocks, freezing 
as it falls, and each cut in the precipice 
is covered with miniature N agaras which 
gleam and glisten in the sunlight. Old 
Cape Ann presents attraction always to 
those who love the beauties of nature.---
