The most serious infestation of gypsy moths yet discovered in this gtate has been located in Columbia county by a scouting party in the employ of the New York State Con servation commission. Sixty-two egg masses found in a birch and oak forest of 100 acres in the Austerlitz mountains near the Massachusetts sta.te line were exterminated, and the immunization of the forest jromptly cai'ried out, and the hope was ex pressed that the inroads of this most destructive forest and orchard pest were checked at that point. This county was thoroughly gone over last year by conservation com mission scouts in the effort he ing made to prevent the importation of this destructive pest from Massa chusetts. No serious infestations were discovered in this vicinity. The commission describes tie gypsy moth as. an incorrspicious insect, tang ing in size from less than an inch in the pupa to about two and a half inches in the caterpillar, the actual moths being about an inch long. Look ing for a needle in a haystaclc, com ments the commission, would .be simple compared to hunting for hese months in the forests, fields and orchards covering 10,000 square milles. It is a game of hide and seek. A- gypsy moth caterpillar, aided by favoring winds, drifts across the bor der and finds lodgement in the rough bark of a tree, in an oid stump or stone wall, where it develops into the j pupa and adult stage, laying COUNTY NEWS CAMBRIDGE HIm N. \BlanclM Oraner If till Ouatnldc* Is authorised to r«celv» •ut>»crli)tton» ind repreaoutattT# a{ tbe axesn-wleh Journal ind idvertliementa. \ Annual Meeting and Election of Offi cers of the yf Oman’s Missionary Society of the Methodist Church.

Adirondacks, the Catskills and tho rest of the groat forested area, as well as the orchard and shade tries, the state has established a barrier zone, which includes all that portion of the state lying east of the Hudson rivirr and Lake Champlain from I.onc; Island to the Canadian border. In this zone, which is roughly 300 miles loflg by about 30 miles wide, the forces of the conservation commis sion and the United States depart ment of agriculture are waging con stant warfare afeainst the ninths Every towh in the zone is mapped and scouting parties of especially trained men are searching for telltale tigns. The recently discovered Auiterlitz infestation lay on both sides of the road between Speneertown, N. V., and ■North Egrement, Mass., the forest occupying two ridges, the egg masses being- found in or near the top of the ridge on each side of the road. Trees A the immediate vicinity wore at once girdled with a preparation to prevent caterpillar? from going up the trunks and the whole area was then carefully sprayed, the lethal chars? of arsenate of lead rising above the tons of the highest trees. The spraying machine used hy ihe exterminators is a powerful gasoline- driven affair mounted on a heavy truck and is supplied with unlimited hose, made to withstand great pres sure. the outfit including a tank for mixing the arsenate of lead used in the spray and a 400-gallon delivery tank. Four days’ -work sufficed to com plete the spraying of the 100-acre tract and cover the foliage with poison sufficient to kill any cater pillar feeding on it. Two sprayings, .says the commission, at intervals of a fortnight, insure the extermination of the caterpillars. To date only eleven infestations of the moths have been reported as found in the barrier zone, an<l these have been cleaned up and an area left that will be deadly for new comers. Fresh infestations are ex pected to continue along the New England border, from the badly in fested areas to the east, but from she results already obtained tho coin- lission believes there is reasonable ope of success in exterminating this forest pest, which for more than twenty years has successfully resisted alt control in New England.
