REPORT OF TREE WARDEN
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
I hereby submit the following report for the year ending
An appropriation of $2000 was made for this work. This money was used for emergency work such as removing dead, broken and dangerous trees. Fourteen hundred dollars was used for labor while $600 was for expenses.
We have several more large trees to be removed and more cabling to do to save our trees, and much trimming to be done.
Therefore, I recommend that an appropriation of $2000 be made for the care of the shade trees in 1948.
An appropriation of $250 was made for the replacement of shade trees. There were 44 new trees placed throughout the town. I recommend that the same appropriation of $250 be made for the same purpose this coming year.
We have a new disease to control, the Dutch elm disease. We have it in nearby towns and cities. In Framingham, Mass., there were four trees found with Dutch elm disease. That is getting pretty close to home. I think we should take some method to check as much of the Dutch elm disease as possible. I suggest that the sum of $300 be appropriated for this work.
Some of our trees in town need feeding badly, which will help a lot in keeping away some of the diseases. There- fore, I recommend an appropriation of $500 for the feeding of our shade trees.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES J. KNIGHT,
Tree Warden

REPORT OF MOTH SUPERINTENDENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
I hereby submit the following report for the year ending
An appropriation of $2000 was made for moth work last year, of which the running expense was about $1050 and $950 for labor. This money was used for spraying through the town once for pest control and a second spray for pest control and elm leaf beetle through part of the town.
The labor will be as great as last year if the work is to done properly.
I therefore recommend that an appropriation of $2000 be made for the suppression of gypsy moth and elm leaf beetle and for other work that should be done.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES J. KNIGHT, Moth Superintendent

REPORT OF THE MIDDLESEX COUNTY EXTENSION SERVICE 1947
The year 1947 still called for an all-out food production by farmers, as well as food conservation by homemakers. For this reason, efforts of the Extension Service during the year were largely on these factors, the production and conservation of food.
Acton's chief agricultural interest was on the production of poultry and eggs, and fruit. Individual poultry farms were assisted in problems of disease control, feeding and manage- ment. Acton serves quite largely as the poultry center for the county in the holding of county-wide meetings.
Fruit growers were visited on their farms to help with disease and production problems. Two meetings were held at Louis Flerra's Apple Storage, where information on grading and packing for market was discussed.
Thirteen dairy farmers belong to the Selective Breeding Association, this Association being an important factor in the production of better livestock.
