REPORT OF THE GYPSY MOTH SUPERINTENDENT.
The work against the gypsy and brown tail moths in 1911 comprised, first, the usual winter work, the cutting off of webs
-42-
of the brown tail moth and the creosoting of egg clusters of the gypsy moths in the woods.
The brown tail moths were not very numerous a year ago, while this year they seem to be even less in number.
Last winter's work against the gypsy moth showed a better condition in most of the known wood colonies, especially the one on Plymouth street, near Middleboro line.
As is always the case, a number of new wood colonies were found, about fifteen in all.
The usual summer burlapping was done in those orchards where the gypsy moths were most numerous, but in no case were the caterpillars found in great numbers. This was due. chiefly to the fall work of cutting and removing dead wood, also closing cavities in the trees. A number of new orchard colonies were found in different parts of the town.
The inspection of woods, which follows the orchard work, is in progress. Two known wood colonies where gypsy moth egg clusters are plentiful enough to make the conditions quite serious are the South Meadow cedar swamp and the Nelson Sherman wood lot on Plymouth street. Creosoting must be done in both places, and in the Plymouth street lot this should be followed by spraying in the spring.
The gypsy moths are known to be scattered pretty generally in the woods of Carver, and without question there are other colonies as yet unknown, some of which may be in a serious condition. But all possible has been done in searching out these colonies with the money available. And with sufficient. funds the gypsy moth can be suppressed in any town, pro- vided the work is undertaken in time.
The purchase of a power sprayer on very favorable terms, as arranged by the State in the case of other towns, is recom- mended.
This report has been submitted to J. A. Farley, the State field agent in charge of the moth work in this section, and ap- proved by him.

In addition to the moth work, the usual spraying against the elm leaf beetle was done, and the shade trees of the town were kept in good condition.

The duties of a constable are numerous, and they are called upon to settle, and they do adjust without bringing before the Court, numbers of cases yearly, of which no enumeration is. made in this yearly report.
To my mind prevention of evil doers is much more ef- fectual so far as a community is concerned, than punishment.
The past year we have had very little crime of a serious nature in our midst.
Most of the offences were of minor importance.
In closing this report, I wish to express my kind regards to the Honorable Board of Selectmen for the suggestions and courteous treatment received from them.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES W. LEWIS,
GEORGE H. POWERS, NEHEMIAH G. SWIFT, Constables of Carver.
