REPORT OF MOTH SUPERINTENDENT AND TREE WARDEN.
TO THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN:
The gypsy-moth work has been carried on the past year in the same manner as in previous years. We had a large number of trees burlapped, and found a great many larvæ. The result gen- erally was very good, especially in those colonies where the em- ployees of the town did all the work. One woodland colony, which has been infested for three years, was thoroughly sprayed. Owing to a number of oaks, the burlap system had not reduced the number of moths, although it had kept them from increasing. This fall we found the least number of eggs there since first locat- ing the colony. Some shade-trees in different parts of the town were sprayed, with equally good results.
The scouting this fall and winter has shown quite an increase in the number of colonies. We now have one hundred and twenty- one known colonies. Many of these contain only one or two clusters of eggs, while others are more seriously infested. They are scattered all over town. We have creosoted over eleven hun- dred clusters, without counting those in four of the woodland col- onies. One of these is in bad condition. It is estimated that we creosoted over twenty thousand clusters there. In the second one we have not finished creosoting, but there has not been much increase. There is probably a thousand clusters there. In the third one, which was our worst colony last year, no work has been done, but from examination it looks as though there were not so many eggs as last year. In the fourth colony the owner has creosoted a large number, probably a thousand clusters, and there are many more there. There has been a large increase in this infestation. With the exception of the first and fourth col- ony here mentioned, there has been no serious increase in the colonies of last year. In a number of woodland colonies there has been a decrease in the number of eggs found. With our present
82
method of work in woodland we do not expect to do more than to keep them from increasing.
In orchard and shade trees we get better results, and our scout- ing shows that well-kept orchards are not badly infested, and generally not at all. An apple-tree that has no cavities and no loose bark is seldom found with gypsy-moth eggs on it.
It would be better, and it may be necessary, to do more spray- ing in woodland the coming season. Spraying in woodland by hand power is expensive, and our present equipment of one pump is kept busy during the season of spraying on our shade-trees,- spraying for the beetle.
I have been unable until this year to get any parasites. In July I received and placed in one woodland colony a colony of the Anastatus bifasciatus, a minute parasite of the gypsy-moth egg, a native of Europe and Japan. Unfortunately, this parasite spreads very slowly, as the female, like the female of the moth, does not fly, and no immediate results can be expected. I also secured and placed in the same colony one hundred predatory beetles, the European Calosoma, from which good results are ex- pected. We tried to get more of these insects, but were unable to.
The nests of the brown-tail were very plentiful, but no count has been kept of them. There were a number of thousands of them. This increase is not caused by any neglect to destroy the nests of last season, as n t of these moths probably came to us.
On moonlight nights ing their flight the wind will blow them many miles. They do not seem to be very prevalent in our wood- land, and are easily removed from' our orchard and shade trees without great expense. It is expected that parasites and a dis- ease that may be spread among them will keep them in check.
The question is often raised that, in spite of our work, the gypsy moth is increasing. The Act under which we work, Chapter 385, 1905, is entitled to suppress the moth. We do not expect to ex- terminate it by present methods, but to keep it suppressed until t : parasites can control it. If Medfield had done nothing for the past four years to suppress the moth, the moth would have increased to such an extent that it would be damaging our trees, and we would have many more colonies like our two badly infested woodland ones.

TREE WARDEN.
The shade-trees of our town are valuable to us in many ways, and add to its desirability as a place of residence. There are many places along our highways where it would be desirable to set out · shade-trees. Last spring we set out a few that were given to the town, and a number were set out in different parts of the town by citizens. Mr. Benjamin Kimball offered the school chil- dren of the town trees, if they would plant and care for them, and many children accepted his offer. It would be well if the town could plant a number every year, but the trees we already have should not be neglected. Many of our trees have dead limbs, which, when they fall, may cause injury. In some places the limbs are so low they interfere with travel. With the amount necessary for proper trimming and the large amount we have to expend fighting insects, it does not seem wise to ask the town to set out trees.
If the citizens would set out trees along the highway, the expense individually would not be great, and it would add to the value of their land and beautify the town.
I have had printed and posted extracts from the shade-tree laws. It is the duty of a citizen to become familiar with these laws. Under these laws the owner of a wood lot or other person, in cutting off woodland, has no right to cut any tre within or on the boundary of a highway without a license from the, warden. Under the lav a tree on the boundary of a public way belongs to the town. I. there is any question as to the limit or boundary of a public way as affecting a tree, under the law as it now is, the tree shall be taken to be within the limits of the highway until the contrary is shown. If owners of wood lots on highways would consult with the warden before cutting, especially where there is some question as to boundary, it would simplify matters for both parties. Where woods are cut off, it is to the advantage of the town to have. a row of trees left for shade.
The past season again proved the need of spraying for the el.n beetle.
I would recommend that the town appropriate six hundred dol- lars for the moth work and four hundred for the Tree Warden and spraying elm beetles. I think it would be advisable to have the Tree Warden and spraying appropriation in one sum.
84
There is some misunderstanding as to the moth law. Under Chapter 381 of 1905, as amended, gypsy and brown-tail moths are declared public nuisances, and the town is required and au- thorized to suppress them. This law does not apply to elm-tree beetles, scale, or other insects, and the Superintendent of Moth Work has nothing to do with them. The Tree Warden may exter- minate insects, elm-tree beetles, scale, etc., on shade-trees, but has nothing to do with private property. The town is required to do the moth work, but the other work is voluntary on her part.

At the last Annual Meeting we recommended an appropriation of $800, which was granted and appropriated. We exceeded the same, as will be seen by our report. The reason for that we trust we may be able to explain satisfactorily. We commenced early in the season to put the cemetery in good condition for decora- tion. Up to that time we had spent nearly $500. From that time to September we spent about $250, leaving about $50 of the ap- propriation to be added to collections from care of lots, interest of Trust Funds, etc., leaving about $290 to take care of the grounds and make what improvements we could for the rest of the season. We then commenced at junction of Prentiss and Wilson Avenues to pave the gutters to the lake, a distance of 550 feet, making 1,100 feet to be paved. We found it necessary to make a fill of about two feet on the avenue for a considerable distance in order to get a grade that would carry the water. Then the question came up where to get the material to make the fill. After looking the matter over, we decided to see Miss Sewall and try to arrange with her for two lots that she owned in the north-west corner of cemetery. We arranged with her for the two lots at $25 each, the regular price of lots in the cemetery, the same to be acted upon at the next annual Town Meeting, and paid for by the town. By taking the gravel from both lots, we were able to make the fill required, and gravel the avenue the whole distance, besides making a nice entrance from Dale Street to cemetery, intersecting with Sewall Avenue, which, we think, was very much needed. And we have one of the lots left very much improved, which will readily sell for cost.
We now have two hills in the cemetery the gutters of which
89
should be paved. Both together would not equal the distance paved this year. Considerable gravelling is needed. We think, an appropriation of $800 this year, would put the cemetery in fair condition, and we respectfully recommend that the sum of $800 be appropriated to be used in the cemetery this year.

CEMETERY TRUST FUNDS, 1910.
In compliance with the vote of the town at the Annual Meeting, March 1, 1909, I submit herewith a statement of the condition of the Cemetery Trust Funds.
I assume that the town is under no obligation to pay com- pound interest on these funds. We are not legally required, nor can it be reasonably expected that the town shall invest and take care of these funds without some recompense. If the unexpended current rate of interest is added to the original fund each year, the intent of the donors will have been complied with, and any sur- plus that accumulates in the form of compound interest the town
90
is fairly entitled to as compensation for the extra labor involved by such care and investments.
