REPORT OF MOTH SUPERINTENDENT AND TREE WARDEN.
TO THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN :
I hereby submit my annual report of the work of the Moth and Tree Warden department.
The work of suppressing the gypsy and brown tail moths has been conducted the past year by using the same methods as usual.
The whole town was scouted for the gypsy moth, the eggs creosoted, trees cleaned and fixed up and sprayed in the proper season. The brown tail nests were cut off and burned. More apple trees were sprayed than usual, the work being done by the department and by contractors and individuals. The results were very satisfactory.
We used the state sprayer for three days in spraying wood land along the highways and some wood lots where the owners stood the expense.
Our winter scouting shows a slight increase in gypsy moth eggs in shade and orchard trees. The infestation is becom- ing more general throughout the woodland although there are still many areas not infected. The moths in shade and orchard trees are not numerous enough to do any damage if they are properly attended to. We have one woodland colony where the oaks have commenced to die, caused by the stripping done by the moths. A number of acres of wood- land were stripped last summer.
We find in the badly infested colonies, especially those that were stripped of leaves last summer, that there are not many new egg clusters. This is the result of the work of the imported calosoma sycophanta, a beetle from Europe and Japan which is being successfully colonized in New Eng- land. These beetles were introduced into Medfield in 1910, and were seen quite frequently last summer. They are in- creasing and spreading throughout the town and we hope
1
51
that they and the numerous parasites that have also been in- troduced in this state will help control the moth in wood- land.
The work of the parasites can be helped by judicious thin- ning of woodland and by removing those trees that are least resistant to moths. This is especially important in pine growth. Some thinning has already been done and more will be done this spring by the owners in co-operation with the State Forestry Department.
While we have a slight increase in the number of egg clusters on orchard and shade trees and a more general in- festation of woodland, yet on account of the small number of clusters found in the bad colonies, there are probably less egg clusters in the whole town than last year.
The United States Department of Agriculture has thirty acres of woodland on Pine Street which it has thinned out and where different questions in relation to the moths are being studied.
There is probably a slight increase in the number of brown tail moths this year over last. In one section of the town where they were very thick last year there are not many this year. In the centre of the town there are probably more.
During the coming year there will probably be an increase in the work to be done. A larger number of apple trees, more shade trees and more woodland adjoining the highways will have to be sprayed.
The street elms with a few exceptions went through the summer in better condition than usual. The elm leaf beetles were not as numerous and the trees evidently did not suffer so much from dry weather as in previous seasons. Every summer lately they have been dropping their leaves all through the season but this year the leaves all stayed on until fall. The trees should therefore be in better condition to stand the winter.
As the weather during the spraying season was very un- favorable for spraying and the beetles were not so plenty and with the extra amount of moth work to do, some elms were not sprayed. Some of these went through the season all right while others were badly eaten. Unless the beetles totally disappear it will probably not be safe to omit the
5%
yearly spraying of the old, large elms, as they are not in a condition to withstand the attack of insects.
The town at the last annual meeting voted $200.00 for the purchase and setting out of shade trees along the street. One hundred Norway maples were purchased and a few maples were taken up about town. These maples were set on the following streets : Main, North, Pleasant, Oak, South, Green, Brook, Miller, Pound and Spring. They all lived during the summer with the exception of one or two that we dug up and did not get a good root system.
The people generally seem well pleased with the action of the town in setting out these trees. Many of our elms and maples are old and are not able to stand as much in the way of disease and insects as younger trees. The elm leaf beetle has sapped the vitality of many of our best elms and they are dying one by one. The dry seasons of the past few years have had a bad effect on elms and maples, and while the maple is very free from the attacks of insects some of the older maples are beginning to die in the tops, evidently the result of insufficient nourishment and moisture. A dry, hot summer stops the growth in a tree, then the fall rains will stimulate a late addition of cells which do not have time to properly harden off before the extreme cold weather sets in. This causes a severe winter, killing of the new cells, resulting in the death of portions of the roots which are thus unable to supply food and moisture to the tree and the tops commence to die. This condition of the tops dying is found in many of our maples.
Some think that it is a waste of money to spend it on our trees. They say the trees have taken care of themselves for centuries and will continue to do so. But times have changed and are changing, and some of these changes are not beneficial to our trees. We are not satisfied with the trees. shrubs and flowers that we have. We must have some of those that grow in foreign countries in Europe, Japan or China. We import foreign trees and shrubs and with them import disease and insect enemies which in their native coun- tries are not fatal as nature has established a balance and created parasites which keep the insects down. The parasite is not imported with the insect or is killed by the sudden
53
change, the insect flourishes in our climate doing great dam- age.
The brown tail moth is an example. It was first brought to this country probably on an importation of roses from Hol- land to Somerville. It is known in Europe as the common caterpillar. The parasites did not come with it or did not survive the sudden change. The people of Somerville were not familiar with it, it was allowed to spread and like many an emigrant it flourishes better than our native born. The gypsy moth, leopard moth, San Jose scale and other insects have been imported in similar ways.
Our trees not only have these new insects to contend with but there are other conditions that are not favorable to the healthy growth of trees. The soil many times is poor and impoverished by constant cropping. Trees need nourish- ment as well as corn or potatoes. Many times the good soil has been removed in grading or gravel, ashes or stone have been used in filling. Our cement sidewalks and tarred roads by shutting out air and moisture are not conducive to the health of trees, especially to the aged ones.
As many of the older trees are dying and will be dying every year it would be good policy for the town to appro- priate two hundred dollars this year for the setting out of trees along our roads. Trees properly set out, not too near together and where they will not interfere with public travel, add greatly to the attractiveness of a town. A street well shaded with maple trees is certainly more attractive and the abutting property would be more valuable than a street with- out trees. We owe a debt of gratitude to those who planted the present shade trees. Should we not continue the work and plant trees to take the places of the old ones that those who come after us may enjoy well shaded streets ?
During the past year we cut down a number of trees that were dead or dying and there will be others to remove the coming season. We have also removed some of the dead wood, taken off limbs that interferred with travel or made the streets dark by shading the electric lights. Many of the younger trees need trimming to give them proper shape. We have also thinned out the growth and cut the bushes on some of the curves on our highways where the growth obstructed
54
the view of the road, and made driving dangerous. There is much of this work remaining to be done.
There are many places along our highway covered with a sprout growth. This growth could be thinned, leaving those trees that would make good shade trees and were moth re- sistant. This would improve the appearance of these high- ways.
Medfield has been visited the last two years by a large number of the apple tree tent caterpillar and last season we also had the forest tent caterpillar which is not a very familiar visitor. As not much was done for these insects they stripped many of the apple and wild cherry. Their eggs are very abundant at this time and they will probably be very plenty the coming spring. Fortunately these insects are native and have their parasites. Their parasites will soon check them and they will practically disappear.
The wild cherry is very abundant along our roadsides and in the fields. These trees are of no value whatever, but are the favorite breeding place of the tent caterpillar. If these were cut down it would be easier to keep the tent caterpillar down. The wild cherry is also infected with the black knot which spreads from it to the cultivated cherry and plum. The brown tail also is very fond of the cherry. This depart- ment has cut many of the wild cherry along the road and should do more the coming season, but the work would do more good if it were supplemented by property owners re- moving all wild cherry on their land. They would probably find it cheaper to cut the trees than to pay the town men for removing the brown tails from them.
I would recomemnd that the town appropriate eight hun- dred dollars for moth work and seven hundred dollars for the Tree Warden, two hundred of the latter to be used in planting trees.
I wish, at this time, to acknowledge the gift of fifteen dollars and the labor of men and team by Mr. Benjamin Kimball toward the pruning of the shade trees on the south- erly end of South Street.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS.
TO THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN :
I hereby submit to you the following report of my work as Inspector of Animals for the past year.
In January, 1913, orders were received as usual from the Commissioner of the Department of Animal Industry to make a complete inspection of all neat cattle, sheep, goats and swine and their stables in which they are kept.
This inspection had to be made between Feb. 1st and March 15, 1913.
During this inspection 67 stables were visited and 565 cattle, 422 swine, four sheep and two goats were examined, and most all stables were found in better condition than usual, although some will have to be improved in order to keep up with the sanitary conditions of the State Board of Health and the Department of Animal Industry.
During this inspection three cows were placed in quaran- tine under suspicion of having tuberculosis; these cows were examined by an agent of the Department of Animal Industry, two of these were released but the other one was killed and stable disinfected.
March 30, 1913, one cow quarantined, April 26, two cows quarantined and May 15, one cow quarantined, all under suspicion of having tuberculosis ; these cattle were all exam- ined by an agent of the Department of Animal Industry, found to be tuberculous, killed and their stables disinfected.
December 27, a bull was quarantined under suspicion of having tuberculosis, examined by an agent of the Department of Animal Industry, found tuberculous, killed and stable disinfected.
Jan. 27, 1914, a horse was placed in quarantine under suspicion of having glanders, examined by an agent of the Department of Animal Industry, but was released.
59
Oct. 29, 1913, a new law came into effect as follows: Any person importing or bringing into this state any horses, asses or mules from the states of New York, Connecticut, or Rhode Island shall immediately upon the arrival of the same notify the Inspector of Animals of their respective town ; also to get a permit from the Commissioner of the Department of Ani- mal Industry before shipment.
Respectfully yours,
GEO. S. CHENEY, Inspector of Animals.

We think the cemetery is now in very good condition and we would like very much to maintain same, together with making further improvements. The fences need consider- able repairing and some should be renewed, some of the paths and avenues need a little more gravel and there are a few dead trees which should be replaced.
We would respectfully recommend the appropriation of $800.00 to be used in the cemetery this coming year.
