REPORT OF THE GYPSY AND BROWN TAIL MOTH DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Sirs: I have the honor to submit for your approval the operations carried on by this department against the gypsy moth and other leaf eating insects for the fiscal year ending Dec. 31, 1927. The manner of conducting our operations during the past year has not differed materially from that of former years.
It has been my aim to employ only those methods which previous years' experience has shown to be most effective, keeping in mind at all times the necessity of practicing wise economy. I am pleased to report that, broadly speaking, the condition of this town in regard to the gypsy moth shows a decrease in the number of nests in the badly infested areas reported last year.
In regard to the brown tail moth and the elm leaf beetle they are practically extinct, but within a few miles of our Town they are very abundant.
One of our native pests which is the cause of great an- noyance is the tent caterpillar. Nearly every year it is found in more or less abundance in various sections of the town and many residents mistake them for the brown tail moth. The past year we had a bad outbreak of this insect. Its favorite food is the wild cherry which is found growing along the road- sides and in vacant lots and I would advise this coming year of cutting all brush on our back streets and the wild cherry in woodlands owned by the Town. This method in conjunction with spraying vacant lots is the best method of control. Another insect that has been very numerous in certain sections of the Town, especially where the Poplar and Willow are
162

GYPSY AND BROWN TAIL MOTH DEPARTMENT
abundant, is the Satin Moth. The full grown caterpillars are about one and one-half inches in length and of a yellowish color with prominent white blotches on the back. Their favorite food is the Poplar and the Willow and they have been known to attack the oaks and there is a danger that if it should become firmly established it might prove a menace to other valuable shade or forest trees. The best method of controlling this insect is by spraying.
During the year all moth nests were treated and all shade trees sprayed. Thousands of the fall web worm were removed from willows in rear of Cemetery. Over nine hundred dollars' worth of private work was done which the Town will be re- imbursed for.
In closing, I wish to thank your board for their confidence and the property owners for their support and co-operation. The following is a statement of the nature of work performed and expenses.
