Gypsy Moth and Dutch Elm Disease Report
During the spring of '53 all road side elms, oaks and maples were sprayed for the control of the Elm Tree beetles and Gypsy Moths. 39 samples from trees suspected of having the Dutch Elm Disease were taken and sent to the University of Massachusetts for testing. 37 of these were found diseased. They have been cut and burnt along with 29 other dead elms. The Town was assisted in this work by District Supt. Grover Twiss and the State group of tree cutters who removed 3 very large trees and 6 smaller ones at a savings to the Town of Wilbraham of $700.00. The Town also received $200.00 reimbursement from the County for work done in removing trees that required expert climbers.
4,428 Gypsy Moth egg clusters were found and destroyed. The largest colony of 759 clusters was in a stone wall on the farm of Mrs. Stokosa of Three Rivers Road. This seems to indicate that the moths are traveling south from the heavily infested area north of us.
