The work of ridding the trees on the University grounds of gypsy and brown-tail moths has occupied five men during the past seven months and has cost about $600. Twenty-five bushels of brown-tail moth nests have been cut from the trees and burned. These nests were found in large numbers near the University Museum. The nests of the gypsy moth were painted with creosote. These were numerous in the Yard and were found even on the walls of the buildings.
Although the trees on the University grounds are cleared of moth nests each year, the nests reappear in large numbers and it seems that this annual expense must be incurred indefinitely. No permanent harm is done if the trees are carefully watched.
