In January, February and the first half Of March much effective work was done in the way of destroying the eggs of the moth upon the trees, cutting and burning worth less, decayed, infested trees and underbrush, and preparing infested localities for the summer's work. As the season wore on and most of the appropriation became exhausted, it was found necessary to further reduce the number Of men employed, thus greatly handicapping the effectiveness of the work.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
