Use Insects in Moth Fight

Two Massachusetts Towns Receiyo Flies and Beetles to Release /*••' •Tn "Trees. ‘ Dedham, Mass. —The state in its plan of assisting the various towns to exterminate the gipsy and moth has sent to Dedham 1,000 anaspatus flies and 200 calosoma beetles. These flies and beetles, bred at Meirose Heights, are distributed in infected sections. They live on the uiotlis and caterpillars and wherever

tried they have done good work in exterminating the pests. They were delivered the other day to George A. Phillips, town tree warden, by John Schaffner of Dover. A similar amount was delivered to C. H. Southerland of Westwood, who has charge of the work in that town. Silence has the advantage over speech in that you never have to take it back. o . ' • i\
