Book excerpt: Excerpt from Important Notes on the Gypsy and Brown-Tail Moths As will be noted later, this appropriation will not be sufficient to exterminate the insect; but there is every hope that the State, having taken hold of the matter, will, with the assistance perhaps of the city and national government, carry the fight to a finish. There is also hope that the insect can be exterminated in this State if a reasonable time is allowed and necessary means are provided. This circular will contain an outline of the work as now organized, and also short descriptions of both insects to help the people of the State to identify them when they appear. Fuller accounts of the insects and the work against them will be given in a report to be issued later. We hope that all concerned will give a hearty co-opera tion in the work and help speed it to the desired termination.
