Excerpt from Report of the State Board of Agriculture on the Work of Extermination of the Gypsy Moth: January, 1893 Much effort, involving a large expenditure, has been devoted to the inspection of territory outside the infested limit. Numerous letters have been received from different parts of the State and from adjoining States, to the effect that supposed gypsy moths had been found. These notices have in all cases led to an inspection of the suspected locality. The towns just outside those infested have also received some attention, but in no case has the gypsy moth been found outside of the limits reported last year.

Excerpt from Report of the State Board of Agriculture on the Work of Extermination of the Gypsy Moth: January 1897 On the first of January, 1896, there remained unexpended, Of the appropriation Of 1895, This was retained with the expectation that the sum would be sufficient to maintain the reduced force Of 121 men to continue such work as could be done during suitable winter weather until the Legislature should make an appropriation for the season's work. 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.
