LOCAL BOARD PLANS TO DRIVE OUT MOTH Committee Is Appointed By President of the Wilmette Board to Ex- terminate Tussock Moth. ATTACKS THE SHADE TREES Park Board Officials Protect Trees in Their Districts. The Wilmette village board, at its meeting on Tuesday evening, discus- sed plans for the extermination of the Tussock moth, which has been at- tacking the beautiful shade trees in the village with a vengeance. A committee was appointed to re- port plans for a campaign to drive the moth from the trees. Benj. E. Gage and Louis K. Gillson, repre- senting the park board, spoke to the members of the council on the de- structive work of the moth, and out- lined the plans they have made to protect the trees in the park dis- tricts. A picture of the moth and an ar- ticle on the manner in which it works after it has selected a tree, was pub- lished in the issue of The Lake Shore News of last week. The department of agriculture at Washington has prepared an article on the Tussock moth, and the brief reads as fol- lows: How Injurious--Under favorable conditions this insect is capable of in- creasing to enormous numbers and its caterpillars may completely defoliate the shade and park trees of a com- munity. Excepting conifers, it at- tacks almost every variety of trees and especially poplar, soft maple, elm, alder, birch and willow. It is most destructive in cities. It is not abundant every year, being in the meantime kept in check by natural agencies, principally parasitic insects. Evidence of Infestation--I'rom Sep- tember until the following spring; conspicuous, glistening white, frothy- looking egg masses, mostly low down on the trunk of the tree or on the main limbs. In the spring or summer: Leaves]. partly or entirely eaten by caterpil- lars up to over an inch in length with red head, three long black plumes at the extremities of the body and four yellow, brush-like tufts with two red spots behind them on the back. Also cocoons and egg masses on back of trunk, branches and oc- casional leaves in localities where more than one generation is pro- duced annually. Remedies--I. Destroy the eggs in winter, either by hand-picking or scraping them off and burning or by spraying or dabbing them with creo- sote oil mixed with turpentine to keep it liquid in winter. 2. Spray infested foliage as soon ag injury by the caterpillars is no- ticed with lead arsenate. This is a violent stomach poison procurable in most seed stores with directions for use printed on containers. Pick Eggs By Hand. Apparatus--Hand picking or any simple device will do for treatment of the eggs. For spraying purposes a spray pump is necessary and the size of the equipment will vary with the amount of work to be done. A barrel pump mounted on a horse-drawn cart with one or two 50-100 feet leads of gar- den hose and a ten-foot bamboo rod with a spray nozzle at the end will do for a small town. Cities will find advantage in horse or motor-drawn power spray pumps. The catalogues of reliable spray pump manufactur- ers, giving detailed information, are procurable in most sced, pump or hardware stores and should be con- sulted. Concerted Community Action-- Treatment of a tree here and there, now and then, protects no trees, not even those treated. All or most trees must be treated the same season, whether this is done by citizens' in- dividually or as a community organ- ization. EE Ee Business Men Meet.

INVENTOR USES WATER FOR FUEL IN U-BOATS Edward D. Diley Has Invention to Make Divers More Effective.
