on once more," says the Springfield
Republican. "The Gypsy Moth Com
mittee of the State Board of Agrlcul

moth was under control when the
policy of extermination was aban
doned. It holds that at present that
abandonment has resulted in im
mense loss and in the impending
danger that everything in the eastern
part of the state will be eaten up
Now comes the mayor of Maiden and
petitions that the work be taken up
once more, and that the state pay
$100,000 for the beginning."
