Connecticut State Entomologist Thirty Seventh Report 1937 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Connecticut State Entomologist, Thirty-Third Report, 1933 Linn, in woodland in Wolcott, required much time and attention in scout ing and spraying. In July, just after the spraying season had ended, a large infestation was discovered near Groton Long Point where nearly 30 acres of oak and maple woodland were stripped. Here the number of egg-clusters will run into hundreds of thousands and the place is now being cleaned. One of the most outstanding entomological events of the season has been the opportunity to take advantage of help from the United States Government in forest insect control by appropriations to furnish work for the unemployed through the Civilian Conservation Corps Camps, the Public Works Administration, and the Civil Works Administration. Weeviled white pine tips over large areas in state forests were cut and burned between June 25 and August 15. Considerable scouting has been done for gipsy moth, and red and Scotch pine tips infested with Euro pean pine shoot moth have been Clipped off and burned. More of this work will be done during the next few months. An insect pest survey of the season is given on the following pages, arranged in brief form' to save Space and expense in printing. Some of the more important items are treated in greater detail in the separate articles and notes printed elsewhere in this report.
