During the months of May and June, 1927, I was stationed with the gipsy moth scouts at Henrysburg, near Lacolle, P. Q. In connection with the control measures for this pest the trees in the infested area were banded with burlap. The bands were attached to the trees in the following way:—a strip of burlap about 7 inches wide was placed loosely around the trunk of the tree at a height of 5 feet from the ground. This was tied in place by a piece of twine passed around its centre. After this had been done the upper part of the burlap was folded down so that a double layer hung from the twine. It thus offered an excellent hiding place for insects during the day.
