PEST INFECTED TREES
TO ARRIVE HEBE SOM
Professor Swenk Will Inspect Fruit
Seedling for Harmful Moths.
Trof. Marion N. Swenk, state ento
mologist, has just received a notice
from Washington, D. C, that there is
a shipment of 15,000 French, fruit
seedlings enroute to Nebraska nurser
ies, which will arrive about February
21 or 22. These seedlings are iufested
with gypsy moth or browntail moth.
This is the first time in a number
o! years tliat an importation of these
pests has occurred.
Several members of the entomology
staff will Inspect these trees, in order
to detect either winter nests of the
brown-tailed moth or egg masses of
the gypsy moth. The packing moss,
excelsior, chaff, straw, leaves, paper,
will be carefully removed and burned.
Professor Swenk made the following
statement:
"The brown-tail moth is most likely
to be introduced in the very small
caterpillar stage. In this form it oc
currs hidden away in the winter webs.
These webs are consplcious and read
ily detected, but occasionally the
webs are small and so tucked away in
crotches of branches that they are not
easily seen. A single web passed by
ibe inspector may contain from fifty
ti three or four hundred moths, half
of which are likely to be females, with
ar. egg laying capacity of several
hundred eggs. Once introduced into
a locality, constant vigor is necessary
to control this moth."

'heir two game series. Colgate has
one of the greatest basketball squads
:n the east and have scored a total
of more than five hundred points
-lready this season from their oppo
nents. Colgate Has Strong Team.
Every man on the Colga4e squad
;s an experienced basketball player
fnd the regular team is composed of
"ve men who are known all over the
astern conference for their basket
ball ability. The Colgate crew are
tin a western tour at present asd have
eon winning all of their games with
