Laughlin, Chatham, The Spruce Bud Worm is reported as having done consider- able damage in the province of New Brunswick and during the present years its ravages have supassed anything previously re- ported. Loggers state that there was no evident sign of the worm in the Tabucintao watershed last year, but this summer the stand in places had the appearance of being fire swept. On investigation it was found that the last five years' growth of the trees affected had been suppresed, so much so, in fact, that the total growth for these five years was no more than the one year's growth just previous. This seems to bp sufficient evidence to prove that the bud worm has been aflfecting the timber for the last five years, and, no doubt, gradually increasing in number and its ravages increasing in proportion. Balsam Fire has suffered the most. In the areas affected this tree has been absolutely denuded and there is very little or no chance for its recovery. This is more especially true in areas where fir has been left standing after logging. Black Spruce has been damaged to considerable extent too but not so much as the Fir. In mixed stands of Black Spruce and Fire the worm seemed to attack the Fir in preference to the spruce. But in the pure stands of Black Spruce the tree has been greatly damaged. Some of the younger trees have been entirely denuded and will not recover. The larger, sturdier trees are still green, though the terminals of the branc
