NEW PEST ATTACKS TREES Maryland Forestry Officials See Dry Weather as a Cause. Special Dispatch to The Star BALTIMORE, August 29.—The foliage of shade and forest trees in Maryland is being attacked by another insect pest, the hyphauteria cunea according to State forestry officials. Nearly a dozen other varieties of tree pests have made their appearance in this section within the past few months, it was said. Dry weather during the Spring and early Summer was said to be favorable to propagation of the insects and caterpillars. The new tree pest also is known as the Fall web worm, according to Assistant Pfeiffer. It is so named because it appears in the late Summer or Autumn and spins spiderlike webs around infested parts of trees.
