Every time another moth'is discovered in the state, it means that Iowans are another step closer to experiencing an infestation of the insects, which eat the foliage from nearly 200 kinds of trees. One of the moths' favorites is the oak Iowa's state tree. WHILE ONLY II moths were recovered from nine different locations in Iowa in 1982, the number is almost double from the six found a year earlier, said Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Robert Lounsberry. A single male gypsy moth was trapped in Davenport while three were discovered in a campground in western Scott County, Lounsberry said. The increase in the moths means that in the near future the state may be infested with the insects, which have plagued eastern states for years, said Wayne Messerly, information director for the state department of agriculture.

Messerly said the moths are working their way west from the Great Lakes states and in three years "Iowa may have a big problem." "We're seeing only minute amounts now, but we're concerned that they'll keep A gypsy moth on coming eventually in masses," he said. Messerly said entomologists are currently searching the locations where the moths were captured in an attempt to determine whether infestations actually exist there. He said possible infestations should be detected early so measures can be taken to delay their arrival. "EVENTUALLY they will be here no matter what we do," Messerly said, but delays are essential so further research can be done on the moth. Studies are continuing on ways to control the insect, which has defoliated more than 8 million acres of forest in 12 eastern and Great Lakes states, he said.

Messerly warnings are being issued to travelers to eastern and Great Lakes states to be cautious about transporting back any of the insects to Iowa.

The board's offer of $12,850 on the base pay for the 1983-84 school year was well below the request made by teachers for $13,900 base salary. The board's chief negotiator Ned Barry suggested the board may increase that offer when final figures are available on revenues for next year.
