The Farm Pests of Insect Life: Evidence of Dr. James Fletcher, Entomologist and Botanist, Before the Select Standing Committee on Agriculture and Colonization, 1899 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Farm Pests of Insect Life: Evidence of Dr. James Fletcher, Entomologist and Botanist, Before the Select Standing Committee on Agriculture and Colonization, 1899
At the present time there is probably no insect more in the public mind than the Tent Caterpillar, which is destroying the foliage of large numbers of forest and ornamental trees and also of fruit trees in orchards. This is a well-known insect, and everything that can be known about its life-history is already well-known, as well as the remedies to be used against it. Though it is dificult to get at all, from the insect bein found over large areas and particularly when they attack forest trees, still the p ace where most of the harm is done is in our orchards and I have no hesitation in saying that the damage done by these insects is much more than it should be and would be; if people would only treat the study of injurious insects as they do other lines of business which affect their prosperity.
