Octavo, paperbound (stiff green wrappers), xiv + 205 p. Very Good, with sunned spine & former-owner stamps. From Foreword: The objective of the project on plant and animal pest control was to outline, for each of the several classes of pests, the principles of control where these are established; to call attention to effective procedures where true principles are not yet established; and to indicate areas of research that appear to warrant early attention.It is hoped that these reports will be useful to researchers at all levels, to pest-control agencies, to administrators seeking guidance on priorities for application of resources, and to general field workers in the United States and elsewhere.
