Excerpt from Insects and Other Pests Attacking Agricultural Crops This circular replaces those portions of Circular 265, Plant Disease and Pest Control, which deal particularly with insects, mites, and related animals, attacking agricultural crops in California. There are more ample publications on some of the subjects. A number of Experiment Station publications treating single insects or groups of insect pests are available and may be selected from a list of publications sent upon request by the College of Agriculture, Berkeley, California.3 Consulta tions, publications, and other services of the College of Agriculture are free as far as possible.

Excerpt from Insect Pests of Farm, Garden and Orchard The edition of the writer's Insects Injurious to Staple Crops, first published ten years ago, having been exhausted, the publishers requested a revision. It was found, however, that the advances in economic entomology during the past decade were such that it was necessary practically to rewrite the book. At the time it was first published two other books were projected; one to deal with the insects affecting garden crops, and the other to discuss those affecting fruits. Pressure of regular work pre vented the author from completing the manuscript for these works and in 1907 Dr. Chittenden issued his excellent book on Insects Injurious to Vegetables, so that there seemed to be no immediate demand for another volume on that subject. At the same time two other well-known entomologists were work ing upon books which would cover fruit insects, so that the writer abandoned the field to them. Subsequently, the work of one of these friends was cut short by his sudden death, and the other abandoned the task, at least for the present. Under these circumstances, it seemed that there was a distinct place for a book to cover all the insects affecting the crops of farm, garden and orchard, and having leisure to devote to it, the author developed the work in its present form.

Excerpt from Insects Attacking the Potato Crop in Connecticut Cutworms, wireworms, blister beetles, white gru'bs and the stalk borer all take an occasional tell from the harvest of the farmer. Then in some localities in certain seasons sucking insects, especially aphids, may attack and seriously injure the cr0p as was the case in 1917 and 1918.

Excerpt from Insect Pests and Plant Diseases: Containing Remedies and Suggestions Recommended for Adoption by Farmers, Fruit-Growers, and Gardeners of the Province There is probably no one general method by which the farmer or fruit-grower can do more to protect his crops from insect injury than by clean culture. A large proportion of injurious insects pass the winter under rubbish of many sorts, and the burning of this will destroy them. It is a safe rule, whenever a crop is gathered, to clear off the remnant-s and destroy them as completely as possible. In orchards this recommendation is Of special value. In dead wood on the trees, or on the ground, many species hide or complete their development during the winter. Every dead branch or twig should be cut, and with other rubbish taken out and burned. Loose' bark is of little or no value to a tree, while it affords shelter to many hibernating species. Never leave an Old wood-pile near an orchard. Many insects breed preferably in dead wood, but when it becomes too dry or rotten, they have a sharp instinct that enables them to discover a weak or sickly tree, and this they may attack and ruin, where otherwise it might recover. Fallen or diseased fruit should always be destroyed or fed to hogs. Field and orchard should contain, as nearly as possible, nothing save the crop, and certainly neither rubbish nor remnants. For field crops, a thorough system of crop rotation prevents the multiplication of many insect pests and plant diseases. It is a well established general rule that plants or trees are better able to resist insect attack when in a thrifty growing condition than when weak in vitality; consequently, such fertilisation as will bring about the healthiest growth is desirable. It has long been Observed that some varieties of fruits, vegetables and grains are more subject to insect attacks than others. Consequently, other things being equal, it is advisable to select such varieties for planting. Of mechanical methods, the simplest way of dealing with many insects, is to pick them off by hand; in the garden and home grounds, caterpillars of most kinds may be easily dealt with so, or their nests destroyed, in the case of those having such.

Excerpt from Insect Pests of the Lesser Antilles The insects which attack growing crops may be grouped in three main divisions, according to their manner of feeding, or their habit of living. These are leaf-eating, sucking, and boring. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Greenhouse Pests: A Manual of Practice in the Control of Insects and Other Pests Attacking Ornamental Plants and Flowers Grown Under Glass in Illinois In the state as a whole, the total damage done by insects and other injurious forms of animal life is estimated at present to range from 10% to 25% of the value of all the flowers and Ornamentals grown under glass. Assuming 1570 as a fair average reduction, we can safely say that the annual crop would be worth more than it is now if the industry did not have to pay tribute to these pests. No crop is without its pests, and some have a dozen or more, so that the grower must be on his guard day and night through the grow ing season and even throughout, the year, in order to prevent all his profits from being literally eaten Up by one or another of these insidious enemies. Now the roots are attacked, now the stems and leaves, and now the flowers themselves. Sometimes only a few plants may be injured; again a whole crop may be wiped out. It is probably true that no single operation in the greenhouse yields as large returns as that which checks the depredations of insects, since any one of the major pests would be able to destroy a crop, commercially, before it could be matured if no control measures were applied.

Excerpt from Insects Attacking Squash, Cucumber, and Allied Plants in Connecticut A paper on this subject was published in the report of this Station for 1908, page 805, but it has long been out of print. The present paper follows the plan Of the earlier one, but has been revised, enlarged, and wholly rewritten, and is published in this form so that the information can lie placed in the hands of truck crop growers throughout the state. For the past five years, cucurbitaceous plants have been grown each year at the Station farm at Mount Carmel for the purpose of studying the insects attacking them and methods of control. Consequently this paper is more than a compilation, and embodies the results of our own experiments and experience. Cucumbers, squashes, pumpkins and melons are grown rather extensively in Connecticut, and are attacked and Often severely injured by a number of insect pests. For the hasty identification of these insects the reader is referred to the following key revised from the earlier paper mentioned above.
