tNroMoLoaY AS A CAREER


We study Of Insects Is Becoming Very
Important Business.
Economic entomology is that branch
81 the science which, looking beyond
the mere collection and classification
Of insects, has TO do with the control
Of those which injuriously affect agri.
cultural products It's Importance is
shown by the fact that its bibliographv
hlls volume of four hundred and ffty
pages, while the Association of Eco
homic Entomologists number some
siNtyactive,members. That the achieve
ments of its students or professors are
remarkable is shown by the statement
made in recent address by the do
minion entomologist Of Canada that a
saving of four hundred thousand dol
lars worth of agricultural products
was made in North Dakota and Mime
,ota during 1891 by the adoption of GER
tain measures recommended to farmers
by official entomologists.
Entomology as a hobby is now wide
ly pursued by young people and no de
partnent of natural history is more at
tractive, says the Youths Companion.
But the biologic study of insects.
though Of the first Importance to the
economic entomologist, is to him only
the first step
The life history OF a given pest
known, he aims TO devise some means
to control IL. Some of the achievements
in this line are, in general way, well
known,

our apples, is readily controlled by

many other pests of the farmer and
| fruit-grOwer. But, as Prof, Riley esti-
mates that one-tenth of our agricul-
tural products is annually ruined by
! insects it is evident that plenty of
week remains to be done in this direc-
tion.
The total annual loss from insects in
| the United States is placed by the best
chronological authorities at ABOUT
! $3.50, 600, 600. As the entomologists of
the various state agricultural expert
ment stations and of the national de-
| partment of agriculture pursue their
Investigations further this enormous
loss will be greatly reduced.
When their labors become better
known and appreciated their oppor-
tunities for work, as well as the means
at their disposal, viii be increased.
! Many more hands and brains will be
needed TO do the worl; and young men
md women trained in entomology will
be called for as assistants.
Most OF the states have now estab-
lished agricultural experiment stations
and at the majority of these an entomol-
ogist is busily at work on his speciality.
Some of the agricultural colleges give
courses in economic entomology, and
as the farmers learn to better appreci-
ate its money value to them they will
devote more and more time to its study.
The implements needed for the col
lection and study of insects are few
and Inexpensive.
