The Agricultural Experiment Sta

agricultural portion Of the state. 1t
ma issued the first Of a series Of
bulletins that are TO appear from

curious insects Of Maryland. As a
rule the average farmer fails 10
realize the full extent of the in ury
that ne sustains from the noxious iu-
sectS that alta X his crops. The
bulletins describe in language that
can he comprehended BY anyone the
life history Of the insects, gives the
various remedial measures that NAV
be employed. describes natural enc
mics. and thus puts the farmer in a
way to combat and overcome these
natural enemies if he is so disposed.
This i a step in the right direction
as ii is rarely the case that farmers
are So familiar with economic ento-
mOlOgy As to be able TO understand
fully what the insect visitors are all
doing, whether they are working for

object Of these bulletins is to treat OF
those insects which affect most serj-
ously the farmer and fruit grower.
