The extent to which the crops of
the United States are ravaged by in.
se"ts is sc arcely realized by the pub
lie. The subject Is thus referred to
by Q. Arthur Williams in the Success
Mags zine:
THE proceeds from the wheat crop,
the average annual farm value Of
which may be roughly put at s400,.
O00, 900, have In more than one year
been cut down as much IS SO per cent
as a result of the chinch bug and the
hessian fly. King cotton alone was
damaged to the extent Of nearly $780,
600, 900 by the sc-called Mexican boil
weevil In the single state Of Texas in
1903, according to a carefully COM
piled report issued by the census bu.
reeu. The apple crop has been re.
duced as much as Is per cant in many
instances through the operations OF
the codlirg moth and other insects.
So che might go through the entire
list. The burden is distressingly
heavy, but it is safe to assert chat
farmers themselves-Who, obviously,
ought to know as much Of this phase
