trolled.
The annual loss OF crops by insect and
mammal pests in the United States
amounts to many millions of dollars.
Moreover, not only Is this loss not dimin-
ishing, but, on the contrary, it is steadily
increasing, partly Is result OF the en-
croachments Of new insect enemies, part
ly from the increase Of both insect and
rodent pests-for the number of these
naturally grows with the extension OF TIL
age-and partly, perhaps mainly, because
of the destruction OF their natural
enemies. These, instead of being per-
mitted to keep pace with the multiplica-
tion Of the pests upon which they feed,
have been destroyed until their numbers
are entirely inadequate to preserve the
balance. 1t is, therefore, OF first import
ance that the farmer and stockman should
everywhere seek to protect and encourage
the natural foes OF injurious mammals
and insects.
