Book Description

Excerpt from Second Annual Report of the Entomologist of the State Experiment Station of the University of Minnesota: To the Governor, for the Year 1896 The second annual report of the entomologist of the State Experiment Station of the University of Minnesota respectfully submitted to his Excellency, Governor D. M. Clough, contains an account of some of the work performed during the year 1896. Other work only commenced or part ly finished will be submitted later. There remains for the entomologist the pleasant duty of expressing his sincere thanks to all persons that have aided him in his work but especially so his assistant, Mr. Rufus H. Pettit, who has assisted faithfully in both the laboratory work and the preparation of this report. Most of the illustra tions in it were made by him. Especial thanks are also due to the difl'erent newspapers, who with unfailing courtesy published all articles written for the instruction of the farm ers in regions infested by injurious insects. The Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha, the Great Western, the St. Paul and Duluth, and the Northern Pacific R. R. Companies also deserve thanks for their liberality in furnishing free transportation over their roads whenever such was asked.
