Book Description

Excerpt from Destructive Locusts: A Popular Consideration of a Few of the More Injurious Locusts (or "Grasshoppers") Of the United States, Together With the Best Means of Destroying Them For a number of years the First and Second Reports of the United States Entomological Commission, which contained the results of the labors of the commission upon the Rocky Mountain Locust, have been out of print, and yet with every renewed alarm caused by locusts there has been a great demand upon this Division for information, which could only be supplied by correspondence or by publishing the infer mation in local newspapers. For a time the demand was filled by sup plying the Annual Report of this Department for 1877, which con tained bodily the chapters upon remedies from the first commission report. The supply of this document was also seen exhausted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
