Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of Observations of Injurious Insects and Common Farm Pests During the Year 1886, Vol. 10: With Methods of Prevention and Remedy
In the above mention of skilled assistance a portion does not bear on the present Report; but I have thought it a duty not only of courtesy, but to those who do me the honour to apply to me, to mention that for information as to such extra-british crop-attacks as it is requisite I should attend to, I am favoured with means of acquiring the requisite information.
To the Agricultural Press I am greatly indebted for prompt and cordial cc-operation, and tender my best thanks.
Many of the illustrations in the present Report have not previously appeared; some are drawn from life by myself, and some of the others are figures from Curtis's Farm Insects, ' for the use of which, as well as of those from the same work which have previously appeared, I offer my acknowledgments to Messrs. Blackie and Son, Glasgow.
In the coming year any information regarding crop-pests, - and especially regarding Hessian Fly, - will be acceptable, including in this information as to its presence, specimens in any stage, information as to ?ax-seeds being found on imported straw, observations of attack at localities to which imported straw has been conveyed as fodder or bedding, or as litter or long manure.
