Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Curculio Investigations
Late in June Professor 0. S. Crandall suggested that I should go to Barry, where the Experiment Station had undertaken quite extensive work upon the curculios and where these insects were much more abundant than they were at Champaign, in order that I might gather some information also for the Depar ment of Horticulture. After due consideration, I decided to co - operate with the above mentioned Department, made preparations to leave the work at the Station in charge of Mr. R. B. Howe, and went to Barry on June 29th. Practically all the work upon the habits and life histories of the insects was made at that place. Not being able to get to Barry sooner than the above date, I was unable to make as detailed notes as I would have wished; nevertheless, there was no lack for things to do and from.stert to finish there was interest and suggestiveness in every detail. Many of the questions suggested, I sought to answer; but many were left untouched and still offer an opportunity for a great amount of careful investigation.
