Injurious Insects: How to Recognize and Control Them

By W. C. O'KANE

Entomologist of the New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station, and
Professor of Economic Entomology in New Hampshire College

_Illustrated. Cloth, 12mo. $2.00 net._

Complete information on the characteristics, life histories and means
of control of the more common injurious insects, including those
infesting field crops, vegetables, fruits, the principal pests of
domestic animals, stored products and the household, is contained in
this book. A distinctive feature of the work is the illustrations with
which the text throughout is accompanied. These have been made
especially for Dr. O'Kane. With each insect treated he shows in an
original photograph the characteristic injurious stage or the typical
work of the insect where that is characteristic. By this means the
author hopes that the layman will be able to recognize an insect that
threatens by the picture aside from any description in the text.

practices and discoveries as they relate to fruit growing up to date.
All of the text and practically all of the illustrations are new.

Recognizing that it is likely to be used by persons unfamiliar with
sheep, the authors have worked from the standpoint of the producer of
market stock, rather than from the standpoint of the professional
breeder. The various breeds are discussed in such a way as to enable
the reader to select the kind that is most likely to do well under his
conditions and to acquaint him with the care it is accustomed to and
needs. The m
