Excerpt from Reports of Observations and Experiments in the Practical Work of the Division: Made Under the Direction of the Entomologist
In addition to my observations on the general insect depreciations within the State, I have incidentally given some time to the study of such insects as were taken upon the sugar and other beets during the summer.
This special study was undertaken at the suggestion of our experiment station director, who was quite anxious that beet insects should be made the subject of a special bulletin to be issued from the station some time during the coming winter.
