Excerpt from Report of the Entomologist and Botanist, 1899Subjects requiring special attention since I last reported were the following the hessian fly. - A serious outbreak in Manitoba.The rocky mountain locust. - This insect again appeared in some numbers in southern Manitoba, but was not the cause of an appreciable diminution in the crops. The exceptionally wet and late season in Manitoba during the past summer was unfavourable for its early development and spread, and the farmers, having been stirred up to an appreciation of the danger of allowing this insect to remain undisturbed, ploughed down the greater part of the stubbles this autumn, thus burying the eggs too deeply for the young to emerge next spring.The destructive pea Arms - One of the most notable outbreaks of the year was by a plant-louse which has been given the above name but which before this year was unknown.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
