(or checking the apple maggot. Both of these aie somewhat recent developments 

 and may not have become sufficiently established before the forms for these par- 

 ticular chapters were closed. The volume bears the date of 1921 and although 

 the preface is dated May 1920, it would have been desirable, in the opinion of the 

 reviewer, to have included a brief statement of the noteworthy extensions of infest- 

 ed territory by both European Com Borer and Gipsy Moth known by mid-summer 

 1920. A study of a general infestation by wheat midge leads the reviewer to 

 place little dependence on the remedial measiires outlined for this insect, tho 

 these are based upon well accepted literature of the past and at the present time 

 nothing very definite can be advised. 



The earlier edition was a most excellent and exceedingly helpful digest of the 

 then known entomological facts. This revision with its greatly increased number 

 of illustrations, is destined to be the most convenient and reliable, general work 

 for some years to come. It will be exceedingly serviceable to both Entomologists 

 and Agriculturists and should be available to all interested in the control of the num- 

 erous insects affecting the varied crops of America.
