Synopsis
Excerpt from Principal Insect Enemies of the Sugar Beet: In the Territories Served by the Great Western Sugar Company
Some damage is done by some pest somewhere every year, causing some loss to individual farmers. Fortunately, we have been free so far from' pests damaging very large areas in any one year, and it is confidently hoped that this will always be the case in the territory served by this Com pany. Nevertheless, it seems wise to have on hand all the information necessary to enable growers to apply proper measures in case of emergency.
There are available a number of bulletins and books published by the Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Colleges and others, dealing with insect pests damaging to sugar beets, but it has been thought of interest and value to beet growers to have this information presented in one book and with due regard to local conditions.
While it is hoped that this Bulletin will be of valuable assistance to the grower of sugar beets by presenting the best known methods of pre venting injury and controlling insects which damage this crop, it seems desirable to impress upon him the fact that there is no magical method, no patent medicine, which can be quickly and easily applied.
