Noxious insects and worms have no more determined enemy in this section than Prof. E. Baur, who says: 'lIt would pay the state of Michigan well, if a popular circular, without much Latin in it, were prepared on noxious insects and the method of preventing their propagation and of destroying them. In other words, he doesn't want learned technical disquisitions on insects designed only for those who have made a study of bug-ology, but one which would reach the common, every-day man, who doesn't care so much what long title a bug may have attached to him, as to how he may proceed to get rid of him. The circular, Prof. Baur desires to have reach everyone who owns a piece of land however small. Individual effort will hardly avail, to rid us of the worm in all our fruit. And all should fight intelligently for its destruction. Charles Treadwell is one or those deserving of much praise for his efforts in destroying the codling moth.
