LOSSES CAUSED BY DESTRUCTIVE INSECTS

Extract

In the May number of The Century, Vol. L., No. 1, p. 89, 1895, there is recorded an item of interest to economic entomologists that is liable to be overlooked and lost, although it deserves a better fate. In an article by Mr. William E. Smythe, on “The Conquest of Arid America,” there is given a carefully-compiled table of all of the expenditures of “the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints” in Utah, the figures being furnished, at the author's request, by Mr. A. Milton Musser, Church historian, and by him submitted to the inspection of the Presidents and Bishops of the Church, prior to publication.
