Book excerpt: Excerpt from Montana Insect Pests, 1941 and 1942: Twenty-Ninth Report of the State Entomologist; December, 1942 The insect pests which plague the rancher and farmer in Mon tana present an ever-changing picture. This is true for at least two reasons. First, the pests of importance are likely to change from year to year, the dry years having their more or less typical com plex of injurious forms, and the wet years reducing some of them and making conditions favorable for a new group; further, new pests are appearing in the State bringing with them new problems. Second, in the light of new research findings better control meth ods are being developed, both in Montana and outside of the State, which necessitate the constant inspection and revision of the ap proved methods of control. The control of grasshoppers and Mor mon crickets is a good example of this. The last decade has seen many advances in our methods of attacking these problems. Sur vey methods have been developed and refined, bait formulae have been improved and reduced in cost, and the mechanics of mixing and spreading baits have taken great strides forward, largely through the efforts of the United States Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine. The main efforts of this office have been directed toward the control of the major pests, either through the administration of field control campaigns, or through the preparation of circulars describing approved methods of insect control. More than 300 inquiries on the control of a great variety of harmful animals are received and answered annually. During the past year 44 single-page pamphlets, many of them illustrated, were prepared by this office and published by the Montana Extension Service. These circulars, Series A, Nos. 1 to 44, are available from County Agents or from the Montana Ex tension Service, -bozeman, Montana. Over a period of years the involved states in cooperation with the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine have developed a good organization for the large-scale control of regional insects of migratory habits. Control operations in Montana, under the joint direction of the State Entomologist's Office and this Bureau.
