Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eighteenth Report, State Entomologist of Minnesota: To the Governor In compliance with the law I have the honor to present herewith a report on the activities of the State Entomologist for the year ending December 1, 1920. Our three funds, the state entomologist fund, the nursery inspec tion fund, and the special fund for white pine blister rust would indi cate that the work is organized along certain very definite lines. As a matter of fact the work -as planned this year is very closely knit to gether. The men in the field, whether in nurseries, on farms, or in the forest, were constantly on the lookout for plant pests, barberries, and a special disease of white pine. Close cooperation was effected with the Division of Plant Pathology and Botany, at University Farm, in the matter of plant diseases and barberry eradication; with the United States Department of Agriculture on barberry eradication and the white pine blister rust survey, and with the state forester 011 Ribes (eradication. In reporting this work, the principal subjects of interest will be briefly outlined. Inspection of nurseries - The nursery business in Minnesota con tinnes to increase. The older firms are enlarging their business and new firms are starting. It must be remembered that all our cultivated flowers; shrubs. And trees-come from this source. \/vith the constantly increasing demand for such material it is well to bear in mind the necessity for keeping such stock in a perfect condition. Our depart ment, therefore, is to be regarded as the Health Bureau of the plant industry of the state. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
