The trail blazers . eater than in climates where thecold of winter slays most of the annual horde of crop pests. Hence the paramountimportance of the work of the department of Entomology at the Oregon Agri-cultural College—in protecting domestic animals and fowls, in safeguarding thecrops of the field, and in clearing the orchard of its many destroying insects. The work of the department has been notable for many years, contributingsome of the most effective safeguards to the science of insect control on the PacificCoast. Its investigations of the San Jose scale, tent caterpillars, the codling moth,strawberry root weevil, bud moth, garden slugs, onion thrips, and aphis—to nameonly a conspicuous list of researches—have made positive contributions to the know-ledge of these insects and the methods of controlling them. The department hasalso done constructive work in the study of bee-keeping in Oregon, and is exertinga stimulating influence in fostering all profitable phases of the apiary industry. 42. ?? ? - -* \TJ IA, * WW ?El zr ?
