Description:Excerpt from The Lancaster Farmer, a Monthly Newspaper, 1875, Vol. 7: Devoted to Agriculture and Horticulture, Practical Entomology, Domestic Economy and General Miscellany We propose, then, to give them all the infor mation we can, on any specified subject, when proper application is made. It would be almost useless to volunteer general principles or scientific theories on the subject of ento mology. People want scientific knowledge. For instance, when they find a certain insect depredating upon their crops or industrial productions, they want to know what it is, something about its transformations, habits, history, peculiarities, local characteristics and the proper remedies for its destruction, as well as when and how to apply the remedies. Now, as it is dimcult for a novice to describe an insect plainly enough to be clearly under stood, and as such a description might involve more time and labor that could be immediately bestowed upon it and moreover as the indi vidual who desires the information may not possess the necessary books, nor have access to a library containing them, it is clear that some shorter and more practical plan must be adopted. A proper application can be made by mail, enclosing specimens of the noxious insect, carefully secured against death or injury, together with a few lines describing the nature of its depredations, on what vege table it has been found, what it had been doing, as well as the time and place it was found. And what is of equal or greater im portance to the editor, not only the postage on the communication should be paid, (it would not be forwarded if it is not) but it should either contain a three cent stamp or a postal card, to insure an immediate reply. This, however, is only necessary with those who are not regular subscribers to The Farmer, through the columns of which all questions will be answered, so far as they can be. Our reasons for this course are obvious, and will be regarded as valid by the liberal-minded. In good truth, we cannot afford to write a specific reply and furnish paper and envelopes, and pay the return postage into the bargain itis not in equity. On a single letter the post age would be. A tri e, but our correspondents should remember that we receive many such letters in a month, and to answer them all, individually, would be a greater burden than even-handed justice requires us to bear. By answering correspondents through the col umns of our journal information becomes more diffused than it otherwise could be, for other persons than the ones immediately addressing us may be interested in the veur same insects. This will inculcate habits of more minute observation than usually obtains among farmers in general - a thing much needed - and will suggest experimentation in their destruction or removal. The time seems to be surely ap proaching when our agricultural population will be compelled to give more patient and per severing heed to this question than they have heretofore been in the habit of doing. Our plan is cc-operative and equitable in its special effects, and ought to meet the approval of those interested.
