Excerpt from The Grape Curculio It seems to me that this insect has not received the attention from writers upon practical entomology which it deserves It is not mentioned in Farmer's Bulletin, no. 70, of the United States Department of Agriculture, on the insect enemies of the grape, neither can I find it referred to in any of the bulletins of the State Experiment Stations, yet in 1899 it practically destroyed the entire grape crop of both wild and cultivated varieties in Upshur county. In 1900 the injury done was not so serious, yet perhaps one-third Of the grapes were destroyed, and this year it is present again in alarming numbers and already my grapes which were not bagged are ruined. Is this insect not generally distributed or how else can I account for so little being said about it? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
