Abstract
SLOWLY but surely the public mind is awakening to the fact that the knowledge that has been obtained through long years of study and observation upon the life-history and habits of animals of all kinds that are injurious to crops is of real importance, and is likely during the next few months to be brought home very vividly even to the most casual. Scientific workers have for long pointed out that all facts hitherto unknown elicited from Nature were of value. Prof. Tyndall nearly fifty years ago told us to keep our sympathetic eye upon the originator of knowledge, but until quite recently such advice has been ignored, if not openly flouted.
