Abstract
THE official announcement by the Board of Agriculture of the appearance of the Colorado potato beetle swarming in a potato field at Tilbury is a very serious matter, for we have no wish to see another insect pest added to those with which our agriculturists already have to contend. It is satisfactory to know that the Board took instant measures to cause the destruction of all the crops within the infested area; and as the surrounding neighbourhood has since been searched in vain for any further traces of the insect, it is confidently hoped that the measures taken for its timely extirpation have proved successful.
