Synopsis

Montana Insect Pests for 1927 and 1928 offers a clear view into how state and local authorities join forces to control insect damage in Montana, with practical examples from the Mormon cricket outbreaks of 1927 and 1928. This edition presents the laws, the people behind the program, and the results on farms and crops.

This book explains the rules that guide insect control, how campaigns are organized, and the way savings are measured. It also highlights the role of the State Entomologist, the assistant, and county partners in mounting large-scale actions when needed. Readers will see how parasite discoveries fit into long-term pest management and why timely action matters for crop protection.


  • How state and county laws structure insect-control campaigns and who pays for them.

  • A detailed look at the Mormon cricket outbreaks, the control campaigns, and their outcomes.

  • Descriptions of two cricket parasites and how they influence future pest management.

  • Evidence on cost, implementation, and the measured impact on farm crops.



Ideal for readers of agricultural history, state science programs, and practical pest management interested in early 20th-century Montana.
