Forest Grove, Ore The Value of the Skunk to Agriculture The skunk, which is represent ed throughout the country by a number of varieties, general and species, is an anjmal oi great conomic importance. Its food consists very largely of insects, mainly of those Bpecies which are very destructive to garaen and forage crops. , Field observa tions and laboratory examina tion demonstrate that they de stroy immense numbers of white grubs, grasshoppers, crickets, cutworms, hornets, wasps, and other noxious forms. The alarm ing increase of the white grub in some localities is largely due to the extermination of this valu able animal. , . , Prompt Subscribers N. P.
