The tomato fruitworm (Heliothis zea (Boddie) is the most serious pest of tomatoes in the United States, particularly in the southern half of the country where it does some damage every season. This insect is also injurious to beans, cabbage, lettuce, pepper, tobacco, and other cultivated crops, and is one of the most, if not the most, destructive pest to agricultural crops in the country. Interest in improvement of methods for the control of this insect on tomatoes was accelerated in 1935 by the finding of worm fragments in canned products, which were subsequently seized and destroyed as contaminated foods by the United States Food and Drug Administration. Studies on the seasonal history and control of the tomato fruitworm on tomatoes were conducted in southern California, Utah, and Ohio beginning in 1936. This bulletin reports some of the major findings. Most of the data are from the California experiments; results from Utah and Ohio are so indicated.

An intimate memoir and a recounting of the exciting coalescence of a vibrant and extraordinary community. Joe Wilcox documents from its beginnings, the formation of an unwitting community that demonstrates the enormous power of bringing together outsiders into a space of celebration-and in the process, explores the insights of creating deeply connected relationships that formed in the process. Wilcox fully examines the core idea of weaving connections in the structure of crafting communities. Stumbling into becoming a knitter in his twenties and following his history of participating in various groups and communities is something that is surprisingly relatable for anyone that may have felt like an outsider or yearned to be part of a larger community of one's own. The pursuit of joy and pride in accomplishment and in bringing together a magical community of like-minded outsiders makes for a fascinating journey. Joe Wilcox, is a lifelong knitter, who has blogged about where this journey has taken him for over two decades. He has also written the ultimate design for knitting together a most amazing community.
