What reading level is A Treatise On Some of the Insects of New England Which Are Injurious to Vegetation book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
These may prevent wire- worms (luli) and some insects from destroying the seed; but cut-worms prey only on the sprouts and young stalks, and do not eat the seeds. Such stimulating applications may be of some benefit, by promoting a more rapid and vigorous growth of the grain, by which means the sprouts will the sooner be- come so strong and rank as to resist or escape the attacks of the young cut-worms. Fall-ploughing of sward-lands, which are intended to be sown with wheat or planted with corn... the year following, will turn up and expose the insects to the inclemency of winter, whereby many of them will be killed, and will also bring them within reach of insect-eating birds.
But this seems to be a doubtful remedy, against which many objections have been urged.* The only effectual remedy at present known, has been humorously described by Mr. Asahel Foote in the " Albany Cultivator," and reprinted in the seven- teenth volume of the " New England Farmer." After having lost more than a tenth part of the corn in his field, he " ordered his men to prepare for war, to sharpen their finger ends, and set at once about exhuming the marauders.
