About the author
Born in 1881, Ernest Emmett Scholl is best remembered for agricultural and scientific writing connected to Texas. Records for his publications identify him as the author or coauthor of works on insect pests and useful regional plants, showing a career closely tied to applied entomology and farm research.
One of his best-known surviving titles is Texas Honey Plants, written with Charles Emerson Sanborn and later preserved by Project Gutenberg. He is also credited on bulletins about insect control and on a report about the pink bollworm of cotton, work that suggests a practical focus on the problems facing growers in Texas during a period when agricultural experiment stations played a major role in public education.
Although he is not widely known today as a literary figure, Scholl's writing remains valuable for readers interested in the history of farming, beekeeping, and insect science. His books and bulletins reflect a plainspoken, useful style aimed at helping people understand the natural world in ways that mattered to everyday work.
