Report of Exto^iologist. xv 



Our daily mail now often averages from five to ten letters, and 

 it is not limited to our State or the United States, but includes 

 Europe and such remote regions as Australia and South Africa. 

 This extensive correspondence; our frequent contributions to the 

 agricultural press ; our personal contact with many of New 

 York's leading farmers and fruit-growers in attendance at Far- 

 mer's Institutes, Horticultural Meetings and other similar 

 gatherings, are resulting in the work of the Entomological 

 Division being brought in closer touch with, and being more and 

 more appreciated each year by the people. 



Respectfull}' submitted, 



M. V. Slingerland.
