  INSECTS

  I 
  have 
  not 
  very 
  much 
  to 
  say 
  because 
  we 
  have 
  not 
  yet 
  accumulated 
  

   much 
  information 
  on 
  the 
  subject 
  of 
  nut 
  insects. 
  I 
  am 
  glad 
  to 
  

   appear 
  before 
  you, 
  however, 
  and 
  to 
  assure 
  you 
  that 
  attention 
  is 
  

   beijig 
  given 
  to 
  the 
  insect 
  enemies 
  of 
  nuts 
  by 
  the 
  Department. 
  We 
  

   are 
  not 
  nearly 
  so 
  far 
  advanced 
  in 
  the 
  subject, 
  however, 
  as 
  Pro- 
  

   fessor 
  Waite, 
  since 
  our 
  specific 
  study 
  of 
  nut 
  insects 
  began 
  only, 
  

   tliis 
  last 
  spring. 
  At 
  that 
  time 
  we 
  established 
  a 
  laboratory 
  in 
  the 
  

   South, 
  especially 
  to 
  study 
  pecan 
  insects, 
  as 
  the 
  demand 
  for 
  infor- 
  

   mation 
  concerning 
  these 
  pests 
  has 
  been 
  very 
  strong. 
  The 
  Bureau 
  

   of 
  Entomology, 
  however, 
  for 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  years, 
  has 
  published 
  more 
  

   or 
  less 
  on 
  nut 
  insects, 
  as 
  opportunity 
  offered, 
  and 
  I 
  think 
  I 
  should 
  

   call 
  your 
  attention 
  to 
  a 
  few 
  of 
  the 
  papers 
  treating 
  of 
  nut 
  insects, 
  

   and 
  which 
  I 
  recommend 
  that 
  you 
  obtain, 
  if 
  possible
