Eight regular courses in entomology have been given during ihe year. 

 Course V being given throughoul the entire year. Besides this, two 

 short courses were given to short course students during the winter 

 term. Course VI was given in its entirety for the first time, the labora- 

 tory work having heretofore been omitted to make room for other de- 

 jtartments following the recent clKinges in course. Course VIII, Parasi-

The work of the department requires little comment. The work 

 has been done with few breaks, and carried out as ])lanned. 



The personnel of the department has not changed except for the 

 department of student assistants and the coming of new ones. 



The legislature recently closed has placed the ins])ection of bees in 

 the hands of the State Board of Agriculture, and they in turn have 

 appointed Mr. F. C. Milieu, a graduate of Ontario Agricultural Col- 

 lege, as State Ins]>ector. making him a member of this department and 

 instructor of apiculture, his duties here to begin on Se])tember 1st. It 

 is to be hoped that eventually courses in bee-keeping may be added to 

 the curriculum. 



Meetings of various sorts have claimed the ser\ices of the depart- 

 ment in various parts of the state. Addresses have been made on a num- 

 ber of occasions to gatherings of farmers and state societies. 



It gives me great pleasure to report a year pleasantly spent.
