There is urgent neied of a station bulletin dealing with 

 the rice weevil and its control to be available for distribu- 

 tion by August, lyiU. We contemplate the publication of 

 this bulletin. 



A'ew? Quarters for the Department. — -The new quarters 

 provided in Comer Hall for the experiment station work in 

 entomology consist of two laboratory rooms and a. large 

 office, library and collection room on the first floor in the 

 western end of the main building, with a work room and 

 insectary in the green house range immediately south of 

 Comer Hall. The completion of these rooms has en- 

 abled us to do many necessary things which were impossi- 

 ble previously for lack of space. 



Equipment.— Mo^t of the equipment added for the De- 

 partment of Entomology during the past year has been for 

 the station investigation work. This has been increased by 

 the value of fully |500 during the past year. The largest 

 single item has been the consti'uction of fumigation boxes 

 for use in the project investigations. The items seciired 

 have been only those most essential to. the continuance of 

 the investigations. Many additional items would .greatly 

 facilitate th^ work. . ... . 



Respectfully submitted, 



W. E. Hinds, 

 ... Entomologist.
