 reports were presented the chairman intro- 

 duced the club's entomologist, Herman 

 Schwartz, who lectured on "Insects Useful 

 and Depreciating to Plant Life." Some e.'^- 

 sential factors were explained enabling tlu 

 gardener to differentiate between variou.-

 ing separate head, thorax and abdomen, 

 always possessing six legs attached to tlie 

 thorax, the honey-bee being the most intel- 

 ligent. Beetles. Possessing hard protective 

 wing coverings. Alouth parts from side t<' 

 side enabling them to chew or bite their 

 food. Bugs. Possessing a sucking moutli 

 part, inserting their proboscis into tlie 

 leaves, drawing forth or sucking their food. 

 The speaker answered some interesting 

 questions brought out in the discussion, 

 especially in reference to the life cycle of 

 the parasitic insects. A. F. Satterthwait, of 

 the Department of Agriculture, spoke on 

 the relative value of the birds in cuntrolling
