Transportation. 



As usual, application for rates was 

 made of all the passenger associa- 

 I'liis was granted by the 

 Trunk Line Association and infused 

 remainder. The Canadian 

 the South-eastern, the Western and 

 the South-western Associations re- 

 ins. .1 to granl rates owing to the 

 small number attending from those 

 districts. The Centra] Association 

 i thai II has ceased to grant 

 rates unless an attendance of 1000 



be guarant I. Owing to the reduced 



fares in many of the states it is be- 

 ng inure difficult each year to 

 secure rates. 



Trade Exhibition. 



The trade exhibition of 1010 was 

 by far the most successful ever held. 

 Superintendent Vick and his associ- 

 ates at Rochester should be com- 

 mended for the able manner in which 

 the exhibition was handled. The 

 total receipts for the sale of space 

 were $2,460.43. The total expendi- 

 tures were $944.52 leaving a net 

 profit of $1,515.91. Several changes 

 were made, this year, in the rules 

 governing the exhibition and it Is 

 hoped that they will do much to im- 

 prove our exhibitions. It is hoped 

 that the present exhibition will ex- 

 cell that of the past year as It did 

 that of any previous year. 



Entomologist and Pathologist. 



The attention of the members 

 should be called to the excellent re- 

 ports given last year by the Ento- 

 mologist and Pathologist and which 

 are printed in the Proceedings for 

 1910. Reports, such as these, can 

 only be prepared by the expenditure 

 of much labor and money. 



Plant Registration. 



Thirty-two plants have registered 

 during the past year.

Trade Press. 



The members of the trade press 

 continue to give the Society their 

 cordial support. They have always 

 been ready to print all notices and 

 items sent to them by the Secretary. 

 The thanks of the Society Is also 

 due them for the complimentary 

 copies of their publication sent for 

 the use of the Secretary. 



Secretaryship. 

 Before closing this report a word 

 or two should be said regarding the 

 Secretary's office. The work of the 

 office is getting heavier each year 

 and has now reached the point where 

 the entire time of the Secretary 

 should be devoted to the interests of 

 Society. Experience of the past 

 two years has shown that the work 

 cannot be efficiently done by anyone 

 who has other duties to perform. 

 Where such is the case it is the 

 Society's and not the man's business 

 that suffers. The Secretary should

Any member who has 

 of the Society at heart 

 must set of a change. 



Many other duties that are neglected 

 at the present time could be given 

 the necessary attention. 



in closing I wish to thank the 

 members of the Society for all their 

 kind consideration and help given to 

 thi Secretary during the past two 

 years.
