Hopkins. J. H. Morgan, for many years an authoritative worker in 

 Louisiana, and now President of the State University of Tennessee, 

 was horn in Ontario, educated at Guelph and Toronto. E. N. Cory, 

 for many years Entomologist of Maryland, although horn in New 

 York, was educated at the Maryland Agricultural College. R. W. 

 Harned, the efficient Entomologist of Mississippi, although horn in 

 Maryland was educated at the Ohio State University and at Cornell. 

 W. D. Hunter, who lived during practically the whole of his produc- 

 tive life in Texas and was very highly esteemed hy the cotton planters 

 and other prominent men of that State, was horn and educated in 

 Nebraska. G. M. Bentley, the Entomologist of Tennessee, was born 

 in Massachusetts and educated at Cornell. E. W. Berger, the Ento- 

 mologist of the Florida Experiment Station, a well known worker, 

 was born in Ohio and educated in Ohio colleges and at Johns Hopkins. 

 E. L. Worsham, the twelfth on our list, is the only one who was born 

 in the far south, namely in Georgia, and was educated at the Georgia 

 State University and at Cornell. 



The South, however, is rapidly coming into her own in all ways, 

 including economic entomology. Sound courses in applied entomology 

 are being given in all the southern State colleges, and young men are 

 being graduated who are well fitted to produce good results. 



I had written down to this point in December, 1927. At the end 

 of the year the annual meeting of the American Association of Eco- 

 nomic Entomologists was held at Nashville, Tennessee, in conjunction 

 with the annual meeting of the American Association for the Ad- 

 vancement of Science. The annual address to the Economic Ento- 

 mologists was given by the retiring President. Prof. R. W. Harned 

 of the University of Mississippi. He had chosen for his subject 

 " Entomology in the Southern States," and when published the ad- 

 dress was found to cover 25 pages of the February, 1928, number of 

 the Journal of Economic Entomology. This very full paper covers 

 the ground about which I have written above and introduces very 

 many significant statements. Professor Harned, with an intimate 

 knowledge of the conditions that exist in the Southern States today, 

 evidently spent much time and much thought upon this paper ancl 

 brought out many points of importance. He showed, for example, 

 that the South is today in reality one of the most active sections of 

 the country in entomological work. Based upon figures of one million 

 white population, he shows that, of the members of the two great 

 national entomological societies, namely the Entomological Society of 

 America and the American Association of Economic Entomologists, 

 the State of Mississippi leads (after the District of Columbia) ; that
