The second annual dinner, like the first, was a most pleasant and 

 popular aflair, a very desirable change from the more serious regular 

 sessions. The editor is but voicing a general sentiment when he con- 

 gratulates the originator upon his happy thought and compliments 

 him and his associates upon the admirable manner in which it was exe- 

 cuted. 



The Thirty-third Annual Meeting has passed and proved to be a 

 well attended and highly successful gathering. The broader entomologi- 

 cal problems received considerable attention as well as many of the more 

 restricted and special interests. The joint session with the Plant 

 Pathologists on dusting made possible an admirably broad summation 

 of the questions involved by representatives of both organizations 

 from different parts of the country. The comparatively innocent 

 appearing title: "The Spreading of Sprays" opened a vista into closely 

 related problems having a most practical bearing on economic entomol- 

 ogy. It was typical of a number of cases where entomologists need close 

 and long sustained co-operation from, investigators along other lines if 

 the best results are to be obtained without great delay. The difficulty 

 of securing team work of this character was an important factor in the 

 organization of the Crop Protection Institute, an organization which has 

 among its possibilities a profound modification of the investigational 

 work of the country. 



The great delay in mailing the December issue was unanticipated and 

 due to a very unusual combination of circumstances. The editor was 

 in hopes the issue would bs in the hands of most members a week before 

 it was necessary to leave for the annual meeting. Particular attention 

 is called to the editorial of that number because it summarizes present 

 conditions and outlines the policy recently adopted.
