18 JOtJRNAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY [Vol. 10 



the business. The committee beHeves that we should not attempt to 

 hold a session on Saturday afternoon. Experience here and at pre- 

 vious meetings indicates that we need three days, or half of the total 

 week for the meetings of our Association. The remainder of the week 

 can be taken up by any other society, including the Entomological 

 Society of America, if it desires. 



President C. Gordon Hewitt: I think it is generally understood 

 that it is the wish of the members that in arranging dates, the Secre- 

 tary of our Association should notify the Secretary of the Entomologi- 

 cal Society of America what dates we are selecting because it would 

 be extremely unfortunate if we knowingly or without taking any 

 trouble in the matter clashed with the times of their meetings when it 

 could be possibly avoided, as there are many members of our Associa- 

 tion who are almost equall}^ interested in both meetings. 



Secretary A. F. Burgess: I would like to say that the committee 

 endeavored to confer with the Secretary of the Entomological Society 

 of America before preparing this report, but found that he had left the 

 city earlier in the day. We talked the matter over with one of the 

 executive board of that society and it did not seem possible to arrange 

 to accommodate every one. The Entomological Society of America 

 has always been advised in advance in regard to the time for holding 

 our meetings, and this course will be followed in future. 



By vote of the Association the report was accepted and the recom- 

 mendations adopted. 



President C. Gordon Hewitt: I will now call for the report of 

 the committee to consider the relation between this Association and 

 its sections. 



REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON RELATIONSHIP OF SECTIONS AND 

 BRANCHES TO THE CENTAL ASSOCIATION 



Your committee appointed to consider the relationship of sections and branches to 

 the central organization respectfully submits the following: 



We recommend that the official name of the Horticultural Inspectors be changed 

 from American Association of Official Horticultural Inspectors to Section on Hor- 

 ticultural Inspection. 



We recommend that the official name of the apiary inspectors be changed from 

 Section on Apiary Inspection to Section on Apiculture, and that their activities be 

 extended to include research in apiculture and education in apiculture. 



As a guide in estabhshing any future sections and to record a definition of the 

 activities of existing sections, we recommend that the purposes of sections be under- 

 stood to be to discuss topics which are of such special nature as to be of only general 

 interest to the majority of the members and of special interest to a Umited number. 



Respectfully submitted,
