20 JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY [Vol. 10 



It was voted that the next annual meeting be held at the same time 

 and place with that of the American Association for the Advancement 

 of Science. 



President C. Gordon Hewitt: We have now come to a final 

 adjournment, but before adjourning, I would like to say what a pleas- 

 ure it has been to me to preside over the greater part of the sessions. 

 I only regret that I was prevented by illness from attending the first 

 sessions. I should like to express my gratitude to Vice-President Dean 

 for his kindness in taking my place at that time. I should also like to 

 thank all the members of the various committees for the careful way 

 in which they have carried out their duties, which are not always 

 pleasant to perform, but I think every one will agree that these com- 

 mittees have done their work well. 



There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 3.55 p. m. 

 Respectfully submitted, 



A, F. Burgess, 



Secretary. 



PART II. PAPERS AND DISCUSSIONS 



Vice-President G. A. Dean: We will now take up the reading of 

 papers. A letter has been received from Mr. Fiske stating that he 

 would be unable to be present. I will therefore call for a paper by 

 Prof. C. R. Crosby and Mortimer D. Leonard. 



THE FARM BUREAU AS AN AGENCY FOR DEMONSTRAT- 

 ING THE CONTROL OF INJURIOUS INSECTS 



By C. R. Crosby and M. D. Leonard, Ithaca, N. Y. 



With the establishment of farm bureaus and with their subsequent 

 growth, not only in numbers but also in efficiency and popularity, a 

 new agency has been created for the dissemination of knowledge 

 relating to the control of insect pests. This development is one that 

 should be welcomed by those entomologists interested in making this 

 knowledge available to the greatest possible number of persons en- 

 gaged in agricultural pursuits. 



The task confronting extension workers in entomology is not to 

 "popularize" their subject, in the ordinary sense of the term, but to 

 teach the farmers those entomological facts that have a direct bearing 

 on their problems, and thereby induce them to incorporate such prac-
