be desirable for the Bureau to publish this information in order to 

 bring the references up to date. I believe, however, that the dis- 

 continuance of the publication of the bibliography was decided upon 

 some years ago. It may be possible, however, to have this matter 

 taken up and a change in policy adopted. 



By vote of the Association the matter was referred to a special com- 

 mittee of three to be appointed by the Chair. 



The President announced the appointment of the following com- 

 mittees: 



Committee on auditing: Mr. W. W. Yothers, Mr. R. L. Webster. 



Committee on resolutions: Mr. R. A. Cooley, Mr. F. L. Washburn,. 

 Mr. H. J. Quayle. 



Committee on nominations: Mr. E. P. Felt, Mr. S. J. Hunter, Mr. 

 W. C. O'Kane. 



Committee on Incorporation: Mr. E. P. Felt, Mr. W. C. O'Kane^ 

 Mr. A. F. Burgess. « 



Committee on Bibliography of Economic Entomology: Mr. S. A. 

 Forbes, Mr. Glenn W. Herrick, Mr. R. L. Webster. 



Committee on Amendments to the Constitution: Mr. W. E. Brit- 

 ton, Mr. Wilmon Newell, Mr. A. W. Morrill. 



At the morning session, Thursday, January 2, the President called 

 for the report of the Committee for Testing Proprietary Insecticides. 

 The Secretary read a letter which he had received from Mr. Sanderson^ 

 chairman of this committee, stating that no work had been done by 

 the committee during the year and suggesting that it be discontinued. 



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

 mittee discharged. 



President W. D. Hunter: I will now call for the report of the 

 committee on legislation, which has been received from Mr. Sanderson. 



REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON LEGISLATION 



Gentlemen: 



Your committee on legislation begs leave to report that it was represented at a 

 hearing on the Simmons bill before the committee on agriculture of the House of 

 Representatives, on February 19, 1912, at which the measure was fully discussed 

 with interested representatives from various parts of the country and by the legis- 

 lative committee of the American Nurserymen's Association. The committee kept 

 in close touch with this measure after that, and, through correspondence and other- 

 wise, aided in the final passage of the measure on the last day of the session in August 

 last. This act, although not all it might be desired, is a long step in advance, and has 

 already been used to good advantage by the federal board in charge of its enforce- 

 ment. 



Respect full}' submitted, 



For the COMMITTEE, 

 E. D. Sanderson, 



Chairman.
