REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON AFFILIATION 



Whereas; a committee of this Association has conferred with similar committees 

 of the American Association of Official Horticultural Inspectors and the American 

 Association of Apiary Inspectors for the purpose of considering a plan whereby 

 affiliation may be brought about with this Association, and, 



Whereas; it is the opinion of the members of these committees that affiliation 

 is desirable and will bring about better results and at less expense to the members 

 than by maintaining separate and distinct organizations. 



Resolved, That the plan outlined below be' submitted to each Association concerned 

 at its forthcoming annual meeting and that the same shall be put in force immedi- 

 ately if approved by the Associations concerned. 



Plan 



In order to bring about affiUation, the American Association of Economic Ento- 

 mologists agrees to amend its constitution to enable the present members of the 

 American Association of Official Horticultural Inspectors and the American Associa- 

 tion of Apiary Inspectors to become members and that said amendment will be made 

 by striidng out the first sentence of article II, section 1 of the constitution, which 

 reads as follows: "The membership shall be confined to workers in economic ento- 

 mology," and in the following sentence after the words "entomologists" there shall 

 be added words "or horticultural or apiary inspectors," so that the sentence wiU 

 read, "All economic entomologists, horticultural or apiary inspectors employed by 

 the Federal or State governments . . . may become members. 



The members of the American Association of Official Horticultural Inspectors 

 and American Association of Apiary Inspectors, who are not at present members of 

 the American Association of Economic Entomologists, will, after making regular 

 application for membership, be admitted on the same basis as other members. 



After the affiliation has been accomplished, the annual meetings of the American 

 Association of Economic Entomologists shall be arranged so that the Horticultural 

 Inspectors may meet as the section of Horticultural Inspection, and the Apiary 

 Inspectors may meet as the section of Apiary Inspection and the programs shall be 

 made up so that as few papers as possible of mutual interest shall be presented at 

 the same time before the American Association of Economic Entomologists and its 

 sections. 



The American Association of Economic Entomologists further agrees that one 

 vice-president of its Association shall be a recognized Horticultural Inspector and 

 he shall have general direction over and preside at, the meetings of the section of 

 Horticultural Inspection and a similar arrangement shall be put in force for the 

 section of Apiary Inspection. The secretary of the .American Association of Eco- 

 nomic Entomologists will have charge of the preparation and arrangements for the 

 meetings, the general make-up of the program and the publication of the proceedings 

 of the Association. Each section shall select its own secretary to keep a record of the 

 proceedings and discussions at th^ sectional meeting and he shall prepare them for 

 publication. It shall be the privilege of each section to bring any matters of special 

 interest in its work to the attention of the American Association of Economic Ento- 

 mologists for action by that Association. 



The proceedings of the American Association of Economic Entomologists and 

 sections, together with such papers as may be presented, shall be given equal privi- 

 leges for publication in the Journal of Economic Entomology.
