for the benefit of farmers. Thus the field of agricultural entomology 

 is far from being covered adequately. But along with agricultural 

 entomology, and in no way interfering with it, there should develop 

 a medical entomology of a magnitude in some degree commensurate 

 with its importance. 



Conclusion 



Applied entomology is a science of recent development. We are 

 working in a new country and with a multiplicity of important pests. 

 We have no occasion to be dissatisfied with the progress that has been 

 made. The facts that the science has recently developed, that the 

 forces at work have been far from adequate, that the majority of 

 entomologists are engaged by institutions devoted to advancing agri- 

 culture in a rather strict sense, and that medical entomology is a domain 

 that has only recently been opened, are the reasons for the compara- 

 tive neglect of the subject. The work that confronts us now is 

 to survey that domain and occupy it. Humanity and the destiny 

 of economic entomology demand that we do so.
