REPORT OF SECRETARY-TREASURER 



The work of the Association has progressed satisfactorily during the past yeaf : — 

 New members have joined the Association, but there are several on the roll of the 

 Association who have not paid their dues. 



With the passage of the Plant Quarantine Law, there is an added necessity for an 

 annual conference of State Horticultural Inspectors, to study and discuss the best 

 means of conducting our work with justice to all parties. 



The Association is now on a good working basis, and I hope that the proposal of 

 affiliation as a section of the Association of Economic Entomologists will meet with 

 the approval of the members of each Association. 



In anj^ event, I beg to be reheved of the duties of Secretary-Treasurer on account 

 of increased demands on my time in Maryland. According to the by-laws, I believe 

 there remains one more year of mj^ term of office. 



As your treasurer I submit the following statement, givmg a balance to the treas- 

 ury of $45.27. 



Respectfully submitted, 



T. B. Symons.
