JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY 



OFFICIAL ORGAN AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGISTS 



DECEMBER, 1919 



The editors will thankfully receive news items and other matter likely to be of interest to sub- 

 scribers. Papers will be published, so far as possible, in the order of reception. All extended con- 

 tributions, at least, should be in the hands of the editor the first of the month preceding publication. 

 Contributors are requested to supply electrotypes for the larger illustrations so far as possible. Photo- 

 engravings may be obtained by authors at cost. The receipt of all papers will be acknowledged. — Eds.

Judging from the trend of affairs, it may be necessary to limit more 

 closely than heretofore the acceptance of matter for the Journal. 

 The Proceedings of the Annual Meeting and those of Branch Meet- 

 ings have by common consent been given precedence in the past. It is 

 presumable that this policy meets with general approval and will be 

 continued. The editor has in the past suggested some condensation 

 or even the withdrawal of papers read at the meeting, this action 

 being based on various considerations. It is not quite fair to submit 

 a forty-minute manuscript for a fifteen-minute paper, though circum- 

 stances may verj^ occasionally justify it. The limited resources 

 available make it impossible for the Journal to publish many twenty- 

 page contributions and afford a fair opportunity to the many lines of 

 activity seeking an outlet through its pages. In the same way, the 

 relatively costly tabular matter and illustrations, both desirable in 

 themselves, are self-limiting with our restricted resources. It has 

 been the editor's aim to give preference to new matter, preferably con- 

 cisely stated, because it is only by observing some such rule that the 

 Journal can under present conditions fill the place it should occupy 

 in economic entomology. There is so much new matter available, 

 that summaries or digests of previously known facts, published illus- 

 trations, exhaustive tabulations and detailed accounts of investiga- 

 tions all come in a class which conditions make it difficult to publish 

 unless justified by special considerations.
