18 JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY [Vol. 5 



increase the interest in your organization among such of your Southern members as 

 usually do not attend yom- own meeting. Our organization meets on December 27, 

 28, and 29, 1911. Only at night does our Society meet in a body as all meetings in the 

 daytime are Departmental meetings. Railroads have granted a special rate of one 

 and a half fare for a round trip east of the Mississippi and south of the Ohio rivers. 

 Every possible courtesy will be extended to your organization by way of making 

 arrangements for the railroad and hotel accommodations, meeting halls, all of which 

 is in the hands of the General Secretary of this organization. 



Should the time be too short to arrange a program, and should the matter not yet 

 have been considered by you, we hope you will bring it to the notice of the officials 

 at your meeting so that action can be taken in this line when we will again extend the 

 invitation to you in course of a few months to meet with us in another state in the 

 South. You will note that a large number of j'our members hving in the South never 

 attend j'our meetings in the North. 



We should very much like to hear from you at your earhest convenience regarding 

 this matter. If you will give a meeting, we will be glad to announce it in our program 

 which wiU go to the press December 12th. 



Most respectfully, 



H. E. BlERLT, 



General Secretary. 



Secretary A. F. Burgess: This Society is one of which I know- 

 very httle, and it seemed to me it would be very desirable for the Asso- 

 ciation at this time to appoint a committee of three members from the 

 Southern States, and turn the matter over to them, and let them 

 report at the last session as to whether they consider further action 

 advisable. On motion, so referred. 



President F. L. Washburn: I will appoint on that committee 

 Wilmon Newell, E. L. Worsham and W. E. Rumsey. 



Wilmon Newell: Mr. President, there is one resolution that I 

 would like to offer before we adjourn. One of the oldest members of 

 this Association and one who has been very faithful in attendance has 

 been ill for several weeks at his home, and I think it is only proper that 

 this Association should send him a telegram of condolence. I refer to 

 Dr. John B. Smith, State Entomologist of New Jersey, and I move 

 that the President and Secretary send such a telegram, assuring him 

 of our sympathy. Carried. 



At the morning session, Thursday, December 28, the President 

 announced the recent death of Mr. F. W. Terry, Assistant Entomolo- 

 gist to the Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Experiment Station, at Honolulu, 

 Hawaii, who was an associate member of the Association and referred 

 the matter to the Committee on Memorial Resolutions for action. 



He also called on Dr. E. P. Felt to make a statement concerning the 

 Journal of Economic Entomology. 



E. P. Felt: Mr. Chairman, with the permission of the Association, 

 I would like to bring up a matter, in order that you may act upon it
