February, '12] ENTOMOLOGISTS' PROCEEDINGS 29 



bill which has been framed and which we will present to Con- 

 gress next year, with the few amendments read last evening 

 at the meeting of the Horticultural Inspectors. Therefore, is it your 

 pleasure, as a body, to officially endorse this bill already endorsed by 

 the Horticultural Inspectors? 



E. D. Sanderson: Mr. President, I take it that the Committee 

 on Legislation has the same report to make that they had last night 

 for the Horticultural Inspectors. I move the report be adopted and 

 that the Secretary be instructed to forward to the President of the 

 Senate, the Speaker of the House and the Chairman of the Agriculture 

 Committees, the endorsement of this Association of the bill in its 

 amended form, as recommended by the Committee. 



The amendments agreed upon with the nurserymen in the meeting 

 for the Horticultural Inspectors were outhned and the motion duly 

 carried. 



T. B. Symons: I would add that the committee recommends that 

 the present committee be dismissed, and that a new committee be 

 appointed, and that the same funds given last year be placed at its 

 disposal the coming year. Motion seconded and carried. 



The chair will be pleased to appoint three men from this body to 

 represent us in matters of legislation here in Washington and 

 elsewhere, to work in conjunction with the three members of the Hor- 

 ticultural Inspectors' Association, and I therefore appoint the follow- 

 ing members of this committee: Mr. Sanderson, Dr. Forbes and 

 Dr. Felt. 



T. B. Symons: Mr. President, I would like to report, as chairman 

 of the Committee on Affihation of the Horticultural Inspectors, that 

 the committee recommends that it be continued to consider this 

 matter for another year. The report was adopted as presented and 

 the committee continued. 



W. C. O'Kane: Mr. President, one matter in connection with the 

 incorporation of this Association. There are necessary legal papers 

 to be drawn up and signed, and, therefore, I should like to make a 

 motion that this part of the proceedings be entrusted to our Executive 

 Committee, the Board of Directors, consisting of the President, the 

 two Vice-Presidents and the Secretary. The motion was duly seconded 

 and carried. 



Herbert Osborn: I would like to ask if, under the election of 

 officers, it is necessarj^ to propose the Editor, Associate Editor and 

 Business Manager of the Journal. These names have been suggested 

 by the Advisory Committee, who is prepared to make the nominations. 

 We nominate, for the Editor, Dr. E. P. Felt; Associate Editor, W. E. 

 Britton, and Business Manager, A. F. Burgess.
