6. Living weevils, or weevil stages, or weevil work, in possession of 

 any person outside of the infested territory except a qualified Ento- 

 mologist. 



7. Household goods containing any of the foregoing during the 

 period of quarantine applying to each. 



The following resolutions were unanimously adopted at the Wash- 

 ington meeting, December 29, 1911: 



That the Entomologists of this Association take concerted action 

 with regard to the cotton leaf caterpillar, by sending all reports of the 

 occurrence of the pest as soon as received, to W. D. Hunter, of the 

 Bureau of Entomology, which reports shall be compiled and issued 

 in circular letter on the first of the month following, or oftener. 



That it is the sentiment of the Association of Cotton States Ento- 

 mologists that the establishment of a cotton free zone of any width 

 whatever, is entirely impracticable and unfeasible, and would result in 

 an economic upheaval, regardless of any known method of taxation or 

 reimbursement. 



That a brief of the resolutions adopted at the Association of Cotton 

 States Entomologists at the Atlanta and Washington meetings be 

 printed in the Journal of Economic Entomology. 



That the Secretary be instructed to give to the press the resolutions 

 adopted at the Atlanta and Washington meetings. 



The Chair was instructed to appoint an executive committee, 

 composed of three members of this Association. This Committee 

 shall fix the place and time for the next meeting of this Association. 



A. F. Conradi, 



Secretary.

 tures of the president of the republic, the minister of agriculture, and 

 the minister of finance, a decree dated May 1st, 1911, governing the 

 charges for the inspection of nursery products for insect pests and 

 plant disease; and giving the classification, and provisions for the 



Uoumal Econ. Ent., Vol. 3, p. 499, December, 1910.
