Meeting called to order by President Woodworth, reading of reports 

 having been made a special order. 



a. Report of President, by Professor C. W. Woodworth. 



b. Report of Secretarj^-Treasurer, by Professor W. B. Herms. 

 The secretary reported a membership of fifty-eight. The receipts 

 of the Association amounted to $60.95, disbursements $63.30, bills 

 due $30.00, making a deficit of $32.35. The deficit is so large owing 

 to the expense of stationery and preliminary matters of organization. 

 Dues are being well paid up. 



A discussion of the financial condition of the Association brought 

 out the fact that the annual dues for 1911 would certainly wipe out 

 the deficit and leave the treasury in good condition. Thru the immed- 

 iate payment of dues on this same evening the matter was almost 

 cleared up at once. 



A discussion of ways and means for the publication of annual 

 proceedings was entered into at this time. The Secretary announced 

 that Dr. E. P. Felt, Editor cf the Journal of Economic Entomology, 

 had offered the services of that Journal. 



Motion made and seconded that the Association accept with thanks 

 the offer of Doctor Felt and instructing the Secretary to correspond 

 with him relative to printing the proceedings in one issue of the 

 Journal. Motion carried unanimously. 



IMotion carried to proceed with program for the evening.
