16 JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY [Vol. 15 



furnished by the United States Bureau of Entomology and the excellent services 

 of J. A. Hyslop in organizing and conducting the initial work. 



It is our opinion that the Insect Pest Survey is of great economic importance to 

 present day and future entomology and that it is not only a privilege but the duty of 

 every entomologist to cooperate with the observers responsible for the individual 

 state reports and that the state reporters should realize the double responsibility 

 placed upon them and that each one should make his reports complete and submit 

 them promptly. 



We would urge that the Insect Pest Survey be furnished expert assistance and 

 that those responsible for its development further investigate the uses and needs of 

 this service to the end that the correlation and interpretation of the data thus secured 

 may be used in a study of the underlying principles involved in periodic or spasmodic 

 insect outbreaks. 



In view of the permanent value of the annual Insect Pest Survey summaries, it 

 is strongly urged that these summaries be printed and made available. 



2. Resolved, That this association express its appreciation of the valuable services 

 rendered through the Journal of Agricultural Research and the Experiment Station 

 Record and urge that funds be made available at the earliest possible date to resume 

 publication of these two Journals. 



3. Resolved, That the American Association of Economic Entomologists urge 

 further and more complete cooperation between the Federal and state entomologists, 

 between entomologists in neighboring states and between those of the United States 

 and Canada, as suggested so clearly and forcibly by President Dean in his annual 

 address. 



4. Resolved, That it is the sense of this association that further and more extensive 

 studies on insecticides and fungicides are needed and that in this connection it is high- 

 ly important that chemists who can give their entire time to the chemistry of insecti- 

 cides and fungicides be employed to work in cooperation with entomologists and 

 pathologists. 



5. Resolved, That, inasmuch as the literature dealing with insect pests of green- 

 house and flower garden plants is widely scattered and that there is need of gathering 

 together this information for use of florists and entomologists, and further that since 

 such a compilation will, we believe, directly stimulate the study of greenhouse 

 insect pests and in this way be of additional value to American florists, that this 

 association indorse the Greenhouse Insect Index (prepared by J. J. Davis) and suggest 

 that the Society of American Florists undertake its publication. 



6. It is recommended that the President of our Association appoint the Committee 

 on Resolutions at least a month previous to the date of meeting in order that a more 

 careful study and organization of the problems to be considered by that committee 

 may be made. 



7. Resolved, That the American Association of Economic Entomologists express 

 its great thanks and appreciation to the authorities of the University of Toronto, 

 the Royal Canadian Institute and the Provinical Government of Ontario for the 

 opportunity of holding its meetings at the University and also for other privileges 

 and entertainment enjoyed through their courtesy. 



Respectfully submitted, 

 John J. Davis,
