Voted that the report be accepted and the Secretary be instructed to 

 cast one ballot for each nominee. The ballots were cast and the members

 his best efforts to the association for the coming year.

Secretary Burgess stated that he had held a conference with the 

 officers of the American Phytopathological Society and arrangements 

 had been made to hold a joint session next year. The subject to be 

 discussed had not been decided, but it was requested that the members 

 of each association send any suggestion they might have along this line 

 to the Secretary of their Association. This should be done as soon as 

 possible, as speakers should be selected by the first of April in order 

 that they might have ample time to prepare their papers for the meeting. 



He also read the following communication in regard to extension work 

 which was signed by E. G. Kelly and W. P. Flint: 



"A meeting of members of this association interested in extension work was held 

 at the Prince George Hotel the evening of Dec. 29. 1921. 



After a general discussion of subjects pertaining to extension work, an informal 

 organization was formed for the purpose of holding an annual conference in con- 

 nection with the meeting of the American Association of Economic Entomologists." 



Announcement of the conference will be made during the first session 

 of the meeting at Boston. 



Mr. E. P. Felt stated that the matter of handling the manuscripts 

 submitted to the Journal was becoming increasingly difficult, particularly 

 on account of the fact that many publications handling short papers 

 had been or were being discontinued. He presented the following 

 statement which had been reviewed and had the endorsement of both 

 the Advisory and Editorial Boards of the Journal.
