The editors will thankfully receive news matter and other items likely to be of interest to our readers. 

 Papers will be published as far as possible in the order of reception, except that papers of reasonable 

 length maybe accepted in the discretion of the editor for early publication, provided that at least 100 

 reprints be ordered at full price rates; in the case of other matter, the maximum of 2.500 words is 

 still operative. Photo-engravings may be obtained by authors at cost. 



Separates or reprints, if ordered, when the manuscript is forwarded or the proof returned, will be 

 supplied to authors at the rates given below. Note that the number of pages in a reprint may be 

 afifected somewhat by the make-up, and that part of a page is charged as a full page. Carriage charges 

 extra in all cases. Shipment by parcel post, express or freight as directed. 



One hundred separates or reprints at $4.00 per page or plate. A 50% reduction on the price of the 

 first hundred reprints is allowed on each article ordered and paid for by members. Additional hundreds 

 or less. 4 pages or iess, $1.00; 5-8 pages, $1.50; 9-12 pages, $2.00; 13-16 pages, $2.50; 17-24 pages, $3.50; 

 25-32 pages, $4.50. Covers suitably printed on first page only, 100 copies, or less, $5.00; additional 

 hundreds, or less, $2.00. Plates inserted, $2.00 per hundred, or less. Folio reprints, the uncut folded 

 pages (50 only), sixteen page signature, or less, $3.00. 



The imperious demands of war in recent years resulted in the laying 

 hold of the exceedingly diversified knowledge classed as science, and its 

 utilization for the advancement of specific purposes, most worthy, many 

 tending very strongly in the opposite direction. The National Research 

 Coimcil has accomplished much in recent years in bringing the diverse 

 or to a certain extent isolated sciences into fruitful relations one with the 

 other to the mutual advantage of both and the very great gain of the 

 nation as a whole. The leaven has been working gradually throughout 

 the lump and many Entomologists have come within the sphere of 

 beneficent action. First an organic connection was established between 

 the Association and the Council. This was followed by the creation of 

 a Crop Protection Institute, an organization designed especially to 

 develop cooperative work along practical lines. The cooperative dust- 

 ing projects of last year are a typical line of activity. A most impor- 

 tant advance step has been taken in securing the recently announced 

 cooperation of several sulphur companies in a fundamental study of 

 the insecticidal and fungicidal properties of sulphur. These are new 

 departures and may be regarded as significant of the trend of the times. 

 We may expect in the near future more effective productive, cooperative 

 or team work among scientists and there is a possibility of less emphasis 

 being placed upon the work of the self -centered specialist with compara- 

 tively little appreciation of anything outside his important problem or 

 problems.
