328 JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY [Vol. 15 



After this splendid talk the question of dusting for the control of insect pests was 

 presented. The discussion was opened by Dr. W. Rudolfs of New Brunswick, N. J., 

 who gave us some valuable chemical data on contact insecticides. This talk was 

 followed by Prof. P. J. Parrot, who gave us a review of his wide experience in the 

 control of various pests with dusts. After considerable discussion, the question was 

 brought to a close and Dr. E. D. Ball was called on for a few remarks. He pre- 

 sented some important views on the trend of entomology and brought out some of its 

 needs. His comments on the success attained in raising the salary of scientific 

 workers connected with the government bureaus was encouraging. 



The chairman concluded the meeting by calling for a report from the nomination 

 committee. The following officers were nominated and elected to act for the coming 

 year: Prof. G. W. Herrick, Ithaca, N. Y., as chairman, and M. P. Zappe, New Haven, 

 Conn., as secretary. 



Friday morning a tour was made through the experimental plats on the grounds 

 of the Geneva Agricultural Experiment Station. From there a run was made to 

 Ithaca where we lunched together and then visited the department of Entomology 

 at Cornell University. We were also entertained by Dr. and Mrs. J. H. Comstock 

 in their home. 



All told the annual summer meeting was a decided success. All of those fortunate 

 enough to attend, wish to express their appreciation of the manner in which the 

 meeting was conducted. Many favorable comments were made on the splendid 

 entomological work that is being conducted by entomologists in the state of New 

 York.
