The Standing Committee on Insecticides submitted the following 

 report : 



REPORT OF THE STANDING COMMITTEE ON INSECTICIDES. 



Your committee on insecticides begs to present tlie following I'eport : 



1. After consideration of the list of insecticides submitted to the members 

 of the Association for testing as reported to the committee of last year on 

 this subject (which list is herewith appended) it seems to your committee 

 that it is not advisable at the present time to undertake any cooperative 

 tests of any of them. 



2. Your committee recommends that all new proprietary insecticides offered 

 to members of this Association be referred to this committee, who will then 

 proceed, as suggested in the report of the committee on this matter of last 

 year, part two. 



3. The committee believes that it should ascertain whether it is possible to 

 secure an interpretation or amendment of the national pure food and drug 

 law so that it will include insecticides and fungicides, and if this is found 

 impossible that the committee draw up and report to the next meeting of this 

 xVssociation a suggested law which will aid in securing uniformity of legis- 

 lation in the various states, as regards the compulsory analysis and labeling 

 of insecticides and fungicides. 



Respectfully submitted,
