February, '11] ENTOMOLOGISTS' PROCEEDINGS 3 



President Sanderson: What is your pleasure as regards the 

 report of the secretary? 



Moved and seconded that it be adopted. 



Secretary Burgess: I woukl request that the motion be amended 

 so that the financial part of the report can be referred to the auditing 

 committee. 



By vote of the Association the amended motion was adopted. 



President Sanderson: The report of the committee on the mat- 

 ter of control of imported nursery stock is now in order. Mr. Symons, 

 are you ready to report? 



Mr. Symons : This is not on the program but I would like to have 

 it taken up later. 



President Sanderson: The next business is the report of the 

 committee on testing proprietary insecticides. In behalf of this 

 committee I will say that no meeting has been held. A report was 

 made and published in the Journal after the passage of the National 

 Insecticide Law last spring. Since that time no work has been done. 

 I believe there is a field for an insecticide committee, but would like 

 to see the present one discharged and a new committee nominated. 

 There is no further report to make at the present time. 



Mr. Lowe: Concerning insecticides, has this standing committee 

 had any insecticides submitted for tests? 



President Sanderson: Not this past year. Two years ago some 

 insecticides were submitted to us, and the committee at that time made 

 its report. 



Mr. Lowe: I allude to the recommendation of the standing com- 

 mittee on insecticides, that the insecticides be first tested by the manu- 

 facturers and then submitted for corroboration. In regard to the in- 

 secticide law, I have looked into that very carefully, and there are 

 several things I notice, in connection with the law that are liable to 

 come up some time. 



President Sanderson: I would say, that this should properly be 

 taken up with the United States Bureau of Chemistry. 



President Sanderson next presented the report of the Executive 

 Committee.
