20 JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY ]Vol. 4 



Mr. Washburn: I must confess ignorance as to just what the duties 

 of that committee are. 



Mr. Headlee: I feel considerable hesitation in trying to answer 

 the question. The first duty would be to gather information in regard 

 to projects now under way. The second would be to draw these proj- 

 ects together and formulate them into some sort of table, possibly, 

 that could be published in the Journal, and form a basis for discus- 

 sion at the regular meeting. The third duty would be to write a broad- 

 gauged cUscussion of the general tendencies which these investi- 

 gations showed. 



President Sanderson: It is suggested that the committee be of 

 three members. 



Mr. Symons: Make it five. 



President Sanderson: I would say, that as contemplated ori- 

 ginally by the Executive Committee, this proposition did not include 

 the Bureau of Entomology. Through a misunderstanding this year, 

 and through loss of a letter which was written by me to the bureau, we 

 failed to have the cooperation which we feel certain we will have in the 

 future. The proposition was that the Bureau be invited to have a rep- 

 resentative to give an outline of the work of the Bureau exactly as 

 this committee would secure from the different states. Motion is 

 carried. 



" President Sanderson: I will ask the Nominating Committee to 

 nominate that committee as a standing committee, if they can do so, 

 before we adjourn this afternoon. The third proposition is regarding 

 the amendment to make the dues include the Journal. This is 

 brought up merely for discussion at this time, so that it may take the 

 sense of the meeting. 



Mr. Symons: In order to bring the matter before the house I move 

 that this provision be adopted, and if I can have a second, I should 

 like to discuss it for a moment. (Motion seconded.) I would simply 

 say I have been opposed to joining the dues and t\ie Journal for the 

 reason that I did not think it would be best to make it necessary for the 

 young men joining the Association to take the Journal. I have 

 learned, however, that there are only about twenty members of the 

 Association who have not taken the Journal, and it is safe to say they 

 could all afford to take it, therefore, I take pleasure in making the 

 motion to include the dues. It would certainly greatly simplify the 

 work of the secretary. 



President Sanderson: If I may suggest; this is simply giving us a 

 year to consider the question, and with seventy-five members present 

 next year, they might consider it very differently. Motion was carried.
