men of considerable practical knowledge of the various l)ranches of 

 agriculture and a thorough grounding in entomology and related 

 subjects. Fortunately our Agricultural Colleges are turning out such 

 men, but the demand is still greater than the supply. 



In order to cope with the work in hand, new lines of investigation 

 are being followed. For example, trained men are now located at field 

 stations in infested areas where they are al3le to study the pests at work, 

 learn their habits and life-history, and work out efïective methods of 

 control. Attention is being given also to the l^reeding of parasitic in- 

 sects which prey upon injurious forms with the hope of restoring the 

 balance which has been disturbed. Along these lines the Society with 

 its many trained men is doing active work. 



The fort3'-ninth annual meeting of the Society was held in the 

 Carnegie Libraiy, Ottawa, November 19th and 20th last, with a large 

 attendance of members present. An account of the papers read will
