Up to May 30th of the present year injurious insects were 

 not unpleasantly numerous, the cold and rainy weather of that 

 month appearing to hold them in check. Cut worms, how- 

 ever, were fairly numerous during May, as were also wire 

 worms, and white grubs. 



During the year, from November ist, 1905, to November 

 22, 1906, the entomologist has written 1,739 letters, mostly 

 regarding injurious insects ; has mailed 442 postals, and issued 

 2,008 circulars containing information regarding certain espe- 

 cially destructive insects.
