CORRESPONDENCE: During 1909 the entomologist dictated 
2,149 letters, in large part answers to inquiries regarding insect 
pests. In addition 774 circular letters were mailed, and about 2,000 
circulars and press bulletins, exclusive of the station mailing list. 
This does not include the Twelfth Report, which was sent out to 
approximately 700 addresses in addition to copies mailed to comply 
with individual requests. Bulletin 112, which was practically a 
duplication of the Twelfth Report, was sent from the Experiment 
Station mailing office to something like 15,000 addresses. In 1910 
we mailed 2,461 letters, answering inquiries, in addition to over 
1,000 circulars. 
Lectures: In 1909 a few lectures were given by the entomolo- 
gist in the northern part of the state (notably one on December Ist 
to farmers at Red Lake Falls) in regions which had suffered that 
year from attacks of grasshoppers. In Ig10 one lecture was deliv- 
ered January 14th at Duluth, and lecture appointments for the next 
eight weeks have already been made, as follows: December 6th, 
State Horticultural Society, Minneapolis; December 12th, Boy 
Scouts, Minneapolis; December 21st, Agricultural College, Crooks- 
ton; December 28th, Entomological Society of America, Minne- 
apolis meeting; January 21st, Boys’ Club, Minneapolis. Lectures 
were given, both in 1909 and Ig10, to students in the Farmers’ 
Short Course at the Agricultural College.
