OBJECTS OF THE ASSOCIATION OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGISTS. 



By Clarence P. Gillette, Fort Collins, Colo. 



No one regrets more than myself that our honored president and 

 genial friend. Professor Bruner, has found it impossible to be with us 

 on this occasion, or to prepare an address for our instruction and 

 entertainment. 



It is at the request of Professor Bruner and our worthy secretar}^ 

 that I am offering this hastily prepared substitute for a presidential 

 address, that we may appear to live up to our constitution and time- 

 honored custom.
