LIFE HISTORY STUDIES ON THE CODLING MOTH. 
By C. P. GILLETTE, Fort Collins, Colo. 
FELLOW-WORKERS: It is nosmall honor that you confer upon Colo- 
rado in coming for the first time to the Queen City of the West at the 
beginning of the new century—the Utopian century for all true sci- 
entific thought and the highest human development. Never before 
have you met so far away from the time-honored centers of learning 
in the East. To-day we are met at the very feet of the Rocky Moun- 
tains and in plain view of their eternal snows, which give freshness 
to our mountain air and unite the waters that feed the two oceans 
that wash our shores. You have not come in search of health or pleas- 
ure, aS many do, but in the interest of science, whose one object is to 
search out the abiding truths of the Creator; and that branch of sei- 
ence which has for its object to make ‘‘two spears of grass grow where 
one grew before.” The object is a most worthy one. May our ses- 
sions in this place be marked with an unusual degree of harmony and 
enthusiasm, which shall cause each to return to his field of labor with 
a new and deeper interest in his work.
