INDIANA HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 321 



Mr. Johnson: Doubtless this information can be obtained at the Uni- 

 versity, and if the Society wishes to have it inserted in the report I shall 

 take steps to secure it and insert it. 



On motion Mr. Johnson was instructed to obtain this Information and 

 insert it in his report. 



Mr. Hale: 1 have followed the reading of the report closely, but it is 

 not clear to my mind whether the number of students in the Agricul- 

 tural Department is given. 



Mr. Johnson: No; the total number of students in all departments 

 was given. 



Mr. Kingsbury: I suggest that that also be incorporated in the re- 

 port. The number of both agricultural and horticultural students should 

 be given. 



Mr. .Johnson: Professor Troop is here; perhaps he can give you now 

 the information you wish. 



Mr. Troop: I can not give the exact figures from memory, but they 

 can be had from the University. 



Mr. Johnson: I want to say, iu addition to the report, that ir the 

 people of Indiana, especially the boys and young men, could see the new 

 Agricultural Building and the facilities for acquiring an agricultural and 

 horticultural education, I think the number of students in those depart- 

 ments would largely increase. It is certainly the finest building for the 

 purpose I have ever seen. I know that young men and young women 

 who have any disposition to master the two sciences of agi'iculture and 

 horticulture, if they could see the new buildings at Purdue University, 

 would want to go there. 



REPORT OP STATE ENTOMOLOGIST, 1902. 



PROF. JAMES TROOP. 



I suppose most of the members of this Society knoAV that the State 

 Entomologist is really a child of this Society, and conse(iuently his report 

 to this Society is lifting at this time. I suppose, too, that most of the 

 members understand the provisions of the law that was passed by the 

 Legislature four years ago. 



The main purpose of the nursery inspection law, as orginally passed, 

 was (1) to prevent the further introduction of injurous insects and fungus
