The general session of the Eleventh Annual Meeting was opened at 3.15 p.m.' 

 in the Biology Building by the President, Professor Lochhead. 



In the absence of Dr. Harrison, Professor Lochhead welcomed the visiting 

 delegates to Macdonald College and extended to them its hospitality. 



The President's address and all the papers presented are printed in detail in 

 the body of the Report. Several of the papers were well illustrated by lantern 

 slides, maps and photographs. The evening lecture was given by Dr. W. H. 

 Rankin, of Cornell University. Dr. Rankin dealt with "Efficiency Factors in 

 Potato Spraying" in a very timely and instructive address. One of the most 

 interesting features was an account of community spraying for potatoes as prac- 

 tised in parts of the State of New York.
