SUMMER NUMBER ( 
This pest is not in Florida. It is estimated that it would even- 
tually cost approximately $3,500,000 to spray the 21,000,000 
citrus trees now in Florida three times per year in order to 
control it if introduced. This is 100 times the amount of money 
that the State Plant Board now spends annually to keep it and 
other insects and diseases out, and to keep those already in 
from further spreading. This estimate does not include the cost 
of eradicating canker. 
Among the bulletins recently put out by the Fla. Ag. Exp. 
Station are Bul. 134 on Florida Truck and Garden Insects, and 
Bul. 186 on the Control of Root-knot by Cyanamid. 
Mr. H. L. Dozier, Laboratory Assistant in the Dept. of En- 
tomology of the Expt. Station, and a charter member of our 
Society, has accepted a position with the U. S. Bur. of Ento- 
mology and is located at Columbia, 8. C. Mr. Dozier took his 
master’s degree in entomology at the University in June. His 
thesis, “An Ecological Study of the Piney Woods and Hammock 
Insects of the Gainesville Region,’ may be found in the Uni- 
versity Library. 
Mr. A. C. Mason, also a charter member of this Society, is 
now with the Federal Horticultural Board, U. S. D. A., and is 
located at Laredo, Texas. 
Prof. H. S. Davis, the vice-president of our Society, will spend 
the summer vacation at the U. S. Bur. of Fisheries Laboratory 
at Fairport, Iowa. 
Our Society has already contributed two members to the 
military forces of the nation. 
Professor W. S. Blatchley, author of “Coleoptera of Indiana” 
and “Rhyncophora of the Eastern United States,”’ addressed the 
Florida Entomological Society at Gainesville on the evening of 
February 5th. The subject presented was “Bug Hunting as a 
Pastime.” Professor Blatchley is not a newcomer to Florida, 
and now spends a part of each year at his winter home at Dun- 
edin. Other books written by him are “Boulder Reveries,” 
“Woodland Idyls,” and his well-known Florida book, “A Nature 
Wooing at Ormond-by-the-Sea.” 
March 29, 30 and 31, the Association of Cotton States Ento- 
mologists held their meetings at the University of Florida. 
Timely topics in regard to plant quarantine regulations were 
discussed. Besides entomologists, many of whom have charge 
of inspection and quarantine work, other chiefs of inspection 
departments of other states, including those in charge of Citrus 
Canker eradication, were present. The district inspectors in the
