SUMMER NUMBER 9 
Demonstration Agent (dues paid); and two professional ento- 
mologists (dues paid). 
It is known that at least one of the movers of the resolution 
of February 23, while on a trip in the state in June, advised on 
the matter with one or more of his assistants in the Sand Hill 
country. Seven responded (three addressing their letters in 
care of their boss) ; the next largest number also responded in 
perfect harmony; the two canker inspectors and an ex-canker 
inspector addressed their letters in care of their boss and ex-boss. 
One writer is “Looking down through the annals of ento- 
mology”; another, quite poetical himself, accuses the editor of 
bursting forth in poetry, but fails to observe that the editor was 
responsible for neither the poetry on page 72 nor the remarks 
on page 60. Another ‘would want a good english word”’. 
Now that we are dignified, will the movers of the resolution of 
February 23 see to it that the delinquent ones pay up their dues 
and the non-members become members of the Society? 23.—
