﻿PROCEEDINGS 
  OF 
  THE 
  FOURTH 
  ENTOMOLOGICAL 
  MEETING 
  67 
  

  

  previous 
  years, 
  hundreds 
  of 
  acres 
  of 
  paddy 
  would 
  have 
  been 
  saved 
  which 
  

   last 
  year 
  were 
  lost. 
  

  

  I 
  wish 
  to 
  express 
  my 
  gratitude 
  to 
  the 
  Revenue 
  Officials, 
  School- 
  

   masters, 
  the 
  Publicity 
  Bureau, 
  and 
  the 
  Co-operative 
  Societies, 
  and 
  

   especially 
  to 
  the 
  Honorary 
  Assistant 
  Registrar 
  and 
  to 
  all 
  land-owners 
  

   and 
  village 
  officers 
  who 
  gave 
  their 
  help. 
  

  

  SUMMAEY 
  OF 
  PUBLICITY 
  CAMPAIGN 
  AND 
  LeSSONS 
  LeARNT 
  ThFREFROM. 
  

  

  1. 
  In 
  all 
  over 
  570 
  amsmns 
  were 
  visited. 
  

  

  2. 
  The 
  newspaper 
  advertisement 
  was 
  not 
  attended 
  with 
  the 
  success 
  

   deserved 
  by 
  the 
  manner 
  in 
  which 
  it 
  was 
  done. 
  

  

  3. 
  It 
  would 
  be 
  better 
  on 
  another 
  occasion 
  to 
  advertise 
  the 
  lectures 
  

   by 
  coloured 
  posters 
  and 
  leaflets 
  only 
  a 
  day 
  or 
  two 
  before 
  the 
  lecture 
  

   was 
  given 
  to 
  any 
  particular 
  mnsam 
  or 
  village. 
  

  

  4. 
  A 
  cinematograph 
  camera 
  would 
  be 
  invaluable 
  ; 
  not 
  only 
  could 
  

   control 
  methods 
  be 
  shown 
  actually 
  being 
  put 
  into 
  operation, 
  but 
  by 
  

   showing 
  one 
  or 
  two 
  films 
  of 
  general 
  interest 
  large 
  audiences 
  could 
  easily 
  

   be 
  collected. 
  

  

  5. 
  All 
  posting, 
  pasting, 
  etc., 
  should 
  be 
  done 
  by 
  the 
  Agricultural 
  

   Department 
  themselves 
  and 
  not 
  left 
  to 
  Revenue 
  Officers 
  who 
  already 
  

   have 
  a 
  multiplicity 
  of 
  duties. 
  

  

  6. 
  The 
  present 
  practice 
  of 
  distribution 
  of 
  leaflets, 
  at 
  least 
  of 
  those 
  

   dealing 
  with 
  crop 
  pests, 
  is 
  practically 
  useless 
  without 
  lectures 
  and, 
  

   whenever 
  possible, 
  demonstrations 
  at 
  the 
  same 
  time. 
  

  

  7. 
  Shortage 
  of 
  staff 
  and 
  the 
  difficulty 
  of 
  a 
  country 
  like 
  the 
  Madras 
  

   Presidency 
  where 
  four 
  or 
  five 
  different 
  languages 
  are 
  spoken 
  makes 
  

   th-e 
  task 
  of 
  providing 
  enough 
  lecturers 
  by 
  no 
  means 
  easy 
  for 
  a 
  campaign 
  

   on 
  such 
  a 
  large 
  scale. 
  

  

  8. 
  With 
  an 
  insect 
  like 
  Sfodoftera 
  mmiritia, 
  whose 
  appearance 
  at 
  any 
  

   particular 
  spot 
  cannot 
  be 
  depended 
  on, 
  a 
  vary 
  large 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  district 
  

   must 
  be 
  covered 
  so 
  that 
  all 
  may 
  be 
  warned. 
  

  

  9. 
  The 
  peculiar 
  conditions 
  of 
  Malabar 
  made 
  the 
  collection 
  of 
  audiences 
  

   difficult, 
  but 
  on 
  the 
  whole 
  a 
  good 
  deal 
  of 
  interest 
  was 
  shown 
  when 
  once 
  

   the 
  lecturer 
  began, 
  although 
  this 
  naturally 
  depended 
  largely 
  on 
  the 
  

   lecturer. 
  In 
  some 
  cases 
  this 
  interest 
  almost 
  amounted 
  to 
  enthusiasm.
