But that particular point, Mr. Chairman, I think has 

 already been very fully covered by what President Beach 

 and Professor Jarvis have said. The main thing that I 

 wanted to say is that while we may not get very much 

 in the light or in the public eye, the Agricultural College 

 and the two Stations want it very distinctly understood 

 that they are in line, that they propose to work harmo- 

 niously and for the good of the agriculture of the state on 

 this matter, and they invite you of the Pomological So- 

 ciety, and the members of the other agricultural organiza- 

 tions to get into line and to work with us, not for any 

 selfish interest of your own, but for the general advance- 

 ment of Connecticut agriculture. (Applause). 



President Gold: The Secretary has an announce- 

 ment which he will make at this time before we take up 

 the next lecture. 



Secretary Miles announced regarding the banquet 

 tickets, railroad certificates and membership in the So- 

 ciety, urging all present to become members. 



President Gold: We are to have the pleasure at 

 this time of listening to Professor E. D. Sanderson, who 

 has been Professor of Entomology in The New Hamp- 

 shire Agricultural College, and a gentleman who is a 'ead- 

 ing authority on the subject on which he is going to speak 

 to us this morning; a man who has made a thorough 

 study of insect pests, and I am sure he will present the 

 subject to you in an interesting and instructive way. I 

 have the pleasure of introducing to you Prof. E. D. San- 

 derson, of Durham, N. H.
