My Dear Governor Aronson: 



I am submitting herewith the Thirty-fifth Report of the State 

 Entomologist of Montana. This report contains information re- 

 garding the status of the more important insects and contra! programs. 

 A report on the goativeed beetle program is included. 



During the biennium 1.517 inquiries were answered concerning 

 insect identification, control, and general information: 79 meetings 

 were attended and 5.170 persons were co:itacted in this manner. In 

 addition. 79 publications, articles, and radio scripts were prepared 

 and released. 



It is apparent from the above figures that Montana residents 

 are becoming more aware of and more interested in their insect prob- 

 lems. This office has managed to meet these increased demands so 

 far. It is anticipated that the activities of this office will not be ex- 

 panded appreciably during the coming biennium. 



Respectfully submitted, 



James H. Pepper 

 State Entomologist
