426 ENTOMOLOGY 



R. C. Smith, with their efficient assistants, are carrying on the work 

 there. At the University of Kansas, Prof. S. J. Hunter is in charge of 

 entomological work. 



Iowa. At Ames, Iowa, Prof. H. E. Summers was formerly state 

 entomologist, followed by R. L. Webster as acting state entomologist, 

 who was succeeded by Dr. E. D. Ball, now Director of Research of 

 the U. S. Department of Agriculture. All these men, with Dr. C. P. 

 Gillette (now of Colorado) and Prof. Herbert Osborn (now of Ohio), 

 have greatly aided entomological progress by their studies. 



Other States. The states just mentioned are those in which 

 economic entomology has long, been encouraged and developed. In 

 almost all the other states, however, the value of the science is at present 

 appreciated. In the following states the work of the entomologists who 

 are named has been especially noteworthy. Alabama: Dr. W. E. Hinds. 

 Delaware: Prof. E. D. Sanderson. Prof. C. O. Houghton. Florida: 

 Prof. P. H. Rolfs. Prof. H. A. Gossard. Idaho: Prof. J. M. Aldrich. 

 Indiana: Prof. W. S. Blatchley. Prof. J. J. Davis. Kentucky: Prof. 

 H. Garman. Louisiana: Prof. H. A. Morgan. Wilmon Newell. 

 Maryland: W. G. Johnson. Prof. T. B. Symons. Massachusetts: 

 Prof. C. H. Fernald. Prof. H. T. Fernald. Michigan: Prof. A. J. Cook. 

 Prof. R. H. Pettitt. Mississippi: Prof. G. W. Herrick. Prof. R. W. 

 Harned. Missouri: Prof. J. M. Stedman. Montana: Prof. R. A. 

 Cooley. Nebraska: Prof. L. Bruner. Prof. M. H. Swenk. Nevada: 

 Prof. S. B. Doten. New Hampshire: Dr. C. M. Weed. Prof. E. D. 

 Sanderson. Prof. W. C. O'Kane. New Mexico: Prof. C. H. T. 

 Townsend. Prof. T. D. A. Cockerell. North Carolina: Prof. F. 

 Sherman, Jr. Oregon: Dr. A. B. Cordley. South Carolina: Prof. A. F. 

 Conradi. Tennessee: Dr. H. A. Morgan. Washington: Prof. A. L. 

 Melander. West Virginia: Dr. A. D. Hopkins. Prof. L. M. Peairs. 



State Experiment Stations. The organization of State Agri- 

 cultural Experiment Stations in 1888, under the Hatch Act, gave 

 economic entomology an additional impetus. At present at least one 

 experiment station is in operation in every .state and territory; there 

 being stations in Alaska, Hawaii, Porto Rico, Virgin Islands, and 

 Guam. These stations, often in connection with state agricultural 

 colleges, maintain altogether more than two hundred workers in en- 

 tomology, and have issued a great number of bulletins upon injurious 

 insects. These publications are extremely valuable as a means of dis- 

 seminating entomological information, and most of them are based 

 upon the investigations of their authors.
