To Contributor*.— All contributions will be considered and passed upon at our 

 earliest convenience, and as far as may be, will be published according to date of recep- 

 tion. Entomological News has reached a circulation, both in numbers and circumfer- 

 ence, as 'to make it necessary to put " copy" into the hands of the printer, for each number, 

 three weeks before date of issue. This should be remembered in sending special or im- 

 portant matter for certain i.ssue. Owing to low subscription rate, " extras"'will be charged 

 fot, and when they are wanted, it should be so stated on the MS. along with the number 

 desired. The receipt of all papers will be acknowledged. — Ed.

Mr. Philip Nell and Mr. C. W. Johnson have been trying to make in-

Having read the article in the April number of the News on peach yel- 

 lows and rosette, by W. H. Patton, I would like to ask if this gentleman 

 is correct, why is the government at Washington spending so much time 

 and money in trying to find the cause of peach yellows, as well as a 

 remedy? It seems to me the above article should be corrected in order 

 to avoid mistakes, or else the government ought to be notified of this 

 great discovery.— G. R. Pilate, Griffin, Ga. 



Some time ago I read an account of the different classes of insects rep- 

 resenting the different kind of governments, viz.: Ants representing 

 Democratic or Republican; Bees, the Monarchial; and Butterflies the 

 Anarchistic, etc., with the different explanations. Could you please let 

 me know or publish where I could have seen it? — Eugene R. Fischkr, 

 No. 2707 Winnebago St., St. Louis, Mo.
