AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 149 



should accompany the specimens, and the sender's name and address 

 should be upon the package even if a separate letter is written. 

 We sometimes receive several packages the same day and if not 

 plainty marked we are unable to tell from whom they come. 



Directions for sending specimens will be found in the Annual 

 Report of the Experiment Station, 1888, p 194, or in Maine 

 Agricultural Report, 1888, p. 158. Correspondence regarding 

 injurious insects and fungi is invited. Insects and plants will be 

 named, and when injurious, remedies suggested. It is to the 

 interest of farmers to detect injurious insects and fungi before they 

 become established, so that remedial measures can be adopted 

 before the pests are beyond control. As the Entomologist's duties 

 prevent him from going much about the State, it is largely through 

 correspondence that the Station learns of insects doing injury in 

 the State.
