  a

   Entomologist, 
  following 
  an 
  examination, 
  at 
  the 
  request 
  of 
  the 
  Com- 
  

   mittee, 
  of 
  their 
  operations. 
  As 
  the 
  result 
  of 
  the 
  examination 
  of 
  the 
  

   field 
  and 
  office 
  work, 
  and 
  at 
  the 
  Insectary, 
  nothing 
  was 
  found 
  to 
  criti- 
  

   cise. 
  Liberal 
  appropriations 
  by 
  the 
  State 
  Legislature 
  and 
  a 
  continu- 
  

   ance 
  of 
  the 
  work 
  of 
  the 
  Committee 
  were 
  recommended. 
  Two 
  

   suggestions 
  were 
  offered, 
  viz. 
  ; 
  that 
  the 
  entire 
  service 
  of 
  the 
  Entomol- 
  

   ogist, 
  Prof. 
  Fernald, 
  be 
  secured, 
  if 
  possible, 
  and 
  that 
  the 
  cultivation 
  

   of 
  parasites 
  be 
  entered 
  upon 
  and 
  vigorously 
  prosecuted, 
  somewhat 
  on 
  

   the 
  plan 
  of 
  which 
  an 
  outlire 
  is 
  given. 
  Possibly 
  by 
  this 
  means 
  only, 
  

   can 
  extermination 
  of 
  the 
  moth 
  be 
  effected.

  A 
  correspondent, 
  Mrs. 
  Chrisman, 
  states 
  that 
  rose-bugs 
  may 
  usually 
  

   be 
  traced 
  to 
  a 
  hatching 
  ground, 
  where 
  they 
  could 
  be 
  killed 
  by 
  the 
  

   apphcation 
  of 
  a 
  few 
  sacks 
  of 
  salt. 
  The 
  editor 
  requests 
  comment 
  on 
  

   the 
  above. 
  It 
  is 
  given 
  to 
  the 
  effect 
  that 
  the 
  correspondent 
  has 
  un- 
  

   doubtedly 
  been 
  successful 
  in 
  tracing 
  the 
  rose-bugs 
  in 
  her 
  neighborhood 
  

   to 
  a 
  common 
  hatching 
  ground 
  in 
  a 
  swamp, 
  and 
  draining 
  the 
  locality 
  is 
  

   suggested 
  as 
  a 
  remedy 
  for 
  the 
  continued 
  breeding. 
  Salt, 
  as 
  suggested, 
  

   may 
  prove 
  effectual, 
  and 
  it 
  vv^ould 
  be 
  well 
  to 
  experiment 
  with 
  it.
