Memorandum: — This account of the state entomologist has been duly 

 audited by the State Auditors of Public Accounts. 



Office Force and Field Organization. 



Throughout the two years covered by this report the state 

 entomologist has been assisted by Mr. B. H. Walden as general 

 assistant, who has had charge of the office in the absence of the 

 entomologist; by Mr. G. H. Hollister, who has had charge of 

 the field work of suppressing the gypsy moth; by Miss E. B. 

 Whittlesey, who has been employed as stenographer and clerical 

 assistant in the office. Messrs. Walden and Hollister have each 

 year helped in the inspection of nurseries, and Mr. S. P. Hollister 

 also assisted in this work for a few days during 1908. Miss 

 Beatrice Ross was employed for two weeks on extra clerical work 

 in January, 1908. All of these assistants have served faithfully 

 and willingly, and they have contributed in no small measure to 

 the success of the work of this office. 



In the gypsy moth work at Stonington, Mr. Hollister has 

 employed chiefly local help, and has been given full authority to 

 hire or discharge anyone according to his judgment. About 

 twenty men were kept at work cutting brush and turning bands 

 during June and July, 1907, but in 1908 most of the brush had 

 been cut and less than ten men were employed.
