ENTOMOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS. 
STATEMENT OF MR. L. 0. HOWARD, CHIEF ENTOMOLOGIST, DIVI- 
SION OF ENTOMOLOGY, DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 
The CHarrmANn. Gentlemen, Doctor Howard is before us this morn- 
ing, from the Division of Entomology, Department of Agriculture. 
Now, Doctor, the first thing that presents itself to the committee is 
the proposed change of your division into a bureau. What, in your 
judgment, is the need of that? What do you expect to accomplish by 
it, other than you are accomplishing now 4 
Mr. Howarp. As a matter of fact, Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, 
we could do as much work under the division organization as I 
imagine we could under a bureau organization. And to confess the 
honest truth about the thing, the bureau has an advantage over the 
division in that it allows higher salaries to the principal officers—that 
is it, honestly. The divisional organization with the same amount of 
money could accomplish just about as much. 
Mr. Burteson. But it gives the head of a bureau more dignity and 
importance ? 
Mr. Howarp. Yes; it puts him on a par with men who are already 
holding scientific positions under the Government in branches which 
are of no greater importance. 
Mr. Burteson. I mean in scientific work? 
Mr. Howarp. Yes. I mean in scientitic work also. For example, 
you made, two years ago, the Division of Chemistry into a bureau. 
That division, at that time, carried no larger appropriation than the 
Division of Entomology does at present, and it seems to me that if 
you did it with one branch of the service on that plane, it ought prop- 
erly to be done with another. 
The Cuatrman. It has come about exactly as it was predicted on
