Your committee on resolutions begs leave to report as follows: 
Resolved, That the Association as a body indorses and commends the 
work of the gipsy-moth committee, of the State of Massachusetts, in 
continuing the extermination of this pest. The Association also warmly 
indorses the quarantine work of the State Board of Horticulture of 
California as carried out under Mr. Craw, believing that by such efforts 
many foreign insect pests can be prevented from becoming established 
in this country. The Association is also in full sympathy with judi- 
cious national and State legislation for the purpose of enacting and 
enforcing laws to prevent the importation of foreign insect pests, and 
controlling or exterminating such as have become already established 
in this country. 
Resolved, That we request the honorable Secretary of Agriculture to 
publish the proceedings of this meeting, and that we express to him 
our hearty appreciation of such action in previous years. 
Resolved, That we express our thanks to the Ohio State University,
