S. A. Rohwer, assistant chief of the 
Plant Quarantine and Control Ad¬ 
ministration, United States Depart- 
ment of Agriculture, has been select¬ 
ed by Secretary Hyde and Dr. L, C. 
Marlatt, chief of the Bureau of Ento¬ 
mology, to become assistant chief of 
the Bureau of Entomology, an office 
made vacant recently by the resigna¬ 
tion of John E. Graf. Mr. Rohwer 
will take up his new duties April 1. 
Secretary Hyde, in commenting on 
the appointment, said: “Mr. Rohwer 
has made a rare contribution to the 
important regulatory work of the 
Plant Quarantine and Control Ad¬ 
ministration. Lee A Strong, chief of 
that administration, although re¬ 
luctant to lose Mr. Rohwer’s services 
has concurred in order that the Bu¬ 
reau of Entomology might have an 
executive in the important position 
of assistant chief who is already 
familiar with the bureau’s manifold 
responsibilities.” 
Mr. Rohwer attended the University 
of Colorado, and entered the Bureau 
of Entomology in 1909. His first task 
was a study of forest tree insects. 
Later he was placed in charge Of this 
work for the eastern district of the 
United States.
