It will be noted that there is a substantial increase in many of the states during the 
past year and it is possible with the help of more entomologists who are in a position 
by acquaintance and contact with potential subscribers, to further increase the list 
during the coming year. 
I wish to thank all leaders for their cooperation and help during the year and at the 
same time to appeal for their continued aid during the ensuing year. We have 
realized a gain of 102 new subscriptions during 1922 and it is possible to make a 
better showing during the coming year in that many sources in some of the States and 
Provinces have not yet been intensively worked. 
Respectfully submitted, 
C. W. Collins, Circulation Agent 
President J. G. Sanders: We owe a vote of thanks to Mr. Collins 
for his fine work in increasing the number of subscriptions more than 100. 
I will now read the report of the Executive Committee.
