REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS 
1. Resolved, That the Insect Pest Survey is and may continue to be of much 
benefit to entomologists and crop producers, and that it should be continued over a 
period of years and perfected to bring it to its maximum degree of efficiency. 
2. Resolved, That the Secretary consider the advisability of grouping together 
papers on allied subjects, and that two or more groups of this association may be 
held simultaneously so as to permit more time for the discussion of papers, and also 
that he arrange for a symposium on subjects of personal or general interest to the 
members of the association as a whole. 
3. Resolved, That it is the sense of this association, that a uniform United States 
tag should be required to permit interstate movement of nursery stock and that the 
machinery necessary to the qualifying inspection should be worked out co-operatively 
between the United States Department of Agriculture and the authorities of the vari¬ 
ous states. 
4. Resolved, That this association favors continued co-operation between the 
United States and Canadian Governmental authorities for the control of imported 
insect pests and also between the Federal authorities and the States for the same pur¬ 
pose. 
5 Resolved, That this association Recognizes at this time that the Japanese Beetle 
is a very serious menace to the agriculture and horticulture of the United States, 
and urges that every possible effort be made to restrict its spread. 
6. Resolved, That this association records itself as favoring the plan of maintain¬ 
ing a barrier zone extending from Long Island Sound to the Canadian border, west 
of which the gipsy moth shall not be allowed to establish itself, and that a similar 
barrier zone be maintained in Canada. 
7. Resolved, That this association appreciates the serious menace offered by the 
continued spread of the European Corn Borer and favors the expenditure of all the 
available means and resources which promise to prevent or delay the spread of this 
insect to the corn belt areas, especially careful quarantine administration and repres¬ 
sive work in the western infested areas surrounding Lake Erie are believed to be par¬ 
ticularly important, also the possibility of commercial spread of the insect from the 
two generation colony in New England to the corn belt states should be given proper 
consideration. 
8. Resolved, That this association expresses its high appreciation regarding the 
very instructive exhibits, particularly of the gipsy moth and European Corn Borer. 
Such exhibits are of great educational value and should be arranged in connection 
with these meetings wherever and whenever possible.
