JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY 
[Vol. 16 
I suggested that he consult the members of his society and I would 
consult this association in regard to the matter. I think it would be 
well to get an expression from the members here as to what they would 
like for a symposium at a joint meeting. 
President J. G. Sanders: It seems to me that we can find some topic 
for discussion next year that would be beneficial to both societies. 
Mr. W. C. O’Kane: I was one of those who was very much in favor 
of a joint meeting with the Phytopathologistl I do not believe we 
necessarily need to have a joint meeting every year unless there is

Mr. W. E. Britton: I move a vote of thanks to the President for 
presiding so nicely at this meeting and making so many suggestions for 
our mutual benefit. 
Carried. 
President J. G. Sanders expressed his thanks to the association and 
also his appreciation of the work done by the Secretary in making the 
meeting a success. 
He then requested Past Presidents Felt and Cooley to escort Mr. 
A. G. Ruggles, President-elect, to the Chair. 
He then presented him with the gavel belonging to the association and 
wished him success during the coming year. 
President-Elect Ruggles thanked the association and promised 
to use his best efforts for the benefit of the association. 
Secretary A. F. Burgess: I move that the time and place of the
