Proceedings of the Eighth Annual Meeting of the Pacific 
Slope Branch of the American Association of 
Economic Entomologists 
The eighth annual meeting of the Pacific Slope Branch of the American 
Association of Economic Entomologists was held in the Y. M. C. A. Hut, 
University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California, September 
17-19, 1923. 
The meetings were called to order at 2:30 P. M. by Acting Chairman 
Roy E. Campbell in the absence of H. J. Quayle. A brief business 
meeting was held at the opening session, followed by several papers. 
The symposium idea was largely followed in the discussion of the topics 
and visits were made to the Nicotine Dust Factory of the California 
Sprayer Co., Los Angeles; the State Insectary at Whittier; and the 
Liquid Cyanide Plant at Azusa. One session, Wednesday afternoon, 
September 19, was a joint meeting with the Pacific Division of the Plant 
Physiological Section of the Botanical Society of America, the Pacific 
Division of the American Phytopathological Society, and the Ecological 
Society of America. The meetings closed with a very enjoyable banquet 
held at the University Club at Los Angeles, where the chairman, R. E.
