efforts along the same line in 1923. Printed circulars describing the scope and use¬ 
fulness of the Journal to which a subscription order blank;was attached have been 
distributed by the leaders and myself to all possible subscribers thought to be 
interested. 
A considerable number of subscribers were secured in 1922 who later found them¬ 
selves not sufficiently interested in economic entomology, consequently dropped the 
publication after one year. We all realize that a specific scientific journal of this 
kind has its circulation limits. Our best prospect of increased circulation (as has 
been principally in the past) seems to be among domestic and foreign educational 
institutions to do with agriculture, city public libraries, and men entering the field 
of entomology as a livelihood. Let every member of this Association bear this in 
mind and feel it his duty to interest a new subscriber in any case where he feels that a 
potentiality has been overlooked. Such cooperation is for the mutual benefit of us 
all—netting more money for a bigger and better Journal. 
The following table shows the total domestic and foreign subscribers in 1913. 
1921, 1922 and 1923.
