strawberry weevils, and of methods of combating certain forest tree insects. The 
program was concluded with a luncheon served on the grounds of the Dominion 
Experimental Farm at Summerland, B. C., an inspection of the Farm, and a trip 
through the orchard sections of the Okanagan Valley. This organization is by no 
means as formal as the length of its name would indicate. Its chief purposes are to 
afford its members the opportunity of becoming better acquainted with each other, 
and of getting the other fellow’s ideas about one’s own particular problem. Over 75 
members attended the meeting, including the following entomologists: Leroy Childs, 
Hood River, Ore.; N. L. Cutler, Vernon, B. C.; W. Downes, Victoria, B. C.; D. Duna- 
van, Toppenish, Wash.; Arthur Gibson, Ottawa; Eric Hearle, Banff, Alta.; Geo. R. 
Hopping, Vernon, B. C.; M. C. Lane, Toppenish, Wash.; A. L. Melander, Pullman, 
Wash.; E. J. Newcomer, Yakima, Wash.; Max M. Reeher, Forest Grove, Ore.; Max 
Ruhman, Vernon, B. C.; B. J. Thompson, Corvallis, Ore.; E. P. Venables, Vernon, 
B. C.; and P. N. Vroom, Vernon, B. C.
