A conference of North Central States Official Entomologists was held at the Ohio 
State University, Columbus, Ohio, March 6 and 7, 1924. This conference was for 
the purpose of correlating the research and extension programs in the north central 
states. Projects in progress, or to be undertaken, were discussed. The European 
Corn Borer program was of most general interest of the topics under discussion. 
Plans for investigation and control work in Ohio were discussed. Entomologists of 
the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and the Bureau of Entomology will unite to 
carry out an intensive corn borer clean-up campaign. This will be made in northern 
Ohio counties April 14 to 26. Among other subjects discussed were: Hessian fly 
and chinch bug problems, oil emulsions, cyanide and nicotine dusts, potato leaf- 
hopper control and the Mexican bean-beetle. H. A. Gossard was chosen Chairman 
and T. H. Parks Secretary of this meeting. The following entomologists were

Dr. J. F. Illingworth, formerly professor of entomology in the University of 
Hawaii, after spending four years in Australia on a special investigation of the 
pests of sugar cane for the Queensland Government, returned to his home at Hono¬ 
lulu. There he was appointed research associate in entomology at the Bishop 
Museum, which is his permanent address. At present Dr. Illingworth is engaged as 
specialist on the Green Japanese Beetle problem, by the U. S. Department of 
Agriculture, and is traveling in the Orient. The past season was spent in a general 
survey of this pest in Japan, where, unfortunately, he lost all his equipment in the 
Yokohama catastrophe. Since Dr. Illingworth is to investigate Chinese territory 
during the coming season, he has selected Shanghai as temporary headquarters, 
care of the American Consul,
