The appearance of number 11 of the Emergency Entomological 
Service, United States Department of Agriculture, reporting coopera¬ 
tion between Federal, State and Station Entomologists and other 
agencies, marks the beginning of a second season under war conditions. 
A timely summary such as this is invaluable to every economic ento¬ 
mologist, covering, as it does, all fields of activity and giving early 
.and reliable information regarding developments in adjacent states, 
as well as in more remote parts of the country, and it is to be hoped that 
this service may become a permanent feature. Information is of 
value largely in proportion to its timeliness and all too many reports 
and bulletins appear long after the insects they discuss have ceased, 
for the time being, pernicious activity. This emergency service— 
it should be designated seasonable service—remedies this difficulty 
in large measure and it may well be supplemented and extended by 
& somewhat modified local service in the various states, cooperating 
particularly with county agricultural agents and others in position to 
disseminate information and secure the effective adoption of preventive 
or control measures. The Liberty Loan and Red Cross have set high 
standards in cooperation. It is all for the same cause. Can entomol¬ 
ogists secure, in their own lines, relatively as good results?
