REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE 
European Corn Borer 
Members of the Executive Committee have been actively interested in furthering 
efforts to secure from Congress adequate funds with which to prosecute the campaign 
against the European Corn Borer. 
In this work your President felt it his duty to assist in whatever way lay in his 
power. With that intent he visited Washington several times in the early part of 
this year, in order to help set before Congressional committees the judgment of our 
Association as to the urgent need for adequate funds, and to further the efforts of 
the Bureau of Entomology to secure such funds. In carrying out this plan confer¬ 
ences were held with officers of the Bureau of Entomology and with members of the 
Senate and the House. A special meeting of the Senate Committee on Agriculture 
was arranged by means of which the resolution adopted by this Association at its 
last meeting, together with other information, was brought officially before the 
Committee and placed in the records. Through the joint efforts of your officers, 
with the American Plant Pest Committee, officers of the Bureau of Entomology and 
the Secretary of Agriculture, additional appropriations were set under way, but 
were lost in’the filibuster which ended the Congress that adjourned last spring.
