TROPICAL AND SUBTROPICAL PLANT INSECT INVESTIGATIONS 
A. C. Baker, Senior Entomologist, “in Charge 
’ Ground has been broken for a new building for the Tropical Insect 
work in New Orleans. It will contain office and laboratory quarters, a cold 
room controlled by a refrigeration plant, greenhouse end insectary units, and 
a shop for the construction of special apparatus. Storage space is provided 
for spray machinery and other field equipment, and two acres adjacent to the 
buildings are allotted for special experimental plots. The laboratory will 
contain a battery of incubators and other special apparatus for study under 
controlled conditions, and full equipment will be provided for the statisti- 
cal analysis of data gathered in field experimentation where conditions are 
not under control, Thus factors developed by an analysis of the varying con- 
ditions in the field can be studied in parallel series under control in the 
laboratory,
