APPROPRIATION ACT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 1935 
The Act making appropriations for the Department of Agriculture 
for the fiscal year 1935 was signed by the President on March 26, 1934. 
This Act establishes in the Department the Bureau of Entomology 
and Plant Quarantine, which is formed by the consolidation of the Bu- 
reau of Plant Quarantine with the Bureau of Entomology, including 
those branches of the Bureau of Plant Industry administratively trans- 
ferred thereto several months ago, as indicated in the Monthly Letter 
for December 1933. Work transferred from the Bureau of Plant Industry 
is combined in the Division of Plant Disease Eradication and Control, 
and this arrangement will be unchanged by the formal incorporation of 
this unit into the new Bureau, 
The administrative offices of the Bureaus of Entomology and Plant 
Quarantine will be consolidated. A new unit, known as the Division of 
Control Investigations, will be established. This will be composed of 
the present technological unit of the Bureau of Plant Quarantine, which 
is concerned with the coordination and standardization of methods of 
disinfection of plants and plant products, and the unit, at present 
carried under the item "Identification and Classification of Insects" 
in the Bureau of Entomology, engaged in work in Physiology and Toxi- 
cology. With these exceptions the subject-matter divisions of both 
Bureaus will retain their present titles and functions, the only dif- 
ference in organization set-up being that they will all be included 
under the one Bureau,
