ANNCUNCEMENT TO BURBAU WORKIERS 
With this number of the Monthly Letter, which covers the activities 
for September and October, there has been a change in the method of as- 
sembling items to be included. It is hoped that unedited notes selected 
from material supplied by division leaders will serve better to familiar- 
ize workers with investigations carried on in other units and laborato- 
ries than did recent issues which consisted largely of excerpts from 
monthly reports. It is expected that notes assembled in this way will 
be more pointed and useful than the abstractly informatory notes in- 
cluded in the monthly reports. acquaintance with others! problems should 
stimulate personal interest in the work of the Bureau as a whole. Items 
appearing in the Monthly Letter may suggest "leads" to the solution of 
your problems. The Monthly Letter ig, however, not for publication or 
distribution to other than Bureau workers without specific approval. The 
urgent need for practical solutions of important insect problems cannot 
be overstressed, and we should avoid following up interesting side lines- 
which have no direct bearing on assigned investigations. 
Questions in regard to any of the items reported are welcome and 
will be answered in. following issues if thought to be of interest to the 
Bureau as a whole; if of more limited interest, the answers will be by 
individual letters. 
This is your news letter ana with your cooperation it will be a 
truly representative house organ.
