Abstract

One of the first problems which confronts the economic entomologist is that of choosing wisely his field of activity. Some problems have been overworked and others have been seriously neglected. Considerable judgment should be exercised in determining the attitude one should take toward a newly introduced insect. A present need is for more basic, fundamental research, but this line of endeavor is not likely to reach its highest state of development until financial support is placed upon a more stable foundation, possibly through the avenue of endowments. Two other problems are outstanding: (1) Improvement in experimental technique, particularly as it applies to field plot work, and (2) a more perfect correlation of entomological activities within the area served by the members of this Association.
