Excerpt from Journal of Economic Entomology, 1918, Vol. 11: Official Organ American Association of Economic Entomologists The kind of organization of official entomology in the states has for the most part been determined by personalities and the personal wishes of those who were present in the state rather than in conformity to a nation-wide plan. I do not wish to be understood as advocating an effort at this time toward radical and rapid change of organizations though we may profit by observing plain principles of efficiency in any changes that may come up in the future, and it certainly is true that our profession would be better understood and of greater service if our organizations were less confusing to the public, to state officials, and even to ourselves. At any rate, now that we have the opportunity we will do well in setting up an extension organization to follow well formulated plans and to be as uniform as possible. For the purpose of securing authentic information regarding the status of organized state extension work, especially that under the smith-lever Act, a questionnaire was addressed to the several states. This has elicited information, which is tabulated on page 20. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
