Abstract
DR. GORDON HEWITT'S recent report is an encouraging record of useful work. It forms a noteworthy testimony of his capability as an administrator and, at the same time, reflects great credit upon the Canadian Department of Agriculture in its wise provision for the needs of combating insect pests. In any such organisation as the Canadian Entomological Branch success to a large extent is dependent upon the individual capabilities and enthusiasm of field officers and assistants. Dr. Hewitt is indeed fortunate in having an excellent staff, comprising men well qualified to deal with the various problems first hand, wherever they may be reported. During the year under review four new entomological field laboratories have been erected in several parts of Canada; this in itself is a praiseworthy achievement. An addition to the permanent staff has also been made in the appointment of Dr. A. E. Cameron. Dr. Cameron is a former research scholar of our own Board of Agriculture, and conducted investigations in the Department of Agricultural Entomology at Manchester University.
