PACIFIC COAST ENTOMOLOGICAL CONFERENCE

APRIL 20 TO 23, 1909

The insect problems of the Pacific slope are so different from
those on the other side of the Rocky Mountains, that a special
organization of Western Entomologists is necessary to secure a
satisfactory discussion of our peculiar problems. With the hope
that such an organization might be organized, the entomologist of
this experiment station desires to invite all interested in the eco-
nomic entomology of this region to assemble in convention at the
University of California on the twentieth to twenty-third of April.

The following preliminary programme has been arranged. We
cannot give, at the present time, more than a portion of the titles
of the papers to be read, since many who have promised to be
present and present papers have not as yet given us the titles of
the same. Those given below will be sufficient, however, to indi-
cate that it will be a very profitable occasion:

SPECIAL SHORT COURSE IN
HORTICULTURE.

April 26 to May 21, 1909.

Since the law providing for county horticultural commissioners
and inspectors as recently amended requires the holding of exami-
nations to secure lists of eligibles from which the Supervisors of
each county shall make appointment, the Agricultural Department
of the University desiring to assist in making this new requirement
accomplish the purpose intended by the legislature has provided
as supplementary to the above conference the course of instruc-
tion outlined below, to afford instruction of a more elementary
character.

It must not be supposed that this course is sufficient to prepare
a prospective horticultural officer for the duties contemplated by
this act, but it will certainly aid him by supplementing his present
knowledge, and will serve as a thorough review of the subject
that will place in a concrete and available form some of the infor-
mation, concerning which the examining commission will be liable
to ask, in order to judge of the candidate's qualification.

No charge whatever is made for tuition in this course and no
entrance requirement will be insisted upon except that the student
must be at least 18 years of age. Students in this course are regis-
tered as special short course students of the Agricultural Department.

THE INSTRUCTION.

The work presented in this course is calculated to cover as fully
as possible the problems of the work of the commissioner and
inspector and in a thoroughly practical manner. The mornings
will be chiefly occupied by lectures, the afternoons by laboratory
work, and the evenings by library work or by special lectures on
more general topics.

ule of exercises, attention is called to the following series of lec-
