Specimens will be ; submitted as soon as possible to i the entomologist at the Corvallis Agricultural College for classifica tion and for the discovery, if ! possible of some means for its ex termination. i The importance of the hop crop 'under present and prospective ' market conditions makes the ap- : nearance of a threatening pest a serious matter in this great center 1 of the hopgrowing industry.
