Mr.. Craw has been entomoEogisT of
the department for several years, and
previous to that was entomologis1 for
the Department of Horticulture OF

after the creation of the present Board

his professional standing. For many
years he has been eminent in his pro-
fession, especially in the department
of applied entomology.
Mr.. Craw's health has been falling
for more than a year and about four
months ago he was given a vacation
and went to the Coast in the hope that
his health would be improved. Re
ports from San Francisco regarding
his health have not been very encour-
aging. His death occurred at Ray
mond, California, at the home of his
brother T. Craw. He leaves a widow
and two sons.
His death creates a vacancy in the
office of Territorial Entomologist. Who
will be appointed in his place has not
yet been determined.
