AMERICAN SCIENTISTS AHEAD
Research by United States Experts
of Value to AL Other
Countries.

There was received yesterday at the
Department of Agriculture collection
of specimens from the British committee
on research in entomology. The speci-
mems were nearly all parasite insects
from Africa, and had been sent to the
bureau Of entomology for identification.
That is doubtless because the United
States government has the largest coll
lection of parasite insects in the world.
and there are four specialists engaged in
the work of classification at the National
Museum all the time. The United States
has been recognized abroad as the lead
ing nation in economic entomology, and
applications are being continually receiv-
ed for aid from all of the larger powers
and many Of the smaller ones
These requests are always readily
granted, not only because Of the general
policy OF this government, but because
1t has resulted In putting the department
on terms of personal intimacy with all
the countries that are doing such re-
search work, and has enabled this coun-
