210 EIGHTEEi^TH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE 



SQUARE DEAL NEEDED. 



In closing, I want to make a special appeal to every bee-keeper in 

 the United States who has any occasion to buy honey, to get him away 

 from the idea of classing all the honey produced in Dixieland as 

 "Southern" honey. This term is applied to honey which is equal in 

 body, flavor and color to any produced elsewhere in the United States. 

 This should not be, and buyers of hone}^ in the North and elsewhere 

 who have the welfare of Dixie bee-keeping at heart, will aid all bee- 

 keepers of the south in seeing that this term is no longer applied, but 

 that honeys from the south are called by their own names such as tupelo, 

 palmetto and such terms, as are applied to white clover, alfalfa and 

 sage honeys of the north and west.
