 Dear Sir:— 



I'or tlu' benefit of those (lesirin,:; to 

 attend the meeting of the National 

 r.ee-keepers' Association at Ix)9 Ange- 

 les. August lS-2(), Mould say that no 

 one need stay nway through fear of 

 lack of hotel accommodations. There 

 are over two hundred hotels and lodg- 

 ing houses in the city and restaurants 

 galore. 



Prices for board and lodging at first 

 class hotels range from two to five or 

 six dollars per day. Lodging room 

 with good bed about fifty cents per 

 night. Meals at restaurants from 

 fifteen cents up — a good meal can lie 

 had for twenty-five cents. 



Perhaps the most satisfactory way 

 is to hii*e a room and talve your meals 

 at a restaurant when and where you 

 please. There are perhaps a dozen 

 good hotels within a radius of three 

 blocks of the hall where the meetings 

 will be held and it is in contemplation 

 to select one of these as a kind of 

 liead(iuarters for bee-keepers and their 

 friends. ILaving a very hazy idea as 

 to how many of you mav come from 



"liack east,"' I suggest tliat those wisli- 

 ing reservations made write the under- 

 signed, stating what they want - 

 whe;lier lio.ard and lodging or board 

 or lodging alone, giving ulso limit of 

 cost to l)e incurred. All communica- 

 tions of this nature will liave promirt 

 attention and will send you card of 

 ln)ns(> will K located an<l you can come 

 wlien you please. If advised wIkmi 

 yon will aiTlve there will bo some o\m 

 at the train to meet and care for yon. 



Fraternally,

MICHHiAN r,AW IN RKCAKI) TO SPRAYING 



TREES WHILE IN BLOOM IS 



SADLY DEFECTIVE. 



'I'hi' law in Michigan iii regard to 

 llu> sp]-aying of trees, says that trees 

 infected with disease or Insects must 

 be sprayed, but not when in bloom, 

 (except in case of canker worm. No 

 penalty is provided for in case tlie law 

 is violated, but lids is not a seri(nis 

 defect, as there Is a general law thiit 

 makes the violation of a statute a 

 ndsdemeanor. Tlie weak point is 

 wliere spraying is allowed when trees 

 are in bloom, if said spraying Is done 

 for canker worms. This opens the 

 gate for spraying at any time, na it 

 is an (>asy matter for any orchardlst 

 to assert tliat he is si)raylng for cank- 

 er uorms, and it would be a dlflficult 

 matter, many times, to prove that Ro 

 was not. Thie is much in the same 

 line as the attempt to have incorporat- 

 ed into the New York law a clause al- 

 lowing spraying while trees were in 

 bloom, if done for experimental pnr- 

 I'oses. Every man could spray when 

 trees were in bloom, and say he was 

 doing it for experimental purposes.
