EXHIBIT OF J. i\r. 



BUCHANAN, FRANKLIN, TENN., AT TENNESSEE STATE FAIR, NASH- 

 VILLE, OCTOBER, 1909. 



the most attractive exhibits on the grounds. 

 As usual, the number of exhibitors was 

 not large; it seems to be this way at most 

 of the fairs, even where a liberalpremium 

 list is found. It is somewhat to be regret- 

 ted that more bee-keepers do not interest 

 themselves in making exhibits, for, even 

 though the premiums awarded will scarcely 

 l)ay for the time and labor expended, it 

 must be remembered that in no other way 

 can such an opportunity be found for edvi- 

 cating the public regarding the use of hon- 

 ey. 



Due to the efforts of the exhibitors and 

 superintendent, a very fine general exhibit 

 was found last year in the Agricultural 

 Huilding at Xasli'ville: and by the efforts of 

 these same men and the Tennessee Bee- 

 keepers' Association, the Tennessee State 

 Fair has ad<)])ted quite a model premium 

 list. It is none too early for bee-keepers to 

 begin to lay their plans for fall exhibits. A 

 list of i)remiums awarded will, we believe, 

 be of interest to readers, not only in Ten- 

 nessee but in other States.
