 constitute its platform of principles. 



First—Uniform quality of product, honestly graded and attractively displayed 



Second— A system of distribution that will protect the local producer, and pre- 

 vent Hooding one district and leaving others bare. 



Third— A system of crop reports that will give accurate, detailed, and trust- 

 worthy information as to crop conditions in all sections promptly and intelligently 



Fourth— An efficient method of presenting facts and reasons for the wider use 

 of honey in cooking, in the arts, manufactures, and on the table, to the people who 

 who would use it if they knew. 



Fifth— An association of beekeepers who will carry these things forward to a 

 successful consummation.
