 Senator Gebhardt, of Hunterdon Co., and is now in the hands of 

 the Committee on Agriculture, of which Senator George W. K. 

 Gaunt is chairman. It is now up to the bee-keepers of the State 

 to make their needs known to their law-makers. Let each bee- 

 keeper write at once to the assembly men and senator from their 

 respective counties, urging them to support this bill. Also write 

 to Senator G. W. F. Gaunt, asking him and the other members 

 of the committee to get the bill before the Senate. All law- 

 makers may be addressed at State-house, Trenton, New Jersey. 

 What we do must be done at once, for the legislature will adjourn
