THE INDIANA branch MEETING, TO BE HELD IN 

 THE PALM ROOM, CLAYPOOL HOTEL, INDIAN- 

 APOLIS, JAN. 24. 



The foul-brood conditions in Indiana — what has 

 been accomplished, and what we expect to accom- 

 plish in eradicating it or checking it in Indiana. — 

 C. H. Baldwin, State Entomologist, asisted by B. P. 

 Kindig, of Elkhart, and others. 



The outlook for Indiana honey production, and 

 developing honey resources. — D. W. Erbaugh, Ernest 

 R. Root, and others. 



Marketing Indiana honey — Extracted, John Bull, 

 Valparaiso ; Comb, Geo. W. Williams, Mrs. Proper, 

 and others. i 



Co-operation and Organization, E. B. Tyrrell, 

 Detroit, Sec. National Association. 



We have invited Geo. DeMuth, Dr. Phillips, C. 

 P. Dadant, and fully expect some of them to attend. 

 We are expecting a live meeting. We are making a 

 special effort to develop more fully Indiana honey 

 resources. We are realizing that Indiana buys car- 

 load after carload of honey every year that is really 

 inferior to our own product. 



We want every Indiana beekeeper who can do so 

 to confer with us and remedy this condition as far 

 as possible. When we can have the honey for the 

 gathering, and a market at our doors, there is no 

 excuse for importing any honey at all. Let's get 

 together and furnish it ourselves.
