Hoagland, of Mercer County ; vice- 

 presidents, John Sunell, of Dauphin 

 County, and A. J. Lee, of Crawford 

 County ; secretary, W. J. Davis, 1st, 

 of Venango County. Among' those 

 present, and joining the society, were 

 J. R. Ely, president of the State Agri- 

 cultural Society, Mr. Ray, of West- 

 moreland County, P. Morris, editor of 

 the Practical Farmer, Dr. W. H. Eagle, 

 of Harrisburg, and others from the 

 central and eastern part of this State. 



The report of the meeting makes 

 very interesting reading, even now 

 after the lapse of 31 years. 



Mr. Hoagland reported that his colo- 

 nies paid him in honey and increase 

 $80 per colony, spring count, in 1873. 

 James Russell, the treasurer, of course 

 took charge of the funds of the society, 

 some $16 or $18. Would it not be well 

 for the present P. B.-K. A. to inquire 

 about the ex-treasurer of the society of 

 1873 7 W. J. Davis, 1st.

Fine Weatlier— Honey Searee. 



The weather is fine so far but dry. 

 There is not much hope for white 

 clover in this part of the country. 

 Honey is scarce now, and prospects are 

 for better prices. A. A. HousER.

Honey-Producers' Association Col- 

 lapsed. 



At a meeting of the stockholders of 

 the Central California Honey-Pro- 

 ducers' Association, held at Hanford 

 last Monday, it was decided to disin- 

 corporate the organization. The cause 

 of this move can not be accounted for 

 in any other way than to say that there 

 was a lack of confidence in the man- 

 agement. The condition of the busi- 

 ness for the past year looked bad, and 

 the stockholders did not want to take a 

 chance at being run seriously into 



debt another year. At any rate, the 

 benefits received from the organization 

 were very slim. The collapse of the 

 association is of no credit to the man 

 who held the position of manager. — 

 Kingsbury [Calif.] Recorder, Dec. 14, 

 1904.
