it to the Directors, and in order to keep that class of our 

 members from further getting themselves and all of us into 

 more of those troubles, we decided to let them pay part of 

 that. Dr. Miller's motion at that time came up, and was 

 passed to let him pay half,. and I want to say it has reduced 

 the expenses of the Association a lot, and stopped a good 

 many promising lawsuits. The Association is doing, as it 

 has from the beginning — all possible to protect and defend 

 every member attacked in any unjust or illegal way, with in- 

 structions that we pay not to exceed one-half, or over $100, 

 without permission of the Board of Directors; and the 

 expenses on any case not to run up to over $200. 



On the other hand, that is only one of the things that 

 the Association has been doing. It hopes to continue to 

 help market the honey, and to get better packages to market 

 it in. I found to my sorrow that we have not a good stand- 

 ard for honey in the United States. On that point, I got 

 samples of 84 kinds at St. Louis last year, and had to pack 

 them before they were all in the shelves, to save them. 

 I could have sold that lot of samples and realized from them 

 a little profit, but I said, No, I have made arrangements to 

 divide those 84 samples and submit them to three of the 

 best chemists in the United States, one of them being in the 

 United States government department. They know them by 

 a number. We will have, in time, a chemical analysis by 

 3 expert chemists, of 84 kinds of honey. That is an analysis 



for the purity of the honey. From the reports I have got in 

 now, there is over 11 percent of difference. The worst of 

 all was from a sample of honey that has been held for a 

 term of years. 



Mr. Hershiser — I would like to know from Mr. France 

 whether there are many people who decline to join the Associa- 

 tion because the Association does not extend full protection to 

 them in case they get into trouble. I would like to ask, fur- 

 ther, if that is the case, if it would not be possible for the 

 Board of Directors to use their discretion as to whether a 

 person is entitled to any protection or not, instead of limiting 

 them to one-half. 



Mr. France — The motion defines this, but I was in- 

 structed to allow a variance according to the individual case. 

 In reply to the other part of your question, Have we gained 

 or lost members by this change in the line of paying one- 

 half of the members' costs? I desire to say we have gained 

 two members where we lost one. Many of them said, I 

 believe that is a good thing; the bee-keepers will be a little 

 careful as to what they are doing. 



Mr. Taylor — I may say in partial answer to Mr. Hershiser 

 that in case of necessity the Board of Directors would pay 

 more than one-half of the expenses. It depends upon the 

 case. They can use their own discretion. 



On motion, the convention closed at 10 o'clock p. m., to 

 meet at the call of the Executive Committee.

 storing much faster than others. He went 

 immediately to his red clover field, and saw 

 .bees working there freely."
