what can be accomplished by spraying. If spraying practice 

 can be improved upon, as has been suggested elsewhere, if in- 

 vestigations which will enable better spraying practices can be 

 instituted and completed, then the right relationship between 

 those who spray and the beekeeper is relatively assured. 



This opinion is not only local, but general. A letter from 

 Wesley Foster of Colorado, can again be quoted in which he 

 says: "I believe that education will win in the end." It would 

 seem, therefore, that the beekeepers' interests are to be fostered 

 if funds can be procured for the dissemination of useful informa- 

 tion concerning spraying practices. The writer would urge only 

 one more feature in the interest of the beekeepers, namely, 

 that experimentation and investigation be provided.
