Mr. E. Kretclinier, of Red Oak, 

 Iowa, has been appointed to take charge 

 of the World's Fair apiary exhibit from 

 the State of Iowa. For the exhibit in 

 the Iowa building it is desired to pur- 

 chase some choice white comb honey, 

 and he would like to hear from any Iowa 

 bee-keeper that has such ; or any Iowa 

 bee-keeper that desires to place choice 

 specimens into the Iowa exhibit, may, if 

 he desires, place his name thereon, as an 

 advertising medium. Mr. K. would like 

 to get the name and address of every 

 bee-keeper in the State, to whom a cir- 

 cular, giving further information, will 

 be mailed. Let Iowa bee-keepers re- 

 spond promptly. 



Xhie California State Bee-Keep- 

 ers' Association meets at the Chamber 

 of Commerce, in Los Angeles, on Tues-

 1893. The following is the interesting 

 list of subjects to be considered : 



Can We Develop New and Better 

 Methods for the Sale of Our Honey — J. 

 H. Martin. 



Bees i;s. Fruit — R. Touchton. 



Chemical Composition of Honey and 

 its Adulteration with Glucose and Cane

 ing — R. Wilkin. 



How Shall We Make Our Short Honey 

 Seasons Profitable? — M. D. Mendleson. 



Economy in Bee-Keeping — T. F. Arun- 

 dell. 



The evening session of the first day 

 will close with a general social buzz, in- 

 cluding vocal and instrumental music. 



Birds and Insects that are Injurious 

 to Bees and Fruit. — H. E. Wilder. 



Rise and Progress of California Bee- 

 Keeping, and the Aid it Should Receive 

 from the State University — W. A. Pryal. 



Honey-Plants of Southern California — 

 L. T. Rowley. 



San Francisco Honey-Markets — Wm.

The railroads will make their usual 

 reduction, and all wishing to avail them- 

 selves of lower rates should address the 

 Secretary at once for rebate certificates. 



Redlands, Calif. J. H. Maetin, Sec. 



Hon. Geo. £. Hilton, who is 



one" of Michigan's State representatives, 

 wrote us on Jan. 13, 1893, that the 

 Rules were suspended the day before, 

 and a Bill passed granting an additional 

 $50,000 for the purpose of making a 

 creditable exhibit at the World's Colum- 

 bian Exposition. The Bill takes im- 

 mediate effect. Agricultural exhibits 

 get $17,000 of this, and the bee-keep- 

 ing department expects $1,000, which 

 will enable them to make a creditable dis- 

 play. Mr. Hilton, we are glad to learn, 

 has been appointed chairman of the 

 important committee on "Roads and 

 Bridges." Good for Michigan !
