82 THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



Will say that a letter received from Supt. JM-itz. Reichnian, of 

 Albany, X. Y.. states that it will not. He says in part as fol- 

 lows: \\hen Chapter 81 of the laws of 1!>12 goes into effect June 

 1, 1913, it will not be necessar}- to sell the individual comi)s bv 

 weight. The matter has been taken care of by regulations form- 

 ulated in accordance with the provisions of the above named sta- 

 tute. 



The Poem in the November "Review" Used by Bee-Keepers in 



Advertising. 



The poem written by Oliver Foster, and printed in the Novem- 

 ber Review, is being used to good advantage by some of our- sub- 

 scribers in their advertising. This is a suggestion that could be well 

 followed by a good many other subscribers, and I hope that at an}' 

 time a subscriber sees anything in the Review which thev would like 

 to use in their advertising that they do so. 



A. J. Diebold, of Seneca, Illinois, has used this poem in ad\er- 

 tising in the Sciicca and Record Xrzvs, and T must thank him for gi\- 

 ing the Review credit in the advertisment. Mr. H. C. Ahlers, of 

 West Bend. Wisconsin, is also using the ]Joem in his advertising 

 circulars. It seems to me that it should be a good poem to use in 

 that way. 



New Foul Brood Bill for Michigan. 



Representative Stevens introduced into the House rif Reijre- 

 sentatives at Lansing, February 11, House Bill Xo. 343, entitled a 

 bill for the suppression of contagious diseases among bees in the 

 State of Michigan by creating the office of Inspector of Apiaries to 

 fulfill the duties thereof and to appropriate money therefor. 



The bill was read the first and second time by its title and 

 referred to the Committee on .State Aft'airs. Michigan bee-keepers 

 should get busy and send a letter to their representative for his 

 support to this bill ; tell him the loss of bees in ^lichigan has been 

 exceedingly heavy from this disease, and that the loss to the fruit 

 growers is really greater than the loss to the bee-keepers. If you 

 do not know who vonr representative is ask your local postmaster. 



Bee Culture and Moving Pictures.

 used for abfuit every purpose, religious, educational, adxertising and 

 entertainment. Land agents use them for adxertising purposes and
