( Continued fiom April Issue) 



Mr. Foster stated that the west needed more co-operation by 

 members of the local associations. Second, by the distribution of 

 their product in the eastern markets. He stated there is from 35 to 

 60 cars sent out of Colorado every year. Idaho is running Colorado 

 a close second, if it is not surpassing it in the production of alfalfa 

 honey. Colorado comb honey granulates earlier now than it did 

 formerl}^, and Mr. Foster thinks this is because there are more honey 

 bearing plants, and that this mixture of honey from different sources 

 has a tendency for causing early granulation. He stated that the 

 honey during the past year was dark and would not grade the best, 

 that above To per cent this year was No. 2, and 25 per cent was No. 

 1. The problem, however, is in marketing extracted honey. They 

 cannot afford to produce comb honey if they can get 8 cents for 

 extracted, but at the present time if they have a car of extracted 

 honey they are lucky if they can get over 6 to 6r^c. and under these 

 conditions comb honey production is more profitable. During the 

 past year it brought from $2.50 to $3.00 for a 24:-section case. The
