THE BEE-KEEPERS- REVIEW 193 



find that the l)uyers try to beat them down on prices. He regards 

 sweet clover as their greatest honey plant. Their association will 

 use this year about six carloads of supplies all bought through the 

 association. He states that all their honey is sold through their 

 association, and that they furnish their members supplies at jobbers 

 prices with five per cent added for the expense of handling. 



Mr. Francis Danzenbaker, of Virginia, heartily endorsed what 

 Dr. Surface says with reference to developing the local market, and 

 believes that prejudice against candied honey is caused largely by 

 what has been published regarding sugar honey. People eating the 

 honey and noting the granules jump to the conclusion that it is 

 sugar. 



A call was taken for a show of those who were not delegates to 

 the convention. Am sorry to say that 1 was unable to get these 

 names in the short time available, so that 1 can not give them to 

 you with any degree of accuracy. 



Meeting adjourned at 9 :30 p. m., to meet Thursday morning at 

 8 a. m.

^Meeting called to order by Chairman B. X. Gates. The first 

 thing taken up was the reading and hearing of invitations from dif- 

 ferent cities for our next annual meeting. The Secretary read invita- 

 tions from the city of Buffalo, both from the mayor and from the 

 Chamber of Commerce ; an invitation was also received from Chi- 

 cago through the Chicago Association of Commerce ; San Francisco 

 sent in an invitation from the San Francisco Con\ention Bureau. 

 This invitation. howe\er, is for the year 1915, at which time the 

 •Panama Pacific International Exposition will be held. An invita- 

 tion from the mayor of Xew Orleans was also received, and one from 

 the X'^ew^ Orleans Conventions and Tourists Bureau ; Secretary Tyr- 

 rell presented a personal invitation from Detroit ; Director Wesley 

 Foster one from Denver : Delegate J- J. Anderson one from Idaho 

 Falls, and Delegate Ralph B. Daly for either Rochester or Buffalo, 

 but faxored Rochester: Dr. B. X^. Gates spoke in favor of holding 

 the next convention in the northeast. Washington was considered, 

 and both Secretary Tyrrell and Editor E. R. Root spoke in favor of 

 Washington on account of that city being disappointed in not having 

 the convention this year, after it had been decided by the Directors- 

 to hold the convention there. Mr. Root thought we must have some 

 regulations in regard to shipping bees from one part of the country 

 to another, and felt we might gain something along that line if we 

 could hold our next convention in Washington and visit the author- 

 ities in person. At this point Mr. Root gave a report of the Legis- 

 lative Committee as mentioned previously in this report.
