THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 195 



]Mr. Dadant explained that in Illinois they received from the 

 state a certain appropriation each year, but that the appropriation 

 would be withdrawn in case they did not maintain their separate 

 organization. 



Moved by Mr. Dadant that the word "Branch"' be not used, but 

 the words "Affiliated Associations" be used instead. Seconded, and 

 the vote for this change stood as follows: F'avorable, Idaho, 2; Wis- 

 consin, 2 ; Illinois, 5 ; Ohio, not voting ; Minnesota, not voting ; Ad- 

 irondack, 1 ; Iowa, 1 ; Tennessee, 1 ; Michigan, 2 ; Indiana, 2 ; Chicago 

 Northwestern, 1; Washington, 1; Hampshire-Hampden-Franklin, 1; 

 Colorado, 2; Pennsylvania, 5; Vermont, 1; Worcester, 1. Against — - 

 None. Carried unanimously. 



Moved by J. J. Anderson, delegate of Idaho Honey Producers' 

 Association, that the report of the committee recommending that 

 Article I be not changed so that it still reads, "This organization 

 shall be known as the National Bee-Keepers' Association," be 

 adopted. Motion seconded. The vote was as follows: Favorable- 

 Idaho. Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio, Minnesota, Adirondack, Iowa, Ten- 

 nessee, Michigan, Indiana, Chicago-Northwestern, Washington, 

 Hampshire-Hampden-Franklin, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Vermont, 

 and Worcester. Unfavorable — None. Motion carried unanimously. 



Moved by A. C. Allen, delegate of Wisconsin Branch, that Ar- 

 ticle HI be amended to read as follows: "This organization shall 

 consist of one central organization with its various affiliated associa- 

 tions ; these affiliated associations may be in any locality where fif- 

 teen or more members of the National decide to form a branch." 



At this point it was considered advisable inasmuch as it took so 

 much time to have a roll-call of votes that those branches against a 

 motion be asked to vote first, and if there was no opposition that the 

 motion would be considered carried unanimously. A vote taken this 

 way showed the motion carried unanimously. 



Gloved bv P. E. Crane, delegate of Vermont Branch, that Article 

 IV, Section 1. be laid on the table temporarily. Motion seconded 

 and carried unanimously. 



Moved by P. E. Crane, delegate of Vermont Branch, that Article 

 IV. Section 2, be laid on the table temporarily. Motion seconded 

 and carried unanimously. 



Moved by Dr. H. A. Surface, delegate of Pennsylvania Branch, 

 that Article IV. Section 3, be adopted as follows: "Memberships 

 shall begin at the time the membership fee is paid, and shall expire 

 at the end of the time paid for, counting from date membership be- 

 gan." ]\Iotion seconded and carried unanimously. 



Moved by E. D. Townsend, delegate of Michigan Branch, that 

 Article VI, Section 1, be adopted as follows: "The officers of this 

 Association shall be a President, Vice-President, Secretary and
