The Honey Crop Report. 



The future of the National Association depends upon the ser- 

 vice rendered the membership. The meml^ers will get out just what 

 the members put in. To derive the greatest benefit from the honey 

 crop report each one should send in the report promptly upon 

 receipt of the Rf:viEVV. If conditions change, the report should be 

 amended with a later report sent in as soon as the facts are known. 



Editor Tyrrell Justified in Resigning. 



In moving the Review from Detroit to North star, and trying 

 to accjuaint myself with the methods of publishing the Review, I 

 had occasion to be in Detroit about a w^eek. Of course, a good 

 share of this time w^as spent at the old office of the Review, where 

 is also the office of the Real Estate Board of which ]\Ir. Tyrrell is 

 secretary. If the reader could have been there, as I have, and seen 

 the work 'Sir. Tyrrell has undertaken, no one would question the 

 advisability of his resigning as editor of the Review. 



Here Mr. Tyrrell commands a salary of $?,100 per annum, a 

 salar\^ the Review could not think of paying, consequently we could 

 not expect him to remain with us, as much as w^e would have liked 

 to have had him do so. 



iMr. Tyrrell wnll stay wdth us as secretary, and his address will 

 be the same as before, 314: Hammond Building. Detroit, Mich.
