 Fairs : 



State Fair of Texas, Dallas, Tex.— T. P. Robinson, Bartlett, 

 Tex., superintendent ; W. H. Laws, Beeville, Tex., judge. 



Waco Cotton Palace, Waco, Tex. — W. H. Laws, Beeville, Tex.,

Before the regular order of business as printed on the program 

 was taken up, a motion was made, seconded and adopted that a 

 committee be appointed to draft a new constitution and by-laws for 

 the association. 



Committee appointed was : W. H. Laws, E. G. LeStourgeon, and 

 H. E. Graham. 



Printed program was then resumed, and the subject, "Selection 

 and Location of Apiary" was the first subject for discussion. Some 

 of the members advancing their views on this subject were: W. C. 

 Collier. Goliad, Tex., W. H. :\radley, Rogers, Tex., H. E. Graham, 

 Cause, Tex., and J. C. Blaine, Buenavista, Tex. 



It seemed to be the consensus of opinion that the prime essen- 

 tials for locating apiaries were: close to water near some house 

 wheie owner might take a look after the interests of bee-keeper, 

 get information from old residents about how bees have been doing 

 in prospective location, locate on stream if possible, because of 

 difierent flora being present there in addition to flowers common to 

 uplands away from the stream in same vicinity. 



Second Subject, first day: "Preparation of Apiary for Honey 

 Flow: When to Commence." :\Iessrs. W. H. IMadely, B. M. Cara- 

 way and E. G. LeStourgeon took part in this subject. Their joint 

 conclusions were to make preparations in the fall by seeing that each 

 .colony had prolific queen and plenty of stores. 



No further business coming up, meeting adjourned after giving 

 invitation to visitors to join the association and old members to pay 

 their dues. 



Second Day, Tuesday. JfLY 29th, 1913. 



Meeting called to order by president at 8:42 a. m., and program 

 as printed taken up. 



First Subject: "Comparative Profits in Production of Extracted 

 and Chunk Honey." 



Mr. Jno. W.' Pharr. Berclair, Tex., makes talk on this subject 

 declaring himself in favor of bulk comb production. Mr. Wm. Laws 

 of Beeville, Tex., also favored this manner of putting it up as the 

 most profitable, for the reason that about half extracted honey is 

 used in this method of packing it. 



Mr. F. L. Aten, Round Rock, Tex., takes position that extracted 

 honev is most profitable for reason that bees can refill old combs in 

 much shorter time than could be done in building new comb, thus 

 producing a greater quantity.
