HONEY PRODUCERS' LEAGUE 



There will be a meeting of the ex- 

 ecutive committee and friends of the 

 National Honey Producers' League in 

 connection with the Chicago North- 

 western Beekeepers' convention at 

 the Great Northern Hotel at Chicago 

 on December 6 and 7. The new or- 

 ganization is just now at a critical 

 stage and with sufficient support 

 from the beekeepers will achieve 

 great success. All beekeepers inter- 

 ested in a live National organization 

 are invited to meet with the execu- 

 tive committee and help formulate 

 plans for the future. 



THE BEEKEEPERS' ITEM 



The Beekeepers' Item announces a 

 raise in subscription price from 50 

 cents to one dollar per year, to take 

 effect with the beginning of the new 

 volume. The size will be increased 

 to 32 pages. When it is considered 

 that everything else has increased 

 in price from 100 to 500 per cent, 

 subscription rates of bee publications 

 are still extremely low. Here is one 

 place where the consumer gets more 

 than he pays for. 



Although the Item deals primarily 

 with Texas beekeeping, it is of in- 

 terest to beemen everywhere. It is 

 an interesting and newsy publication 

 that is read with much interest. As a 

 rule, when one visits a wide-awake 

 beekeeper he is found to be a careful 

 reader, not only of one good maga- 

 zine relating to his special trade, but 

 several. The cost of subscription is 

 so small in proportion to the benefits 

 received, that a beekeeper who takes 

 his business seriously will get sug- 

 gestions worth many times the cost 

 from any well edited bee publintion. 



SWEET CLOVER 



(Eber Lewis, Superior, Neb., close to 

 the north line of Kansas, with 160 

 acres of sweet clover, sold $3,335 

 worth of seed, after pasturing 200 

 head of cattle on it all season. L. W. 

 Benson says that land is now worth 

 $50 an acre more than it was before 

 the sweet clover was put upon it. 



Chicago Northwestern Association 



The Chicago Northwestern Bee- 

 keepers' Association will hold its an- 

 nual convention on Monday and 

 Tuesday, December 6 and 7, at the 

 Great Northern Hotel, Chicago. An 

 unusually good program is being ar- 

 ranged and many prominent bee- 

 keepers from a number of States have 

 signified their intention of being 

 present. A copy of the program will 

 be mailed upon application to the 

 Secretary. JOHN C. BULL, 



Seer etarv-Trea surer. 



Michigan's Efficiency 



If any of our Michigan beekeepers 

 fail to secure the "Beekeeper's Let- 

 ter," published monthly by B. F. 

 Kindig, of the Michigan Department 

 of Entomology, they are losing a 

 treat. Those letters are full of life 

 and indispensable information.
