 Idaho, July 12, on the premises of Gottfried Lohrli.

 tend this meeting, also to have all. members who are

P. S. Farrel, Secretary. 



New Plymouth, Ida., June 20. 



notice of field meeting. 



The Chicago Northwestern Beekeepers' Association 

 will hold a field meeting at the apiary of W. W. 

 Faulkner, 3000 North Cicero Ave., Chicago, July 15.

 together, picnic style. There will be demonstrations

Valparaiso, Ind. 



a summer meeting of beekeepers. 

 In accordance with the action of the beekeepers 

 at the summer meeting held at Hamilton, 111., last 

 year, the committee appointed has arranged for 

 another meeting to be held at Dubuque, Iowa, Aug. 

 1 and 2. It is to be hoped that a permanent organi- 

 zation of the beekeepers of the upper Mississippi 

 Valley may be effected, and that these valuable meet- 

 ings may be continued. The Commercial Club of 

 Dubuque has promised royal entertainment for all 

 who attend. The meetings will be held in the beau- 

 tiful Union Park, one of the beauty spots along the 

 Mississippi. If the weather is inclement the meet- 

 ings will be held in the park pavilion. 



These meetings are of vital importance to bee- 

 keepers, as they help to attract public attention to 

 the use of honey in addition to the value of informa- 

 tion gained by the personal contact of successful 

 honey-producers. Dubuque is a city of several 

 Ihousand population, and a honey market that has 

 hardly been touched. If more city meetings were 

 held so as to bring the use of honey before the 

 general piiblic at home it would not be long before 

 the demand for honey would be doubled. 



Every beekeeper who can possibly make arrange- 

 ments to attend this meeting will gain much of value 

 besides having a royal good time. Bring your wives 

 and families, and help make this one of the best 

 meetings ever held.
