Query 77.— Is it to the interest of the 

 honey- producers of America to advocate that

E. Prance — A'o. 



W. G. Larrabee — No. 



A. B. Mason — 'So, sir. 



D. W. Heise— I think not. 



Rev. M. Mahin— Of course not. 



Prof. A. J. Cook — I do not think it 

 true, and so not for the Interest of any-

Jas. A. Stone — If it would encourage 

 them in producing honey-plants I would 

 say yes. If not, I would say no. 



Emerson T. Abbott — It is to the inter-
