GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



July 1 



PHOTOGRAPHIC - COMPETITION 



We are pleased to announce another series 

 of prizes for the best photographs submitted 

 to us, as described below, in two series, 

 American and foreign, under the following 

 conditions: 



First. — The competition opens January 

 15th and closes October 1st, 1907. All pho- 

 tographs intended for this competition must 

 be in our hands by the last-named date. 



Second. — Competition for these prizes is 

 limited to bee-keepers or some member of 

 the family. Entries may be made for as 

 many different classes as niay be desired. 



Third. — A photograph entered in one 

 class can not be entered in any other class. 



Fourth. — Each photograph should be 

 marked on the back with the name and full 

 address of the sender, and the class in which 

 it is entered. This is important. 



Fifth. — In judging the photographs, the 

 general appearance, neatness, etc., of the 

 apiary or exhibit or yard will be taken into 

 consideration. Photos may be sent un- 

 mounted. We rather prefer them this way, 

 and in a solio or reddith-brown tone if pos- 

 sible. However, send such as you can get 

 most easily. 



Sixth. — With each of the photographs 

 submitted we would like a brief statement 

 of the conditions under which the apiary 

 was photographed or honey produced, or 

 similar information regarding the photo- 

 graph. This should be limited to about one 

 hundred words. 



Seventh. — All photographs and corres- 

 pondence regarding the same should be ad- 

 dressed to Advertising Department, Glean- 

 ings IN Bee Culture, Medina, Ohio. 



Eighth. — We reserve the right to limit 

 the number of awards or make no awards 

 in any class if there are no suitable entries 

 for that class.
