ORGANIZATION AND GO-OPERATION. 



BY F. E. BROWN. 



A Rough Outline of a Plan Proposed by the Secretary 

 of the National Gommittee. 



As most of the readers of the Re- 

 view probably know, at the Denver 

 convention a committee of five was ap- 

 pointed to devise some plan whereby 

 a National commercial organization of 

 bee-keepers could be formed for mar- 

 keting honey— that all migut co-oper- 

 ate and work together intelligently. 

 Mr. F. E. Brown, of Hanford, Cali- 

 fornia, was appointed Secretary, and 

 instructed to draft a constitution and 

 by-laws, which he was to send to the 

 other members for their criticism and 

 suggestions. Mr. Brown is the busi- 

 ness manager of the Central California 

 Bee-Keepers' Association, and has 

 been very busy, shipping honey at the 

 rate of a carload a week. Besides this, 

 he has had sickness and death in his 

 family, and it was not until now that 

 he has been able to draft a set of by- 

 laws. They have been sent to the 

 other members of the committee, and 

 I presume that Mr. Brown expected to 



get them baci again and re-write them 

 before submitting them to the public, 

 but, even though they are simply a 

 rough and hasty outline, I believe 

 they better be laid before the public, 

 and thus get the benefit of criticisms 

 from the whole bee-keeping frateri.ity, 

 instead of from only four men. 



For the best criticism and articl on 

 this subject of National Commc cial 

 Organization among bee-keepers, re- 

 ceived in time for publication in the 

 December Review, I will pay $5.00; 

 and for any other article on this sub- 

 ject that I think well enough of to 

 publish, I will send the Review one 

 year and a Superior Stock queen next 

 spring. We have now got something 

 tangible to talk about, something to 

 criticise, and here it is. Mr. Brown 

 submits the following:
