National Suggestions 



By .1. M. Donaldson, New Jersey 



With the harvest over, the crop 

 sold supplies purchased and plans 

 laid for the coming season, bee 

 keepers can now sit down and thor- 

 oughly read the Bee Journals that 

 they just skipped through during 

 the busy season. 



The writer has just been looking 

 over the Review for the past year 

 and I am surprised by the changes 

 that have taken place and what 

 The Review has done for the 

 members of the National. It brings 

 to my mind the thought. What 

 would the possibilities of the Na- 

 tional be for the coming year, if 

 the membership was just double 

 what it is at the present time, and 

 it could be doubled, if every pres- 

 ent member would make up his 

 or her mind to enrole at the least 

 one new name. 



How many members are there 

 who do not know at the least, one 

 man or woman that keeps bees, 

 whose name is not on the roster of 

 the National. 



Now boys, let us make it a long- 



pull, a strong' pull and all pull to- 

 gether, we can get them if we go 

 after them. Arm yourself with a 

 few copies of the Review, go to 

 your bee-keeping friend and ask 

 him to join the National and State 

 branch. If his name is Mr. Tight- 

 wad B Man, about the first ques- 

 tion he will ask, is, "What do I get 

 for my money?" Tell him that he 

 gets his membership in the National 

 and the State branch, and that 

 he receives the Review twelve times 

 a year. Show him how the Nation- 

 al saves him money on his con- 

 tainers, both glass and tin, how it 

 saves him money on stationery, 

 foundation and other supplies, tell 

 him how it will help him dispose 

 of his crop, without cost to him. 

 Perhaps he may be one of the 

 class, that knows all about bees 

 and does not need to read, then ask 

 him if he could manage 3000 col- 

 onies, tell him about that Prince 

 of Bee-keepers who is doing that 

 little stunt and telling In the Re- 

 view just how he does it, don't
