THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW

ony within that section, of course 

 covering as large an area as the 

 season would permit, in the mean- 

 time calls for inspection from any 

 part of the state were given prompt 

 attention. 



Two plans of inspection present 

 themselves for consideration in New 

 Jersey. One is, with the present 

 funds and one deputy to cover as 

 much of the state as possible year 

 after year until it has been com- 

 pletely covered which will probably 

 take six years and the other is to 

 get if possible enough money ap- 

 propriated to hire enough deputies 

 to cover the entire state in one 

 year and follow it up the next seas- 

 on to suppress any reinfection and 

 after that one deputy could probably 

 keep the work well in hand. The 

 difficulty with the latter plan is 

 this in an economy year with our 

 legislature and it is very doubtful 

 if we could get any increase in our 

 appropriation therefore we are per- 

 force obliged to adopt the first 

 plan. Since calls for inspection from 

 any part of the state are given 

 prompt attention no one can take ex- 

 ception to it on the grounds of dis- 

 crimination as it has been under- 

 stood has been the case in Texas. 



The two years inspection has re- 

 sulted in the examination of 716 

 yards containing 6208 colonies of 

 which i*61 were in boxes, kegs, etc. 

 238 cases of American foul brood 

 and 619 cases of Europeon were 

 discovered. Considerable sacbrood 

 has been met but with one excep- 

 tion it did not seem to be causing 

 any appreciable loss. 



Twenty of the twenty-one coun- 

 ties of the state have one or both 

 forms of foulbrood. 



Our educational campaign which 

 we propose carrying on when field 

 work with the bees is impossible, 

 aside from the manual which we 

 hope to get into the hands of our 

 people soon, consists of lectures be- 

 fore granges, farmers' institutes 

 and short course students. Demon- 

 strations at fairs and poultry shows 

 and articles on bee-keeping furnished 

 to farm papers. 



We are looking forward to the 

 establishment of a demonstration 

 apiary and a more or less complete 

 course in bee-keeping at the Ex- 

 perimental Station farm. 



The annual Field Day of the 

 Worcester County Bee-Keepers' As- 

 sociation will be held Saturday, 

 August 8th, at the home and apiary 

 of Mr. O. F. Fuller in Blackstone 

 xMass. The Eastern Mass. Society 

 of Bee-Keepers are to join with 

 them on this occasion. The Com- 

 mittee has not at this time an- 

 nounced the program, but an in- 

 teresting meeting is being planned.

Attention Iowa Bee-Keepers 



The Iowa Branch of the National 

 Association AVill Hold two 3Ieet- 

 ings During August as F«ill<>ws: 



At Clarinda on August 1 2th, will 

 be held the meeting of special in- 

 terest to those interested in queen 

 rearing. Mr. Strong, at whose 

 apiary the friends will gather, is a 

 well known queen breeder of long 

 experience. The program will be 

 arranged later, but a profitable oc- 

 casion is assured. Being so near 

 to Missouri, a number from that 

 state are expected; as also from 

 Nebraska. 



Sioux City, August 20th. The 

 bee-keepers of South Dakota, Ne- 

 braska and Iowa have for several 

 years held a tri-state meeting. This 

 year, as usual, they will meet at 

 Riverside Park, and the com- 

 mittee in charge will plan a pro- 

 giam worth while. These meetings 

 are always genuinely interesting 

 and the committee will insure that 

 this year is no exception.

Editor Review: — I am sending 

 you a picture of my apiary, taken 

 in August, when my crop for last 

 summer was all off, except a few 

 supers, that were left to provide 

 room for the strongest colonies. 

 People who have seen my apiary 

 say I have the neatest bee-yard in 

 the county. The little boy that you 

 see in the picture, is my son, and 

 a good helper he is, too. I have 4 

 acres of good land, and always 

 have a good crop but have rented 

 the most of it for next year, in 

 order to have more time to devote 

 to the bees. The bee business looks 

 good to me. 



I have had a good crop this 

 year, again, but I cannot reach the 

 2 66 lb. mark of Dr. Miller! I have 

 averaged 78 lbs. of comb honey this
