THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



of the pioneers in tlie growth of 

 tliis plant for a field crop. At pres- 

 ent about one hundred and fifty 

 acres are in sweet clover. Mr. C. 

 P. Dadant was present and gave 

 one of his characteristic talks. The 

 Iowa beemen appreciate the interest 

 manifested by our Illinois friends 

 in our meetings. Much time was 

 spent in looking over the Coverdale 

 apiary of 300 colonies and in infor- 

 mal discussion. The ladies of the 

 Coverdale household with generous 

 hospitality spread a fine dinner for 

 those from a distance. Mr. Syverud, 

 inspector of apiaries of South Da- 

 kota was present. 



At the Dustman apiary at Des- 

 Moines on July 15th about one 

 hundred and twenty-five were in 

 attendance. The local committee 

 had outlined rather an extended 



program which was carried out for 

 the most part. Among the speakers 

 may be mentioned Prof. Tye of 

 Drake University, Judge Chamber- 

 lain of DesMoines, Prof. Bartholo- 

 mew of Ames, Hamlin B. Miller of 

 Marshalltown, J. H. Schweer of 

 Valley Junction, and R. H. Long- 

 worth of Polk City. 



Much interest was manifested in 

 the various demonstrations and it 

 was decided as a matter of course 

 to repeat the meeting again next 

 season. The Polk county boys have 

 organized a local club and purpo 

 to get in on everything that is 

 good while it is going. They are a 

 bunch of live wires and frequent 

 reports of something doing may be 

 expected from Polk county. Our 

 friend Dustman spared no pains to 

 make the occasion a pleasant one.
