Those figures if they mean any 

 thing, mean that the tail has been 

 wagging the dog by following the 

 policy which has been pursued and 

 is stiU insisted on,, of not allowing 

 the National to assist in finding a. 

 better market for honey. If there 

 is any good reason for this, I would 

 like to hear it. I know of none that 

 will stand fire. Look at the above 

 list. The manufacturers would be 

 benefited, the supply dealers would 

 be, tiiosL; who sell honey would be,, 

 the specialists would be, the small 

 producer would be, leaving only the 

 salaried non-producer who would 

 not be directly Interested in a bet- 

 ter price of honey. It Is the very 

 large class of persons who do not 

 make a specialty of the business 

 who need the support of the Asso- 

 ciation, as they do not have enough 

 interest to go to the conventions; 

 but the price is vital to them in der- 

 gree, as much as to the largest pro- 

 ducer. It is the interests of 

 these that we all should conserve. 

 The vocationalist and the manu- 

 facturer has enough interest to at- 

 tend the conventions. The little 

 fellow can assist in making a local 

 market and BOOSTING that way. 



Isn't it high time we adopted a 

 settled policy in regard to this 

 matter? It has been a bone of con- 

 tention for a long time. It came 

 up last year, and will come up again 

 this year. There is no use in hid- 

 ing this fact, as it is a condition 

 that must be definitely settled 

 sooner or later, and secrecy only 

 makes things worse. I feel sure 

 that it has been the secret moves, 

 that has caused dissentions, misun- 

 derstandings and trouble. I feel 

 sure also, that the membership are 

 agreed on the policy we should pur- 

 sue if we all properly understood 

 each other.
