THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW

as I have already stated, buying 

 and selling- honey in itseif is not 

 to be thought of. The idea of co- 

 operating with the different 

 branches in distributing honey can 

 be worked out and doubtless will be 

 in the near futuie. Ihe organized 

 exploitation of honey is entirely in 

 the province and reach of the Nat- 

 ional Association. 



1 am going to propose a plat- 

 form with only one plank, but it is 

 strong enough to hold us all with- 

 out breaking, and broad enough to 

 give room for all to stand on with- 

 out jossling, and it is "Get togeth- 

 er and promote the consumption, 

 increase the demand, and stiffen 

 the price of honey." I am going 

 tc stand on that platform, shout 

 for that issue, and vote for that 

 policy as long as I am officially con- 

 iitcted with the National, and when 

 1 am a layman, I will follow the 

 lead of some better man who flies 

 this flag. 



The organization of a circuit so 

 that the Associations of adjacent 

 states may have the benefit of a 

 number of able lectures, at a mini- 

 mum of expense is an idea that I 

 am glad to see is about to be ar- 

 ranged. Dr. Phillips and others 

 proposed this a few years ago, but 

 it fell through with. It is Frank 

 Pellet who is arranging it now — 

 good work. This is getting right 

 at the heart of the matter. The 

 true place for a good social meeting 

 and educational work and genuine 

 enthusiasm is in the state meetings. 

 We have no better young man any- 

 where for this kind of work than 

 Mr. Pellett. We speak for your 

 services in advance at our next 

 state meeting. Frank. 



One more thought before I close. 

 I» the proposed amendments, we 

 have one that looks good to me. 

 That one that gives all the members 

 even if they have to stay at home, 

 a, voice in the policy of the Associ- 

 ation by electing the officers by a 

 popular vote, instead of by a few 

 delegates. Suppose that 4,490 mem- 

 bers wished any given policy car- 

 ried out, and stay at home by stress 

 of circumstances, suppose that the 

 other 10 out of a membership of 

 5,000 were directly opposed to this 

 policy, but were the delegates to 

 elect the officers intrusted to car ; 

 out the policies of the Association. 

 They have it in their power as it

Gather In the White Sweet Clover Seed 



Those who have had experience tell 

 us that it Is wonderful how well 

 white sweet clover yields seed. We were 

 wondering if there were not many of 

 our members who live in a locality 

 where sweet clover seed can be har- 

 vested at a profit. 



The very best seed Is cut and thrash- 

 ed by hand, then run through a fan- 

 ning mill. This is the method that 

 produces the unhulled variety, which is 

 usually free from weed seed or foreign 

 matter.
