Beekeeping vs. Spraying in Bloom 



An Effort in Massachusetts to Re- 

 lieve the Alleged tax on 

 Beekeepers- 



The Massachusetts Board of Agri- 

 culture will shortly issue a poster in- 

 dicating the proper time for spraying 

 fruit trees and showing that while 

 trees are in bloom it is not only in- 

 effective as a prevention against fruit 

 pests, but directly dangerous in some 

 cases, being liable to spoil the blos- 

 soms and to cause the death of bees; 

 thereby greatly reducing the amount 

 of fruit set. It is hoped to have ready 

 shortly thereafter, for general distri- 

 bution, a more extended circular or 

 bulletin on this subject. The poster 

 is intended for use in public places. 

 Both poster and circular can be ob- 

 tained as soon as issued, by address- 

 ing the Honorable Secretary of the 

 State Board of Agriculture, 136 State 

 House, Boston, Mass.

 MEMORANDUM NO. 40. 



To the Board of Directors: 

 MEMORANDUM No. 33 was duly 

 presented to the Directors and there- 

 to attached was a statement concern- 

 ing a measure whereby funds could 

 be obtained for advertising of honey. 

 This proposal has met with some fa- 

 vor both by Directors and others. It 

 is not considered, however, by your 

 Chairman as sufficiently desired by 

 the beekeepers and others to admit 

 further consideration. The proposal 

 is therefore withdrawn without fur- 

 ther report. 



BURTON N. GATES, 

 Chairman Board of Directors.
