 this place is open to anybody v/ho can. I expect to have help

There was no subject discussed at the National Convention 

 that received more earnest consideration than that of increasing 

 the demand for honey.

It was shown that the European war had closed the market 

 for the honey from California, Canada, Cuba, South America and 

 the West Indies. As California has formerly sent 150 to 200 car- 

 loads to Europe in former years, and these other countries enor- 

 mous quantities of the cheaper grades to Germany, France, and 

 the other war-ridden districts, and this honey is now being thrown 

 on our already congested markets, the situation is alarming. And 

 this condition is liable to continue for years, as these stricken peo- 

 ple will not be able to buy sufficient bread, let alone honey to eat 

 on it for a long time to come. To aggravate matters, our own bus- 

 iness affairs have got into a bad condition, so that our own people 

 are not buying as freely as they usually do.
