THE BEEKEEPERS' REVIEW 



Beekeepers' Convention and Official Apiary Inspec- 

 tors' Conference 



Massachusetts Agricultural College, Farmers' Week, March 15, 



16, 17, Has Been Postponed 



On acount of the continued prevalence of the foot and mouth 

 disease, there being some 64 towns in Massachusetts under quar- 

 antine, the Trustees of the Massachusetts Agricultural College 

 after conference with the State Department of Animal Industry, 

 and on their advice, have decided to cancel all Farmers' Week 

 programs which were scheduled for March 15-19. This includes 

 the cancellation of the Beekeepers' Convention. 



The second convention of the Apiary Inspectors' Association 

 of Eastern United States, scheduled for March 17, has been tem- 

 porarily postponed, also, with the recommendation of Hon. Wilfred 

 Wheeler, Secretary of the State Board of Agriculture under whose 

 auspices this Conference was to have been held. 



A subsequent announcement should appear in this paper. We 

 are informed by Dr. Gates that the program as proposed was as- 

 suming more and more importance as the day of the Conference 

 approached. In fact the subjects are of such timely importance 

 and so urgently need immediate consideration, that it seems im- 

 minent these discussions should be provided for. It was planned 

 moreover, to arrange for publication at least in part, of these dis- 

 cussions. Watch the bee papers for future announcements. All in- 

 terested in bee disease problems, of control, causes, experimenta- 

 tion, or any factors needing solution, investigation or discussion 

 are requested to communicate with Dr. Gates. 



Dr. Gates would like to hear particularly from any who have 

 a so-called immune race to European foul or who have had ex- 

 perience with immune races. Experiences with treatment of foul 

 brood by the dequeening or requeening methods should also be 

 communicated to him.
