 every reader of this article send a post card addressed to \:he 

 REVIEW saying how many gallon bottles you would buy to try 

 them out, I will place my order for 100 right here. We must 

 get an order large enough to enable the manufacturer to make a 

 special bottle for the beekeeping fraternity, to be used for honey,

Beekeepers' Review, 



North star, Mich. 

 Dear Editor: — 



I noticed in last edition that suggestions were in order for the 

 betterment of the Review as the beekeepers' own paper. Like you 

 I realize that its usefulness is too limited and should be more gener- 

 al as a beekeeper's medium. At present it does not offer enough 

 in the way of practical aid for me to have a clear, good proposition 

 to put before the beekeepers of my section. 



I have a suggestion to offer that might enable me to do this 

 more fully and if it would work in my case maybe it would in many 

 others. My suggestion is this: 



In every state have a wide awake, active agent in the person 

 of a progressive beekeeper. If such a party could not be found at 

 once one could be sought out and appointed later. It would be his 

 duty to work his territory or state and become as familiar as pos- 

 sible with every beekeeper and go after him with this good proposi- 

 tion. "The Beekeepers' Review is the Beekeepers' own paper pub- 

 lished by us and for our interest. It contains a department for our 

 own state full of the best home suggestions and ideas about bee 

 culture gathered up here and there over the counties and you are 

 requested to take part in it. Not only would we help each other 

 right here at home with the best ideas in beekeeping but would 

 help each other in purchasing supplies at greatly reduced prices, 

 also we could advertise your honey for sale and help you in every 

 way possible as fellow beekeepers. The membership fee is only 

 $2.00 which you may send along with your full address." 



I can reach them with a proposition similar to the above and 

 do a great work among those of my craft in the way of organizing 

 this association here at home. This is only a personal suggestion 

 and it may be all wrong when it comes to framing up an organiza- 

 tion that would cover this ground. 



Yours truly, 



J. J. WILDER.
