 forts.

 kind enough to act as temporary secretary for this convention. 



RESOLVED, That the thanks of this Association be extended 

 to Mr. Burke Vancil, Attorney, Springfield, Ills., as an appreciation 

 for his personal interest in the welfare of the National Beekeepers' 

 Association, and in its incorporation. 



BEEKEEPING IN SCHOOLS 



WHEREAS, We with pleasure observe that several states in 

 the last few years have recognized the bee industry as one of great 

 future possibilities, by establishing chairs of Bee Culture in connec- 

 tion with their Universities, providing ample and free instruction 

 in Bee Culture, the National Beekeepers' Convention hereby ex- 

 presses its thanks to those Universities and their officers for such 

 aid and recognition. It expresses its hope at the same time, and 

 pledges its support to an effort to have Bee Culture recognized and 

 taught in all State Universities and Agricultural Schools of the 

 country. 



U. S. CENSUS 



WHEREAS, The next United States census approaches, the 

 National Beekeepers' Convention, regretting the results of the 1910 

 census, whose figures do a great injustice to beekeepers by showing 

 up as a small diminishing industry by failing to enumerate probably 

 more than one-half of all the beekeepers of the United States, take 

 the necessary steps with the proper authorities of Washington to 

 secure a just and accurate census of the bee industry. We recom- 

 mend the appointment of an active committee to take up this mat- 

 ter. 



FRUIT SPRAYING 



WHEREAS, There exists misunderstanding and friction be- 

 tween the fruit-growers and beekeepers of the country regarding
