 somewhat more convenient arrangements may 

 be possible another year. The location of the 

 various State conventions will be announced 

 by their respective secretaries. Some locations 

 have apparently not yet been selected.

WHITE HONEY CROP REPORT COMMIT- 

 TEE MEETS 



Average of 55 lbs. per Colony. Quality Excel- 

 lent, brisk demand at aligrhtly lower prices. 



The Crop Report Committee of the Ontario 

 Beekeepers' Association met on Wednesday, 

 August 4th. Three hundred members re- 

 ported from all parts of Ontario showino. an 

 average of 55 pounds per colony. There is 

 about an average crop, and the quality is ex- 

 cellent. The buying power of the public is 

 below the average, however, and it is likely 

 that prices will range slightly lower than those 

 recommended by the committee last year. In 

 fact, some honey has already changed hands 

 at prices recommended below. 



Selling should be brisk at these prices as 

 the market is clear of old honey and the high 

 price of sugar is causing householders to turn 

 to honey as a substitute for canned fruit ; 

 considering that it requires no preserving but 

 can be stored in a dry place regardless of tem- 

 perature without even removing it from the 

 tin. One case was reported where berries were 

 allowed to waste and 60 pounds of honey pur- 

 chased to save the expense of picking and can- 

 ning the berries. 



The prices recommended by the Committee 

 are as follows : 



No. 1 Light Extracted, wholesale, 10c to 

 111,2 per tb- 



No. 1 Light Extracted, retail, 12% to 15c 

 per lb. 



No. 1, Comb, wholesale, $2.00 to $2.75 per 

 dozen. 



No. 2 Comb Wholesale, $1.50 to $2.00 per 

 dozen. 



These prices are f. o. b. in 60 lb., 10 lb and 

 5 lb tins ; the former being net weight with 

 the tin thrown in, the two latter being gross 

 weight. The difference in time and trouble 

 of filling the small tins about equalizes the 

 price. In selling to the wholesale merchant the 

 lowest wholesale price should be asked ; while 

 the retail grocer should pay the highest whole- 

 sale price. The retail price to the consumer 

 might vary according to the quantity he takes 

 in any one purchase and whether he supplies 

 his own package. 



Signed by the Committee.

The 1915 crop is on the hives yet but I ex- 

 pect to commence extracting next week. So 

 far we have about half a crop. We had 

 enough White Clover for a record crop but it 

 has been raining about half the time since 

 May 1st., and still at it. If the weather will 

 allow we should have a big fall crop. I win- 

 tered 66 colonies in clamps last winter with 

 the best of success.
