THE BEEKEEPERS' REVIEW 



usefulness is the conflicting interests of the widely scattered mem- 

 bership. Eastern beekeepers do not want Western and Southern 

 honey on their markets, and oppose any action upon the part of the 

 National to assist in the sale of honey if it is Western or Southern 

 honey. The amateur beekeeper is not interested in the commer- 

 cial side of beekeeping, and so is not in favor of the National aiding 

 its members in a business way. The Agricultural College men and 

 many of the State Inspectors are more interested in beekeeping ex- 

 tension than in the measures designed to give the beekeeper a bet- 

 ter price for his honey, and secure for him his supplies for less 

 money.

Probably the greatest hindrance to National Association use- 

 fulness is the fact that there are not enough members who will 

 sacrifice anything for the National to have a good corps of commit- 

 tees at work. Three or four, are all the workers that have really 

 taken time to help the National, and they have been able to take but 

 a small amount of time. If the National is to succeed with practi- 

 cally no income, more members will have to put up their dues, and 

 a lot of time and monsy besides.
