53 FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT 



that committee. If you prefer five, I will add two more. 

 Any further business? If not we will adjourn. 



SECOND DAY— Morning Session. 



Mr. Smith, in the chair, asked the Secretary as to the 

 next thing on the program. 



Mr. Stone — We wrote to eight persons for papers, but 

 we only have two. Mr. Crim was one written to, and we 

 never got any response. Mr. Poindexter has a paper. We 

 have heard from Mr. Moore and Mr. Dadant, and the rest 

 did not answer, so that is all we have in the way of papers. 

 Mr. Black has a talk. 



Mr. Smith — Is there anything to dispose of, if not we 

 will call on Mr. Black for a speech. 



Mr. Stone — A great many things ought to come up. 



Mr. Primm — We will have a report of the committee 

 as soon as I can copy it. 



Mr. Stone — We ought to do something and have it un- 

 derstood as to the publishing of this report; if it needs a 

 motion, I would like to make it. I will leave it to the meet- 

 ing and let someone else make a motion. We ought to make 

 arrangements, and I favor their being made with Mr. York, 

 the editor of the American Bee Journal, because he can ren- 

 der us far more assistance than any other we can get to 

 publish our '•eport. This past year when we were in doubt 

 about the "modus operandi," through a correspondence with 

 Mr. York we decided on getting out a letter and it was right 

 in the busy part of the year with me, and I told Mr. York 

 what we wanted, and asked him if he would write the letter. 

 He wrote the letter and sent it to me for further suggestions, 

 and we sent it out. You all know what that was, and no 

 one but Mr. York could have helped us out as he did. We 

 get the advantage of all that, if we have him publish our 

 report, and I am in favor of having a letter like that sent out 

 again. Now, if it needs any discussion and any motion to 

 bring it before the house, it might be well to have a com- 

 mittee appointed. What do you think about that. Dr. Miller? 



Dr. Miller — The Executive Committee will attend to that. 



Mr. Stone — Will it be best to leave the publishing of the 

 report to the Executive Committee? 



Mr. Smith — Is the meeting willing? I don't know that 

 it is necessary at all, but I think it best to put the motion. 

 You have heard the motion : All in favor say, "Aye" ; con- 

 trary, "No". It is unanimous. It will be left to the Execu- 

 tive Committee. 



Mr. Stone — There is another thing I would like to have 

 decided before we go any further. We have in the last year 

 taken in five members who asked also for the American Bee 

 Journal, in connection with their membership in the Asso- 

 ciation, and I learn from the proper authorities that it is 

 the understanding that when this Association gets member- 

 ship in the National it means all the members. It does not
