96 FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT 



Mr. Wheeler — I don't like to be misunderstood. It 

 wasn't in regard to getting that appropriation I was speak- 

 ing, and getting the Bill through ; it was in regard to the 

 committee's work afterwards. You must not lose sight of 

 the fact that people are interested that have money invested, 

 and it must be looked into a little and we must see that we 

 do not take men who are not interested financially in bee- 

 keeping and who are not interested in the welfare of bee- 

 keeping. 



Pres. York — As I understand it, it does not make any 

 diflference after the law is secured. This committee has 

 nothing further to do. The inspector is then appointed on 

 the recommendation of the State Association, and the money 

 is turned over to the State Association. 



Dr. Miller — I move that the report be accepted and the 

 committee continued. 



Mr. Smith — Has that vacancy been filled on that com- 

 mittee ? 



Pres. York — Not yet. 



Mr. Smith moved, which motion was duly seconded, 

 that the chair fill the vacancy. 



Pres. York — I think we might as well consider it a 

 vacancy because Mr. Clarke has never served on the com- 

 mittee. 



Mr. Wheeler — I object to that. I don't believe that is 

 fair. 



Pres. York — Then we had better have a motion to de- 

 clare the vacancy. 



Mr. Moore moved, which motion was duly seconded, 

 that a vacancy be declared in the office of third committee- 

 man of the Foul Brood Committee. [Carried.] 



Pres. York then put a motion to fill the vacancy which 

 on a vote having been taken was declared, carried. Mr. 

 Horstmann was then appointed as third committeeman on 

 the Foul Brood Committee. 



Pres. York then put the motion to accept the report and 

 continue the committee, which, on a vote having been taken, 

 was declared carried. 



Pres. York — Before we take up some of the questions 

 which have been handed in we will have a talk by Mr. 

 Ernest R. Root, of Ohio, on 



BABY NUCLEI AND MATING QUEENS— BRICK HONEY 



(Mr. Root exhibited before the convention a baby- 

 nucleus box, illustrating his remarks as he went on by 

 pointing out various features of the little outfit. We have 

 since obtained a series of illustrations, and think the reader 

 will have no difficulty in understanding Mr. Root's explana- 

 tions if he will keep before him the illustrations. — Editor's 

 Note.) 



Perhaps those of you who devote your whole attention 

 to the production of honey, may think that what I am now 

 about to say on this subject will be of no particular interest
