NINTH ANNUAL, REPORT OF THE 



Washington will furnish receptacles, 

 and furnish you with everthing neces- 

 sai'y, and with the necessary franks, 

 "so that it will not even cost you a 

 postage stamp. They are very anx- 

 ious, indeed, to get these samples, and 

 whether you know about it or whether 

 you don't send them to them, and 

 perhaps they can tell you something. 

 I feel we are under obligation to our 

 National ofRcers to do those things. 



Mr. York invited the members of 

 the National and all present to at- 

 tend the annual meeting of the Chi- 

 cago and Northwestern Association, 

 to be held in Chicago the first week 

 in November. 



(Mr. Darby — I wish at this time to 

 urge every member of the local Asso- 

 ciation and every bee-keeper m your 

 State to work to get an appropriation 

 to carry out your foul brood law. 

 Your sister State, Missouri, is very 

 much interested in this matter, and 

 if you get your law in working order. 



it may be that, working together, we 

 can accomplish something, whereas, 

 working alone, we are working 

 against odds, and we would like you 

 to try to bring everything in your 

 pow^er to bear on your Legislature ta 

 grant you an appropriation to con- 

 tinue your work. 



Mr. Hall— ^I have had two or three 

 letters from our Governor during the 

 summer, with reference .fb^ getting 

 this Foul Brood Bill before them, 

 and I don't think Mr. Darby need ' 

 worry his mind very much about us 

 getting our appropriation very soon. ! 

 At least, that has been the idea our : 

 Governor has given me in his letters. 



Dr. Bohrer — If there is nothing ! 

 further, Mr. Chairman, I move we ad- 

 journ sine die. 



Mr. France — I second the motion. 



The President put the motion, 

 v/hich, on a vote having been taken, ' 

 W|as declared carried, and the meeting 

 adjourned sine die, at 3:30 p. m.
