WISCONSIN HORTICULTURE 
July, 1919 
Two new locals have affiliated 
with the state associations, Ver- 
non county and Price county. 
There are only about 25 beekeep- 
ers in Price county but they are 
alive and progressive. 
Beekeepers ’ Chautauqua and 
School, University of Wis- 
consin, August 18-23 
BEEKEEPERS’ SCHOOL AND CHAUTAUQUA 
August 18 to 23, Madison 
Program 
An opportunity is here present- 
ed Wisconsin beekeepers to get the 
very latest information on modern 
beekeeping methods. Dr. Phillips 
and Mr. Demuth of the U. S. Bur- 
eau of Entomology will give the 
main parts of the program and 
these men are probably better in- 
formed on beekeeping than any 
other persons in the United States 
today. Arrangements have been 
made through the University to 
provide a camping ground with 
water and fuel furnished and 
within easy reach of the street car 
line and lake boats. No better 
opportunity for a vacation can be 
found than this school. For those 
who desire, room and board will 
be provided near the school 
grounds. The expenses outside of 
the traveling to Madison and re- 
turn will be very small. No tui- 
tion will be charged for attending 
the school. Drop us a card and 
let us know whether or not you 
are coming so that we can make 
such reservation as you desire. 
Very truly yours, 
H. F. Wilson. 
The apiary inspection bill is now
