Since the distribution of Bibliographical Contribution No. 2l, 
listing the publications on apiculture contained in the Department Li- 
brary, keen interest has been manifested in the Beekeeping Library of the 
Division of Bee Culture. Prof. H. F. Wilson, Custodian of the Miller 
Memorial Beekeeping Library, at Madison, Wis., has contributed a number 
of missing volumes, and the library recently received through the kind- 
ness of Dadant and Sons, Hamilton, Ill., manufacturers of comb foundation 
and publishers of The American Bee Journal, all the books on beekeeping 
published by them, including translations of some of their books into 
Russian, Spanish, French, and Italian. 
The second paragraph of a statement issued by Secretary Hyde on 
December 26, 1930, is of particular interest to beekeepers. In giving 
the status of corn sugar under the Federal food and drugs act it is stated 
that "The use of pure refined corn sugar as an ingredient in the packing, 
preparation or processing of any article of focd in which sugar is a recog— 
nized element need not be declared upon the label of any such product." 
Furthermore, “Nothing in this ruling shall be construed to permit the 
adulteration or imitation of any natural product such as honey by the 
addition of any sugar or other ingredient whatever." 
E. L. Sechrist attended the annual meeting of the American Associ- 
ation for the Advancement of Science in Cleveland, and presented a paper
