Mr. Sturtevant also reports that on August 21 he attended the 
funeral of Frank G. Rauchfuss, "one of the outstanding commercial bee= 
keepers of the Intermountain Region, whose loss will be felt keenly, par-= 
ticularly by the Colorado Honey Producers Association of which he was a 
Director and Vice-President. Mr. Rauchfuss was a strong friend of this 
Station. He gave Mr. Eckert much valuable assistance in his work in the 
San Luis Valley of Colorado last summer." 
. °' Jas. I. Hambleton reports that a sample of honey received at 
the Somerset, Md., laboratory "upon examination was found to contain a 
high percentage of melezitose, one of the rare sugars. The presence of 
melezitose in this sample was later verified by Doctor Hudson of the In= - 
ternational Institute of Health, who is planning to obtain as much of the 
honey as possible in order to isolate a large amount of this sugar."
