Grand Future for Money Last week we had something to say about the effect of the National Pure Food Law on the demand for unadulterated food products. A few days after we wrote the matter referred to, we received a letter from one of the lead- ing bee-keepers and apiarian writers of this country, who, in referring to the glucose manufacturers, said: " I do not now see but what they will have to quit making glucose, if it is a fact that such mixtures, when properly labeled, will not sell.

Grand Future for Money Last week we had something to say about the effect of the National Pure Food Law on the demand for unadulterated food products.

I tell you, Mr. York, I believe there is a grand future bffore the honey-business, and already we are beginning to see the effect of the new Pure Food Law. California honey has been adulterated very largely when it got to the East, you know. That can not be done any more now, and what is the result? Prices are going up very rapidly on that grade of honey. A report from California says that sage honey has now reached a level in price that it has not had for years. Advanced prices in honey are going to mean better days for all apiarian interests. Possibly I am over- enthusiastic, but there are so many things that go to show which way the wind is blow- ing, that I can not help but feel that I am right. Besides, I have been talking with ex- perts on the subject, who express themselves even more hopeful than I ; Not having written the above for publica- tion, we omit the author's name, but we agree fully with him. As we said last week, we believe a new and brighter day is soon to dawn for the producer of pure honey for the market. Producers in other lines, also, feel that prices of pure food products will rule higher for some time to come. This certainly ought to result in greatly increased profits to those who produce such goods.
