Hersiiiser. The 47th Annual Convention of the National.—The National Beekeepers' Association was held in Madison, Wis., Feb. 6, 7 and 8. Owing to a severe storm and blockade north and east, very few members were present, about 70 in all. The program opened in the afternoon on Tuesday with a " rouser" by N. E. France, in his address of welcome. President Francis Jager followed with the annual address. In the past year the National has obtained an appro- priation (from the government) of $5000, for educational and extension work, and has obliterated the factional lines, thus paving way for future work. The future work should be on a broad scale, embracing all big activities of the National in separate sections under able chairmanship. Doctor L. D. Leonard, of Minneapo- lis, Minn., spoke on the " Forks in the Road," metaphorically describing the wanderings of the National. He ad- vised for future travel to organize three sections, the educational, the industrial and the legislative, with more to come as need arises. The big discussion of the day fol- lowed an address by Dr. S. A. Jones, of the Bureau of Crop Estimates of Washington, D. C. Doctor Jones ab- solutely proved the correctness of the government honey crop estimates. To give a widespread benefit to beekeepers of the country, he remained another day to confer with a committee on a plan of cooperation between the Na- tional and the government office. The result of this conference was that hence- forth the retail and wholesale price of comb and extracted honey will be asked and given out by the government to those who send in reports and to the officers of the National who will thus be able within a fraction to determine what the real price of honey ought to be at retail and wholesale.
