In 1^ regard to the picture grading rules, I heartily agree with a number of the writers that a section as light as the one pic- tured as Xo. 2 has no place on the comb hone}^ market, as it will not ship, -s too light to pay to crate or to pay the dealer to handle, and too expensive for the consumer, and serves, only one purpose, and that to dissatisfy the trade, both dealer ond consumer, and to hold down the price of the honest grades. Selling comb honey is, to a certain extent, the selling of good looks, and for that reason only the best should be tolerated among the market grades, and the cull line should be drawn at about the 11 and 12-oz. sections, and at least three-fourths the side surface attached to the wood. \Mien the stand- ard of the market grades is raised it will be much eas- ier to raise and maintain the stand- ard of price. AA' hen a retail dealer sells comb honey it is invar- iabl}- sold by the piece, and while A is selling 16-oz. sec- tions at ?0c. B is selling S-oz. s e c- tions at I'^yic to 15c, and a large number of consum- ers call A h i g h priced and force him to compete with an unjustified competition, Avhicli requires consider- able explanation on his part to over- Gilu Legislative Hall where the Japanese Bee-Keepers Met April 23.
