In view of the fact that more honey is being produced than can be disposed of under present marketing conditions, the question of distribu- tion and marketing, as above stated, is a matter of prime importance to those in the business commercially. What is the solution of this prob- lem? As a suggestion, I will venture to offer the following: Let local units be established; the county, perhaps, being the unit. Where conditions will warrant, elect manager or special agent who will inspect and grade, according to speci- fied rules, all honey belonging to its members and which is to be placed on the market under a State or National seal or guarantee. A State inspec- tor of honey should visit the various local centers from time to time to determine the conditions of sanita- tion under which honey is being put up and to see that the proper grading rules are enforced. Only members of the State and local organigations are to be permitted the use of the seal, and only after proper local or State inspection. The State organization may be in the form of a producers' league or association which shall provide for supervision of local exchanges, au- thorize the use of the seal under stated restrictions and provide a pen- alty for its misuse; require of local exchanges a semi-monthly report of crop and marketing conditions on blanks provided for the purpose, re- port to local agents suitable informa- tion concerning crops and mai'keting, report to the national body, which in turn will report to the State mem- bership through the State manager. The State Central Association, thi-ough its manager, should serve as a bureau of information in the dis- tribution of honey, bees and equip- ment, furnishing information both to buyer and seller, thus avoiding un- necessary freight charges to and from large distributing centei's as un- der the present system,
