Crane I have just received the American Bee Journal for April and was much interested in my friend Latham's ap- peal to the "manufacturers of bee supplies," and Kennith Hawkins' re- ply, pages 134-135. Mr. Latham has stated the matter fairly, as the av- erage beekeeper will look at it, and I believe Mr. Hawkins shows very con- clusively why it is impossible for sup- ply manufacturers to reduce their prices and live. He, too, is right, as some beekeepei's will look at it. I believe he is quite right when he says there is no necessity for snowy white sections or show-case shipping cases. Indeed, I believe the average eastern honey looks quite as well, or even better in brownish sections than in very white ones. Unless the honey is very white the white section makes it look a little off color. As for high prices for sections, we have not felt it much as yet, for we ordered a two years' supply some two years ago, getting a discount for putting in our order early, and also, I believe, an- other discount for the large number ordered at one time. As for shipping cases, we may save much. In a cata- log before me I notice they are quoted with glass, at $ per hundred. We use corrugated shipping cases with coiTugated partitions, costing but one- fifth as much. These are quite as good, or even better, and are pre- fen-ed by dealers here in New Eng- land. Here is what one dealer says of it: "We have no words but praise in speaking of it. * * * As you know, we ship this honey over all New England, and wherever it has gone we find the same words of praise for this package, and that it accomplishes all it
