. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. Nov. 10, 1904. THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. 757 Mr. and Mrs. Acklin are genial copartners in' the be and supply business.

The home yard is shown on the front page, also the pictures of the happy Acklin fain ily. Later on we will show to our readers beautiful pictures of their several out-apiaries. On Wednesday morning, Oct. 19, we bade farewell to the Acklins, but not before yielding to an urgent invitation to be present at their next State bee-keepers'convention, to be held in Minneapolis, Dec. 7 and 8. We anticipate an enjoyable time with the Minnesota bee-keepers then. Next week w? will tell where we landed after leaving the Acklins. Mf. Geo. W. Brodbeck, the present secretary of the National Bee-Keepers' Association, sends us the following notice with the request that we publish it in the American Bee Journal: Editor American Bee Journal— Dear Sir:—Will you be kind enough to state that I am not a candidate for the secretaryship of the National Bee- Keepers' Association another year ? Yours respectfully, Geo. W. Brodbeck. Mf. Leo F. Hanegan, manager of the St. Croix Valley Honey-Producers' Association of Wisconsin, writes that their Association is steadily growing, having now 70 mem- bers. They started May 21, 1904. They have shipped two car-loads of comb honey so far, and have fully another car- load to ship. They think that the prices are too low, as their members received net about lOJ^ cents for No. 1 comb honey, and a cent less per pound for No. 2, spot cash at the car. This does seem to be rather a low price for good Wis- consin white comb honey. We are wondering whether the Association was able to realize more on the honey for its members than if they had not belonged to the Association. No doubt the price of honey is altogether too low, as it has not yet recovered from the big crop of last year.
