Surely Secretary Hutchinson is doing his part to get up an interesting and profitable program. The Michigan State Bee-Keepers' Asso- ciation is also putting forth special ef- fort not only to insure a large attend- ance at its own meeting, but also that of the National.

Mr. Robert Gibb is the other inspector, taking the North Island. Mr. Gibb was. secretary of the Southland Bee-Keep- ers' Association, while Mr. Bray was secretary of the Canterbury Bee-Keep- ers' Association. There are two other organizations of bee-keepers in New Zealand—the Hawkes Bay and Wai- kato. Mr. Bray has promised to send for public
