The Col- orado rules are a little too strict in some ways, not elastic enough as to weight to suit all conditions, as I have had finely finished white honey that would fall ^^2 to 1 pound below the Number 1 weight, requiring Number 2 grade to be assigned it. This wrongs the producer, as practically in poor years we may not have a case up to full weight in 1,000 cases, but according to Colorado rules, we would have to drop 25c to 35c a case, in price, on account of one pound shortage. I think there should be some way of grading this as Number 1 and indicating the weight. The dealer who retails his honey by the cake gets full price, and the producer ought not to lose more than the actual shortage in the weight according to the class or grade to which the quality and finisii of the honey would justly entitle it. But to allow any honey to be put in a case for general market as poor as 3'our sample of Number 2 would be a detriment to all producers, as when you allow so bad a sample to be put into a case, there are so many bee-keepers of so many ideas as to what is fair in selling, it is likely there would be a mixture of culls sold for Number 2 as to disgust every one who would g^et a case of it, while Ijy holding a Number 2 to a good fair weight, but allowing some imperfections in finish it enables producers to sell at a fair price what would otherwise be on hand to dispose of. Possibly would call Number 1 such a grade, but Number 1 to most.
