This will also help keep inferior honey ofif the market as a table article, where it is an injury to the trade. Let us have some "cooking honey " and "preserv- ing honey" labels gotten oiit and be- gin a little publicity along this line.

The Colorado crop has not yet been secured, but some honey is being taken off, and if the flow lasts through August we can get a little surplus yet.
