Sept. 10--Final report of honey crop. This information is to be obtained through reporters, of which there shall be not more than six in each State. These reporters will receive the reports of members in their districts, and shall forward his report to headquarters so it shall be received by the first day of each of the six months named. Membership is as follows : Regular members of the New York State Beekeepers' Association, who have paid their membership fee of $1, will have these reports free. Others outside of the State desiring to enjoy the privileges of this Union can do so by sending to the secretary, Mr. Geo. H. Knickerbocker, Pine Plains, New York, $1, with their name and address plainly written. These members will be entitled to the six reports. It is understood that all the members will drop a postal to the reporters in their district on the zoth of each month previous to the one in which the Secretary will report. For instance, on March 2oth, report condition of bees and honey unsold ; April 2oth, condition of bees, and so on. _The Union will do more to help the honey market than anything yet devised. It will enable the keeper to sell his honey intelligently, besides posting the commission houses and buyers as to the state of things. Members must agree not to make these reports public as otherwise the object of the Union would be frustrated. It must be considered confidential advice. You will be able to tell whether it is a short crop or a heavy one, by comparing the first and second reports, and from the last ones you will obtain a clear idea of just what the market is going to be so you can sell intelligently and at good figures. The meeting of the New York State Association was quite a success, though but few members were present. We heartily regret that no steps were taken towards the forming of a grand National or International Association. The subject was discussed and the latter term rather condemned it, as it would indicate something more than a union with the Canadian bee-keepers. In using the term heretofore we had not looked at it in that light. We do not desire to debar our Canadian friends from the association which we hope to see formed at no distant day, and they could be admitted under the term _National_ as well as _International_. The subject of the formation of a representative organization was received with favor, but the meeting being small and the subject so vast, the members desired time to think it over and did not believe our meeting large enough to take any active steps. The intention is that should an organization of a national character be formed, the Honey Producers' Union should form a branch and be somewhat under the control of the great organization to come. We have attended quite a number of conventions, but nowhere have we been better accommodated in every way than at Utica. It is not within our recollection when the association has had such a comfortable time all through. To begin with, Baggs' Hotel is a very fine one, the service is good, rooms warm and table excellent. No one could ask for better, and many of the best New York hotels would profit largely by getting some points from Baggs'. The resolution thanking the propriators was not an empty one, but entered into heartily by every member who patronized the house.
