ton Of the state the past spring and
summer IN the interest Of an exhibit
for the st. Louis Worlds Fair, and
other matters pertaining TO the bee in
dustry Of our state, / found that the
indications were very promising, and
as rule where the bees We're strong in
the spring they have done from fairly
well to excellent, and from some locali-
ties the beekeeprs write MS that the
season has been the best In from three
to Ave years, while in some places, ow-
Ing to lack of moisture or other
causes the honey flow fell off consd-
crably the latter part OF the season
But after all II has been season Of
big records and the honey as rule,
has been excellent In quality again,
illustrating the fact that the bigger the
honey flow the better the product,
HONEY FOR THE FAIR,
We have collected for the fair quite
q variety of honey from nearly all
parts Of the state, including the beauu-
tul pure white alfalfa and some OF
light amber. We have our exhibit well
under way, having put up three tons
and win put up more so that we believe
there viii be a creditable showing OF
Utah honey at the exposition.
The aim OF the State Beekeepers' AS
ISOLATION IN this as in all other mat
tors is for the credit of the state and
for the best interest of the bee indus
Try. The association desires that all
possible means be adopted to advertise
Utah bee products and to get them be-
fore the consumers. And this Is one
Of the objects that the Utah commits
sloners Of the st. Louis Worlds Fair
are trying to accomplish and II their
Efforts are successful II Will be bene-
hcial alike both to the producer and
NE consumer
ADuLTERATED HONEY,
We have received complaints OF our
best grades Of honey being adulterated
AFTER u leaves the state and afterwards
solu lu the eastern market as Utah
money This is injurious to the
consumer as well as to the producer,
Many of our beekeepers assert that
when they are able to get their honey
Deiore the people thy always want more
OF IT, Many who buy a little to begin
Elth often buy It by the ton later. As
Jar as adulteration In our own state
j. concerned | can truthfully say that
h " years experience / do not know Of
single Utah beekeeper who ever
alulleraled his honey, and no reflec'
uoh Us intended on honorable dealers.
