The honey pro- ducing industry is a sideline of ag- riculture and the problems of the honey men are seldom shared by . agriculturists as a whole. For this reason the questions scheduled for ; treatment at Salt- - Lake may 'not have wide appeal, as, for instance, questions at a general farm bureau meeting, where conversation of nat- - i ural resources and other topics of f wide interest are touched, but the owner of a few hives will apprecl- - ? ate their close relationship to his activity. The convention will dis- cuss licensing of keepers, rules for grazing bees from outside the state, f marketing of honey, and honey ad- on a national scale.

Over $330,000,000 was expended for such 'equipment in 1925. Power and labor costs of farm crop production bn the average make up about 60 per cent of the total costs. In view of these facts, even minor Improvements in farm machinery will result In large savings.
