Show OF INTEREST TO BEE MEN '1 An Attempt to Organize Will be H Made Next Monday; the 1st. 'H Mi. Nephl Miller, of the south end M of the county, was In Logan Satutday, ( H and gave authority to announce a H meeting of the beekeepers of this ll county on Monday, Juno 1st, at the 1 court house in this city. Tho time fl set for the meeting Is ten oclock a. m. H and it is hoped and expected that a H goodly leprescntatlon of bcckccpcis H will be present at that time. The j object of the meeting Is to discuss the il advisability of a county otganlatlon. H Mr. Miller is one of the most sue- cessful bcckccpcis In tho state, and M the convention at Ogdcn on April Gth H recognizing him as such, selected him M as vicc-piesldent. Recently the prcsl- M dent of the Stato Association, Mr. E. M S. Lovesy, lias urged upon Mr. Miller H the benefits that must ncccssltlly M acciuc to the bee keepers of the M county as a result of organization and M has suggested that active measures be H taken toward that end at once. H Mr. Miller is enthusiastic In the jH matter and lias an abiding faith in M the piospects of bee culturo so far as ! Cache county is concerned. Lastjear 11 he harvested 15000 pounds of honey for H which he found a ready market at (ic jjH and 10c. He sajs that condltlonsc H for the raising of bees in Cacitc county H arc very favorable, especially in tho H southend, and that a number of bee tH keepers have moved Into that vicinity H dm lug the past two three jcars. H There is little doubt that an organl- jH tlon would piovc very helpful In mini- II orouswajsand those engaged in tills IH business should not fall to feel enough H Interest In the matter to put In their H appearance Monday, Juno 1st, and at H least discuss the matter. H At the iceeiit convention hi Salt HH Lake City, Piesldent Lovesy In his IB addiess, among other things, said: H "When we llrst sought lccognltlon In jH the Legislature they laughed at us jjH they had never heard of the bee In- jH dustry. Rut after getting fairly well M organized and putting our products on H the market hi llrst class condtion nH now when wo go before the Leglsla- ijfl turc we find the law makers Intetested M in our truly interesting Industry. jH And wc have had no trouble In obtain- H Ing the little necessary protection. H We have our bee law amended so that M it is now in very good shape, wiiilo M there Is no big money or salaries In It. M It can be easily put In force and H manipulated for the encouragement M and benefit of the bee Industry. This M is all our bee keepers ask for. Pro- M tcctlon for the Industry, which the M bill gives, Is what has been deshed. M While there Is still room for itti- M ptovemcut, the bee Industry in our M State is fairly well organbed. Resides M the State association we have anitm- M ber of county beekeepers' associations, M tho presidents of which aic county H vice-presidents of the State associa- H tlon. Where there is no county H association a prominent bee keeper is H chosen. What with our county vice- H ptcsldcnts and Inspectors wc should H not have much Double In getting ic- H liable leports fiom neatly all pattsof H tho State. Fiom those reports last H year it lias been dcmonstiatcd that H Utah had the highest average of H honey and the best product. Six bee- keepers mot with the National Ilee- 9 keepeis In Denver last fall and wc took samples of honey and wc can state with all modesty that it was I equal to anything In the convention." H |
