her recipes, calling for honey. Miss 
Annette Snapper of the Pabst Cor- 
poration got out one of the finest 
recipe books on honey and cheese that 
I have ever seen.  It certainly was a 
work of art. 
   The National Honey Week stickers 
those blue stickers that went all over 
the United States and probably into 
many parts of the world were a splen- 
did piece of lithographic art and the 
design was made by our own Lavonne 
Taylor, Assistant to Miss Fischer at 
the Institute. 
   You will be interested to know that 
Constance Luby, Professor of Home 
Economics at the University of North 
Dakota, has just published a honey 
circular, in cooperation with Profes- 
sor Munro.     Their interest in this 
work was developed by Dr. Barnard, 
who has been urging better coopera- 
tion between   the Home Economics 
women and the Entomology Depart- 
ments of the various universities, so 
that joint publications are now being 
issued by some of the experimental 
stations. 
   Although I had    attended bakers' 
 conventions and various bread and 
 cake demonstrations for years in con- 
 nection with the G. B. Lewis Com- 
 pany's Bread Box Department I never, 
 until last year, saw honey demonstrat- 
 ed in the cake baking classes as I did 
 at the annual meeting of the Ameri- 
 can Bakers  Association  at Atlantic 
 City last September. 
   That the Institute has made an im- 
 pression is indicated by the following 
 from Mr. Tom Burleson, Waxahachie, 
 Texas, who says, "I have recently 
 studied the purposes of the American 
 Honey Institute, and I must say that 
 I consider it the greatest organization 
 ever to promote the use of honey, and 
 with the increased use the better the 
 price will be. If the producers knew 
 what an opportunity they had with 
 this organization to better their con- 
 
 
dition, I am sure that they would all 
become subscribers to this fund." 
  The late Frank Rauchfuss, Secretary 
and Manager of the Colorado Honey 
Producers' Association, Denver, Colo- 
rado, said:  "It is my opinion that 
the American   Honey    Institute has 
given the honey industry more and 
better advertising than could be ex- 
pected on the small investment made. 
If  the   Honey   producers  of   the 
United State will give the proper fin- 
ancial support to the Institute, then 
we may expert a decided improvement 
in the   honey   marketing   situation 
reasonably soon.   Larger per capita 
consumption of honey at home is our 
goal, and the Institute's efforts have 
all been in that direction." 
   Mr. W. E. Doty of General Mills, 
Inc., who has charge of a department 
that sends recipes out to bakers, has 
requested Miss Fischer to write out 
her honey recipes on 3x5 inch cards to 
fit the standard card file furnished the 
bakers by General Mills. 
   THE FOLLOWING ARE SOME 
SUGGESTIONS OF WHAT THE 
INSTITUTE MIGHT DO. Many 
suggestions along the line of what the 
Institute might do, keep coming in 
from time to time, and it sometimes 
keeps us busy turning down requests 
for testimonials or special help for 
some individual, whereas the purpose 
of the Institute is to benefit the entire 
industry. 
   It has been suggested that the In- 
 stitute make an effort to educate the 
 consumer on how honey should be put 
 up for the market. This, we believe, 
 is a problem that should be left to 
 the League and the Southern Confer- 
 ence. The Institute can, however, 
 make recommendations but it will be 
 up to the two groups mentioned to 
 see that honey is properly prepared 
 and packaged for the market. 
    Of course, most of you know that 
 Dr. Barnard resigned as President and 
 Director of the Institute on September
