The seventh day
cut out all queen cells but one--be sure not to leave two. This will
re-queen your apiary, will prevent swarming for that season, will put a
large number of bees into the field--there being no larvae to feed, will
prevent thousands of bees from being hatched after they are of no use as
gatherers of honey, and the honey needed for raising those bees will go
into the supers.
(Continued in July No.)
SECRETARY'S CORNER
NOTICE OF SUMMER MEETING will be found on pages 257-259 of this

THE SECRETARY'S OFFICE during the summer month, will be open as
usual except Saturday afternoon, but the secretary will be in regularly

THE STATE ENTOMOLOGISTS REPORT ON NURSERY INSPECTION in 1915

A GOOD YIELD OF EVERBEARING STRAWBERRY PLANTS.--Mr. J. J.
Kunkel, of Kimball, Minn., writes under date of May 13th: "The three
everbearing strawberry plants I received of you in 1915 made about 250
young plants, of which I replanted this spring about 200. We had a few
berries, but did not expect berries as we let all runners grow."
Who has done better than that in growing No. 1017 everbearing strawberry
plants?
A FARMER ON THE BOARD OF REGENTS.--We are much pleased to note
the appointment of a real farmer in the person of C. W. Glotfelter, of
Waterville, as a member of the Board of Regents of the Minnesota State
University. Mr. Glotfelter is well known throughout the state as late
president of the Minnesota State Agricultural Society, and is at present
occupying the same position with the Minnesota Crop Breeders'
Association. He is a farmer in every sense, as he lives upon a farm
which he has himself worked personally a great many years. We feel that
the horticultural and agricultural interests of the state are especially
well cared for by this board in having Mr. Glotfelter in its membership.
