HoNBY-A correspondent, writing from San LUIS
Rev. in San Diego county, says The honey re-
gion of Los Angeles, San Bernardino and San
Diego has had SO far, less than seven inches of
rain, and unless we get more very soon-and a good
deal of tive shall have another failure this year.
The great honey plants begin to show the unmis-
taxable signs OF two and four years ago My crop
of honey last year about 81, 900 TBS; the year
before, not q pound Unless heavy rain comes
within two weeks, the blue sage (Which produces
our choicest white honey) will fail entirely. Indeed
from long years OF careful and anxious study of the
conditions necessary to the honey production, am
fearful that plant will fail US, and, il so, the rest
cannot make a crop" 1t is to be hoped that the
above discoursging view may not be fulfilled and
that apiarists may at least obtain some return
from their several hives Although there may be a
partial failure in the extreme southern portion of
he
honey yield presents more promising aspect For
instance, news has been received from Bakersfield,
which states that the crop of the surrounding
try is Showing up we'll Extracting has already
commenced, and shipments thence may soon be ex-
pected. Il must be remembered however, that the
bulk of our supplies comes from the districts In
which the prospects just now are anything but
favorable. We quote Comb 11013c strained
SAGE for dark, and 6a7c u ID for white
