"What width Of sections shall we use

question asked at a beekeepers' conven-
ton. The following replies were noted
for The American Bee Journal:
Mr.. Hines-I prefer II inch sections
because they are nearer natures way.
Mr.. Bryan would have i; rather
than wider.
Mr.. Merritt-We only get money for
each pound when we ship to the COM
mission men. This being the case, where
would we gain by using narrower Sec
tions?
Frank Coverdale-I think that mar
rover sections will be finished up nicer
by the bees, and while being built they
are capped sooner because the honey
ripens quicker. Then again many gro
cerymen will give IL cents per pound
and sell them over the counter at 10
cents apiece and make good profit.
Mr.. Merritt-There is certainly one
good point-that thin combs in these
narrow sections will be ripened much
quicker.

ST. Cr0ix Valley Land.

Hudson, Wis, July 1S.-Prof. w. A.
Henry visited this locality for several
days this week to collect material for
his Forthcoming book on the agri-
cultural resources of Northern
Wisconsin. In an interview he con-
demned the practice of farmers in
selling pilk in the neighboring large
cities and advocated the establish
ment of creameries and cheese
factories. The lack of a diversity in
crops he thinks is one of the reasons
for the low prices of farm lands in
that part of the state, and he paid a
high tribute TO the value Of st. Croix
Valley lands for agricultural purposes,
which he said were equal in produc-
tiveness to the land in Jefferson, Wal
worth and other Southern Wisconsin
counties.
