a. one OF the best kinds OF honey that
can be purchased in any market. Tho
result is that eastern honey dealers como
to the state every year for the purpose
Of getting all the Colorado honey they
can. This year one firm in the east has
offered to buy every pound Of honey
raised in the state.
For several years past the bee keepers
have fully realized the importance OF q
honey exchange. but could never arouse
sufficient interest for its organization.
But the time has come when the majority
OF the bee keepers are willing to enter
the combination and steps were taken
yesterday at meeting OF the marketing
committee Of the Denver Bee Keeper
association and the executive committee.
held in the state house. looking to the
forming OF such an exchange within the
next few weeks.
A committee was appointed consisting
Of c. b. Elliott, J. E. Lyons. r c. Aiken,
Mr.. whipple and Mr.. Pesse. whose duty
it will be to visit the bee keepers and in
duce them TO agree to ship thsir honsy
10 the Denver exchange. This committee
will also draw up incorporation papers
which will be submitted to joint meet
ing OF the state and Denver associations,
will convene in this city April l3. At
this meeting the final arrangements for
the incorporation OF the exchange will
be made and the selection Of those who
will have charge will be decided.
The object OF the exchange is to in
crease the price OF honey. As il 10 now
there ia no organization among the honey
raisers. they accepting the prices offered
them by the eastern dealers. When the
exchange is organized the eastern deal
ers will have to go to it for the Colorado
honey and pay the prices demanded. 1t
will be the duty OF those in charge to
watch the market and see that they get
the best Of prices for the honey shipped
them by the members Of the association.
Fully two-thirds Of the bee keepers in
the state are anxious to enter the COM
bine. The promoters OF the scheme
claim every bee keeper in the state will
join the association when they learn how
they are to be benefited. Even il a Few
decline to enter it will not affect the ex-
change. as the amount Of honey those
men will have for sale will soon be pur-
chased and then the eastern men will be
compelled to so to the exchange for the
rest. The honey which will be handled
at that exchange will be sold at the
highest market prices and there will be
no cutting Of pricee.-Denver Republi-

The directors Of the Chamber Of Com
merce met and for two hours and half
discussed sugar beets. H. j. Holmes
was before the directors and made a
report Of the work he has been doing
among farmers in the western part OF
the state. and the manner in which they
are takiug the question up. The
directors Of the Chamber Of Commerce
are full Of enthusiasm on the question
Of sugar beets and everything has been
sidetrscked until this work is brought
to successful lcompletion. After months
OF debate and consultation Of authorities
the Chamber has decided upon the fol-
lowing list Of Instructions which viii be
mailed all over the state:
Seed may be planted as late as June
10. The beets will be ready to harvest
in October.
Break up land Il inches deep.
Use no dressing OF any kind.
Irrigate as soon as planted.
Not over four irrigations should be
given the crop.
Do not irrigate after. August %. rs
from that date the sugar begins to &C.
cumulate in the beet and growing should
stop. Too much water is more injurious
than NOT water enough.
Plant rows IS inches apart.
Thin plants to 4. 5 or inches.
Begin thinning and wedding when the
plants are inches above ground.
Use \ pound Of seed to 4 rods Of
ground.
When beets are harvested call in three
neighbors to measure the ground and
weigh the beets and let them affect by
