The Chamber of Commerce OF San
Diego, Cal, is making an effort to es-
tablIsh the production OF raw silk in
the agricultural districts about that
city. Steps have been taken to secure
large number OF silk worms, and
five thousand mulberry trees will soon
be planted. The climate OF southern
California is deemed even preferable
for this industry to that of France, the
home OF silk culture. The consump-
tion OF raw silk in this country is en-
ormous, and the entire supply comes
from foreign countries, principally
from Japan, China and Italy. In 1899
the total imports of this raw material
were valued at s43.5i6,S72.

that they are not munching bran crack

UTAH BEES AND HONEY.

Concerning the bee and honey indus
try in Utah Tor 1900, +, s. Lovesy, presI-
dent OF the Utah Bee Keepers associa-
ton. writes In review and commentary
form as follows:
This season like the one Immediately
preceding may be considered an "off
year" Although conditions were quite
different this year 10 those Of 1899. The
srring Of the latter was very late cold
and stormy and many bees died Of what
IS known as Spring dwindle." Then
later. through copious spring rains
came a heavy flow Of honey. But FOR
the reason named the bees in many To-
c7'ites were too weak 10 gather and
care Tor &c.
put during the past season the spring
orened mn beautifully and the bees as a
rule built up finely during the fruit
blooming period As a consequence
many OF tha bee keepers look for a pros
porous season though a few old far.see-
ing settlers predicted a drouth because
MS they said. there was little snow
iu tho mountains.
This prediction bee keepers found 20
be true. Tn districts where there was
plenty OF irrigation water there was a
bounteous harvest OF honey. In the dry
sections there was little or none. To
make matters worse the grasshoppers
visited the drouth stricken localities
and destroyed nearly an Of the vegeta-
ton upon which the bees subsistcd. The
only plant Of note that escaped their
repacltv was the Rocky Mountain
honey plant But that old enemy OF the
grasshopper, the soagull. came In large
numbers and devourcd them 80 that In
many localities the bees have been able
10 build up again until they are IN good
condition for the winter.
We have received some reports OF
phenome nal yields Of honey, the highest
about 300 pounds We note that a very
few OF our bee keepers have painted
the dark side OF the situation In black
or colors than they really are. OF this
we feel certain We have been to con-
siderable trouble and some expense %
obtain reliable information as 10 the
honey product over the State. In the
south and south central counties the
bees have generally done well. also IN
Uintah, WasRtch. Cache, Weber. and
other places. Some OF our bee keepers
have made ten times as much money
from their bees as they have from their
farms and while the many dealers In
Salt Lake have handled over one mill
lion pounds Of honey one firm alonA
has handled $50 900 " extracted honey
and $4,000 pounds IN section form be-
sides a large quantity OF wax. Now
while we have given some OF the causes
for this falling of there are others.

the majority OF the fruit producers OF
these counties especially are earnest IN
their advocacy OF the spraying Of fruit
trees IN order 90 produce larger and
better qualities Of fruit The great
attention which has been given 20 or
chard disInfectlou has given the people
great insight 10 Orgharding under the
direction OF the STATE board of horu-
culture and the county tree inspectors
and 10 has been a very noticeable fact
that the importing Of California fruits
90 Utah has fallen away materially,
and although the crop this year has
been very large the exporting OF our
fruits has been much less. but this
can be- accounted for because Of the
great demand FOR home fruits and the
number OF canning factories which
have been commenced during the past
three years, and our own fruits are
preferred by the people on account OF
the qualities and delicious flavor which
o. very noticeable when our fruits are
compared with the California products.
CANNING FACTORIES.
"Tle canning factories, which have
been opened up 10 this State have been
q great stimuant to the fruit indus
try and the growing Of fruits Is being
given much more attention than few
years ago. The planting OF orchards
Is very extensive There have been
more fruit trees planted during the
past year by 800 per cent than were
planted five years ago and instead OF
the fruit grower not being so particu-
lar as 20 the kind OF trees he planted
he Is picking out the most choice quail

climate. All varieties Of fruit known
