The United States produces far less

80 years. Our food exports, including
meats, show an alarmingly rapid de-
cline. If the converging lines of pro-

Lack of Blossoms in Seasonable
Weather a Honey Factor.
Henry Stewart, the most prominent
bee man in Whiteside or adjoining
counties, reports that the honey bust
ness this year is only about half what
it was in 1908. Mr.. Stewart says that
two conditions contributed to this re-
suit, the scarcity of blossoms during
seasonable weather and the unpro-
pitious weather when there was an
abundance of blossoms. The seasons
output this year will be but 10000
pounds, as compared to an output last
season of 10000 pounds with 100 less
stands of bees. This season 400
stands of bees were used to make TO-
600 pounds of honey The amount af
comb honey is about one-fourth the
whole product, while last year it was
a little more than half Last year
the honey was of the finest quality,
while this season it is very inferior
in quality, most of it being extracted.
Last season there was a large yield
of white clover honey, but this year
there is none to speak Of Last sea-
sons output sought a foreign market,
while this season the market is at
home with better prices for an in
ferior grade.
Mr. Stewart says that the HillsdaIe
yards yielded better this year than
the Prophetstown yards, as the rains
and weather were better suited to the
bees Mr.. Stewart has made about
500 pounds of beeswax and sells it 1T
