POINTERS FOR
BEE KEEPERS

A Pennsylvania beekeeper wrote to
State Zoologist II. A. Surface, at Har-
ribsurg, asking "Will combs get too
old for the bees to use? Ought the old
combs be broken out? What will keep
ants away, or will they do any harm !?
Would you advise clipping the wings
of the queen?"
To this Professor Surface replied as
follows:
Perhaps the comb will never get too
old for the bees to rear their young or
store honey in, but the older the comb
gets the smaller the cells become from
the continued filling with the cast
larval skins. The cells become thick
walled and this makes the bees small.
Thus in old combs the bees are much
smaller than those reared in new
combs. Smaller bees will not carry as
much honey as larger ones, and / am
satisfied that it is best to renew the
There is not much loss in so doing, as
they can be rendered into beewaX and
this can be made into foundation and
can be used i'll the hive to insure
straight combs, and save the honey
that would be transformed into comb
if foorda,ion were not used. | believe
in cutting out droue cells, but to avoid
the bees building more drone cells in
the same place, you should fill this
place with worker comb. Sometimes
to fill it with foundation is sufficient.
Ito keep the ant out of the hive,
you can set them on small blocks, and
pat these into shallow plates, or pans,
filled with oil. They need not be very
large in order to keep the ants out OF
them. A screen of wire netting fasten.

II do recommend clipping the queen

the queen, neither does it prevent

The Leaven of Sanity.


The governors assembled at Frank
fort, KY, to discuss uniformity in leg
islation will find, as DR.. Woodrow Will
son told them in his address, that mo
absolute, uniform set of rules is likely
to fit the infinitely varied circum-
stances of the states and their peo-
pie" Yet there is one principle that
may with vast profit be generally APP
piled, and that is the principle Of sane
thought and action, which formed the
very keynote of DR.. Wilson's address.
DR. Wilson added hat the people are
calling for oben leadership today land
they Wish their leaders to be men who
represent them all" True enough, but
in addition to this demand for per-
sonal integrity dwells deep in the
heart a most insistent appeal for sane
leadership, for the spirit of sanity as
the leavening influence throughout the
country. 1t is needed in the making
of state laws and their execution, and
it is needed in the coordination Of
state and national governments. II
the conservative element of this ma
tion-and by that we do not mean the
reactionary element-can evolve out
of the confusion of new ideas a princi-
Pile of sane leadership that can be
fitted into the Infinitely varied cir
cumstances" OF the states and their
people. it will have done enough to
justify itself That is the only hard
and fast rule that we know of that can
be applied in common
Unquestionably one of the big prob
lens of today and tomorrow is in the
proper relation of state and national
authority. The nature OF the new is-
sues which development of natural re-
sources forces upon us makes this so.
These problems are going to perplex
the best minds. They ought, there
fore, have the best thought that all
those in authority can give them, and
under no circumstances should they be
made the means of promoting selfish
ends by appealing to sentiment rather
than sense. Says DR.. Wilson:
We have no foolish or pedantic jealousy
Of federal power. But we do not believe
the Intervention Of federal powers either
necessary or desirable. We are not at
tempting a task of mediation neither are
we trying to fend off revolution.
A good code for the governors to
follow. No Ill is likely to come to
either state or federal power so long
as their coordination is left to sane
and honest leaders. 1t is thing over
which straw men should not be set up
merely to knock down. We are at the
point now where mistakes Of that sort
count most in the summaries. What
needs to be kept constantly In mind is
that every change in method or policy
of government is not necessarily an i'm
provement.

Fir.t puty Of the L.gisIature.

The census return for Nebraska re-
minds us of the most important task
that will be before the incoming legis-
lature-that of redistricting Nebraska
for legislative purposes.
The shifting of population in this
state has been such as to make the
present distribution of membership in
both branches of the legislature so UNI
Just that no argument in favor of a
reapportionment should be required.
This matter has been before the peo-
pie now for twenty years, and one leg
islature after another has avoided or
evaded its constitutional duty, per
petuating an injustice until 1t can no
longer be tolerated Counties of con-
siderable population have been carved
out of what was unorganized territory
at the time the state was last dis
tricted, while other counties that then
existed have increased their population
many fold. II is true that the older
counties Of the state have made de-
cided growth also, but not in proper
ton to that OF the newer sections. 1t
is also a matter of simple justice to
those people who have settled in the
western half of Nebraska that they be
given representation in the legislature
on a basis that will be fair and equi-
table.
While we are about it, We might as
well take steps to obliterate the tradi-
tional division of the state on North
ind South Platte lines. No good rea-
SON can be found for Derpetuating this
political absurdity 1t has entered into
politics for many years and has had
some enect in shaping the course OF
events as to the representation in con-
gress. But the time has come when
Nebraska should not be divided by any
lines, east or west, north or south. The
people of the state are patriotic and
consistently loyal in all other diree-
lions, End why they should be divided
amongst themselves on the basis OF
tradition passes understanding.
II the next legislature will take such
action az will give the people Of Ne
braska proper representation in the
general assembly and clear the way
for the oblitoration OF sectional di
vision. so that the state shall come Il
be considered as a whole. II will per
form a public service greater thar
that of any OF its predecessors.
