there are very few pieces OF land on
which. In our opinion. n crop OF
small grain and a crop OF corn should
be grown the same year Unless one

ter to put cowpeas or SOY beans after
the grain crop. The good farmer

ductiveness OF his land.

BEE KEEPING FOR FARMERS
XU.-Kinds of Bees.

Before the modern system of rail-
roads and a general exchange of pro-
ducts between different countries.
each section had more or less devel-
oped it's own kind of live stock and
farm plants. 1t was the same with
bees. The climate and other local
conditions often produced distinct
variety for each.
The oldest bees are the Egyptian.
From these probably were derived
the Syrians, the Cyprians, the Carni-
CLANS, the Italians and others, devel-
oped locally in countries bordering
on the Mediterranean Sea. Our first
bees in America came from a Ger
man, or North European stock. and
were the common black bees.
After the invention OF the NOV
able frame, which introduced modern
scientific bee keeping, the italian
bee was imported as a supposed i'm
provement and is now extensively
used in this country. Also the Ital-
ians have largely mixed with the
blacks and produced what are COM
monty called hybrids
Our expert bee keepers and queen
raisers generally have italian bees.
but with the common bee keeper hy-
birds prevail, and many farmers in
remote districts still have the old
black bees.
The Italians are gentler bee
and not so inclined to sting. Some
keepers have thought them more in
dustrious, but the blacks really gath
er as much honey. and that Ia the
main object. The blacks won on.
first as honey gatherers in the Pan
American Exposition at Buffalo. So
we should not advise the common
farmer to bother himself about Ital-
ians though they are more ideal with
the expert.
Many special claims for the Ital-
ians have been made by those who
had queens to sell and perhaps with
some reason. but the difference In
practice does not now seem so great
as was once supposed. do not my
self find hybrid bees ill-natured ex-
cept in rare instances and II had
pure blacks I think should like
those also. though they are not so
handsome as the Italians and per-
haps on the whole not so desirable
As climate was strong factor in
working out suitable adaptation. the
Italians are doubtless better adapted
to the mild climate OF our Southern

We have here every variety Of

these in encouraging proportion and

yond all portions OF America the
Southern people have retained that
abiding sanity and racial purity and
simplicity that are everywhere recog-

ment in only the toughest summary.
Speaking In larger terms OF the
future. We have here the resources
and the means to make a commercial
and industrial principally entirely
independent of the remainder OF the
world, should that be necessary. In
manufacturing and in business, in
the professions and In public life, the
opportunities are merely opening. In
