at 30 cents pound, was worth
SO, 900.
Other facts and figures given in
this preliminary bulletin of the
Labor Bureau on Missouri's honey
industry follow:
The federal census of 1910
places the colonies Of bees i'm Mis-
souri, - preliminary figures at
2O3. 500. In this enumeration,
which was made little more than
a year ago, small apiarics in, the
outskirts of the cities and in towns
which did not produce honey in
excess of valuation of $50 in
the preceding year, were not list
ed.
In consequence Of this elimina-
ton it is supposed that fully 3D.
600 colonies were not included in
the count. Anyhow, apiarists
have made such an allowance and,
therefore. it can be conservatively
said that Missouri has 2lS, $50
colonies of bees. But several
times i'm the last decade there were
more. especially in 1908, when
according to State Apiary lnspec-
tor. NJ. +. Darby, the colonies
numbered 225. 621, which. in that
year produced 1896, 735 pounds
of honey and about 2O.51l pounds
of beeswax. Since then Missouri
bees have gone through two severe
years. and now comes the telling
spring and summer of 1911.
At an average production OF
thirty-five pounds Of honey to a
colony. it can easily be figured
what the 1910 yield amounted to.
The hitch, however, comes wher
Ian expert on agriculture attempts
to estimate how many bees it TOOK
to produce 7,649,9l5 pounds OF
honey Missouri is supposed tC
have produced last year.
j. w. Rouse of Mexico, in Au
drain county, who is president o.
the Missouri State Beekeepcrs
Association, and an expert on the
subject, in Il letter recently receiv
ed by the Bureau of Labor Stats
tics, states that in early spring
there will be from 10, 900 to 20, OO(
bees to IA colony, all the old one
having died during the preceding
winter, leaving only the lately
Matched ones to survive and renew
and further perpctuate their kim
and continue the industry.
During the working season TIN
number increases from 25,0OO-i
small colony-to 5000 and Otter
more. Bees weigh from four t,
) five pounds to the thousand, de
pending on how full they are o.
honey.
With an average of 10000 bee,
, to each colony ut the most pros
porous time of 1910, the domesti
bee population of Missouri wa
then at least SAB, 76O,0 900, with
out considering the wild ones
which store their honey in caves
old trees and other out-of-wa
; places, and the ordinary humble
bee, which gets as close as poss
: ible to good old mother earth 70
; its store house.

Pioneer Tombstoners
 To Leave For Frisco

Judge Chas G Johnston and wife expect to leave next month for San Francisco, where they will make their future home. The many friends of ;his highly esteemed couple regret to see their departure from TOnbstone but they take with them the best wiehes of the community wherever they may go.
 Judge Johnston is one of the early pioneers of this city and Is perhaps the oldest resident within the mines of Cochise County. During the pass ing years he has been honored on numerous occasions by election to positions of official trust, and though away from the adopted land of his choice, because of failing health, his thoughts will be certain to finger longingly about Arizona and the historic city ~ith which he cast his lot and became prominently identi- fled.

The gentlemen who object to the Arizona constitution
 will have plenty of oppor- tunity to have 1t amended after Arizona cets statehood As all constitutions have been rather copiously amended including the constitution of the United States, it is a fore gone conclusion that Arizo- mas constitution will also be subjected to the same process as time goes on. The energy which the objectOrs are now wasting should be devoted tC getting statehood, after which the avenue will be open fo, an attempt to have the cOnsti' tuition amended. Those who really want statehood have ceased to howl about the con
 stitution. The above timely and very sensible view is talk en from the Prescott Courier
