OPIUM PROBLEM is SERIOUS
waited in China, Bees Stop
Making Honey.

Some unexpected results are found
from the movement against the pro
duction of opium in China. In the
Yunnan, one Of the provinces where
opium was produced in large quaint
ties and at low price and where a
great deal of it was consumed, it ap-
pears that the poppy is no longer cul-
tiyated, owing to the recent measures,
and the poppy fields have quite dis
appeared, according to the. statements
made by Doctors Talbot and Rigaud.
However. this has had disastrous ef-
feet on the honey culture of the re-
gion. In fact, the honey from Yunnan
was renowned for its quality, but as
the bees find no more flowers, the
production of honey is stopped as well.
The new crops which replace the
poppy, such as wheat or peas, are
not such as will give honey yield as
well. On another side Of the ques-
ton, il appears that the habits Of the
population are not suppressed by the
present legislation, as some supposed
would be the case, but according to
Doctor Talbot, opidm-snoking is again
