UMAT|LLA BEES
ARE DISEASED

The United States Department of
Agriculture calls attention to the
fact that American foul brood has
been found to exist in Umatilla
county The department has no
means of knowing how long the dis
ease has existed in the region, but
desires to notify bee keepers of the
trouble and to suggest that, if not
already informed concerning the dis
ease, they inform themselves at once.
Very frequently colonies of bees are
destroyed by diseases and the loss is
attributed by the bee keepers to some
other cause. Farmers Bulletin No.
442, The Treatment of Bee Diseases,
gives a description of the brood dis
eases and methods of treatment. It
will be sent free on request to the
Secretary of Agriculture, Washing
ton, d. c.
Attention is also called to the fact
that the brood diseases do not at all
injure honey for human consumption,
50 that there need be no fear on the
part of purchasers of honey.

MILTON TO HAVE A
PRECEDING STATION

Freewater, Ore.-At a meeting held
in the offices of the MiltonFree-
water Fruitgrowers' union large
number of the fruitgrowers discussed
the advisablity of erecting a pre-
cooling station.
d. F. Pratt of the department of
agriculture was present and announc-
ed that if a proper building could be
secured the government would es-
tablish a preceding station here for
experimental purposes.
The great waste in shipping fruit
Is due to the fact that the fruit goes
into the cars in a heated condition
and the consumption of ice while the
fruit is in transition is very heavy.
The preceded fruit would go to the
cars at the proper temperature, thus
insuring it reaching its destination in
much better condition.
The directors will take up the mat
ter and come to a decision at a meet
ing to be held during the week.
