CBy F. @. HERMAN.) -.
When swarm is seen issuing, or In
the air, the best thing to do is. In gem
eral, simply to wait a bit. The
weather is usually rather warm then,
and rushing about to get tin pans. din
ner gongs, spraying outfits, etc. aside
from the disagreeable features, may
get one so excited and in such a per-
spiration as to unfit him to do with
bees that which is likely to be neces-
sary few minutes later.
They will probably gather in a
clump on tree or bush near the api-
airy, and however formidable getting
them into the hive may at first seem,
nothing viii be simpler
Take a newspaper and spread IT
down in front of the entrance of the
new hive. II the hive has been stand
ing in the shade SO that the boards
composing IL are not heated, If it be
now we'll shaded and plenty OF ventila-
ton be given above and below, the
bees are almost certain to take pos
session at once and begin work ac-
lively.
II you find them on tree, give them
a sprinkling Of water the first thing
you can hold them in this way as long
as you wish, and when shaken from a
limb in front Of a hive, If you sprinkle
them instantly, they will not fly up, as
they otherwise do.
A large increase of bees, and some
surplus honey at the same time, is
something which Ia not likely to occur.
Taking one Eeason with another, the
bulk Of surplus honey Is gathered by
the first or prime swarm. This being
true, it is best to allow only one
swarm to issue from each hive. To
prevent after-swarms. place the newly
hived swarm on its original stand and
move the hive from which the swarm
has issued to new location.
It is from this old hive, of course,
that after-swarms may be expected to
issue. The next morning. as the bees
go forth from this hive to work, they
will nearly all return to the old place
and enter the other hive, making the
colony very strong and in condition to
store great crop.
The other colony win be SO reduced
in numbers that the bees will not be
moved to swarm again and win fall
in with the first queen that matches.
and destroy all the other queens. and
while this colony will probably not
give much surplus, 1t will make a good,
strong colony by the close OF the sea

st. Valentine

What has become of the
young fellows and girls who
used to post each other those
lacey, mushy, lovey- dovey val
entines on Feb. ID? Perhaps
they are still doing it, but the
st. Valentine doings of the
present time seem to be more
Of q kidlet affair.
With what anxious heart the
youth of IL to 10 years of age
used to welcome the coming of
this anniversary! With what
discriminating care he seiec.ed
a gorgeous display of Cupid
emblems to please his lady love!
With what beating heart he
dropped it into the post office!
There is always more or less
calf love among the young folks
at this romantic age. One gets
the impression, though, that
to-day more of their interest
goes into wholesale athletics.
The boy who has passed the
age Of IL should be engrossed
with basket or baseball, not
playing the precocious courtier
to sentimental misses. Mean
while st. Valentine still remains
q jolly old saint, who furnishes
the smaller youngsters a chance
for an exchange of favors.

CAMPAIGN AGAINST
ALFALFA WEEVIL

Summer cultivation and brush drag
ging Is advised by the extension de-
partment of the University of Idaho as
defense against the alfalfa weevil,
which may spread further to the north
unless vigorously combatted. T. H.
Parks, entomologist of the department,
has returned from a trip through the
two infected counties where he found
the ravages of the pest very evident in
the Cache and Malad valleys.
The alfalfa looper Is mistaken for the
weevil by many farmers in southern
Idaho, Mr.. Parks says, but the looper Is
larger worm, is really a caterpillar,
and is not to be feared like the weevil.
1t has parasites which will exterminate
1t In another year or two. SO far the
weevil has not appeared in Idaho ex-
cept in the southern part of the ex-
treme southeast counties, the invasion
coming from Utah.

PEOPLE
KNOW HOW TO BOOST

That the California people know how
to boost their country and to entertain
royalty Is the opinion Of Henry @.
Buck clerk at the Owyhee hotel who
has just returned from the national
convention of the Greeters of America,
which was held in Los Angeles. Mr..
Buck asserts that any talk of slow
times in the southwestern state does
not come from residents. as they seem
to be all boosters and declare that con-
ditions never looked better for that
state than at present and that its yield
this year would be far ahead of any
thing ever experienced there before.
In every town he visited, he stated,
the same kind of optimistic talk was
heard and he comes home with the
opinion that If the Idaho people would
quit talking hard times and see the
flowers Of thrift of the future, 1t would
work wonders in changing conditions
here.
The Greeters were entertained roy
ally in every city they visited, stated
Mr.. Buck, and especially so in Los
Angeles, where the convention was
held In the hotel rooms, he stated,
LlCSh DOWCLo Nclt p1ebCtQ udIly UuI
what to him was of even greater value
was that at the Van Mugs hotel every
evening he found a copy of the Capital
News in his box as did also the other
Idaho delegates. the papers being plac-
ed there through the courtesy of the
house, which provided the leading
papers of their states or cities to all
delegates. At San Francisco, he states,
the Greeters were the first official
party to be taken through the exposi-
ton grounds.
The business sessions OF the Greeters
were short this year. stated Mr.. Buck,
and nearly all the time was given over
to side trips and entertainment, but at
the meeting next year in Philadelphia
1t was agreed to hold a three hours
business session In the morning and
three hours in the afternoon threshing
out many problems and taking up mat
tiers of Importance to the hotel bust
