Islanders Win Saturday.

The Islanders won their second
game in the Central association Sat
urday afternoon, downing the Bur
lington Pathfinders to the tune of 5 TO
2. Kinsella took the mound for the
locals and with the exception OF one
had inning was invincible.
The Pathfinders pushed two runs
across the platter in the seventh, ty-
irg the score. when Singleton singled,
Harmon tripled to right and Mc'1Iade
singled, after two men were down.
Outside of this one bad session only
three men faced the local slab artist
in each inning and he held the Wis
itors well in hand. A fast double
play in the ninth kept Burlington run
ners from counting again, when Jack
ran back of second and speared what
resembled a Texas Lacquer, doubling
Meinert far off the initial sack. The
locals hit Miller hard in but one in
ming, the eighth, but his wildness
cost a number of runs. The score:

Iava,s Teak Forests.

Teak forests in Java cover 1,4S0,O00
acres. and, as the area reforested is
two and half times as large as the
rea felled in a given time, this magni-
ficent stock of timber is continuity
increasing. pest Of the Java teak
plantation is alang grass Gmperata
arundinacae). In order to prevent the
incursion of this plant, as hoeing is TOO
expensive, the foresters SOW legu-
minous plant, luecena glauca, between
the rows of teak seedlings. This chokes
the alang. keeps the soil clean and en-
riches the soil in humus and nitrogen,
and ultimately disappears with the in
crease of the forest cover.

The average honey production per
hive is Is pounds in Washington, Is
pounds in Oregon and 81 pounds in Cali
fornia, which means that modern,
scientific methods of bee culture have
been somewhat developed in California,
and not, probably, that nectar resources
are necessarily 50 different.
Different Colors.
Different plants naturally produce
nectars of different colors, flavors and
qualities and upon these inherent diff
ferences depend the characters of the
various kinds of honey. Apple blossom
honey, in regions where the apple bios
som Is fragrant and secretes nectar in
quantity, the writer considers the most
delicious of all honeys. Along with the
eraze for appearances generally the
water-white honey of the linden, or
Eastwood, and the white sage, of South
ern California, have been, in the past,
accorded the place of honor. However
most people do not eat honey with their
eyes and we are beginning to appreci-
ate stirling qualities of flavor and
aroma in even dark honey.
Probably white clover yields more
honey, the country over, than any other
plant, and the honey ic a bright amber
Of excellent quality. The other clovers,
alslke, sweet, red and alfalfa along
with the related peas, vetches and To-
Gusts all yield honey abundantly and
of the same general type. Then there

prune, cherry, apricot, almond, tulip,

others; another list of Towering shrubs

manzanitas, laurels, currants, ampelop-

Important Crops.
Several important crop plants, cot

to be conspicuously flowery to be a
rich paradise for these Industrious per-

more imaginary than real. To study and

3 EES are valuable for the honey CROP
- but may be even more so for their
work in pollenation of orchards, clover,
alfalfa and buckwheat. Few farmers
realize the value of the honey crop.
For Washington, Oregon and probably
the greater part of California not 10
per cent of the nectar is gathered.
Bowsfield says: ~ have a yard of bees
which worked in a faild of buekwheat
containing about ten acres. No other
buckwheat was within reach of them.
They brought in over 5000 worth of
buekwheat honey from this small field.
This is an average of over $40 per acre.

cured a yield treble the above from

He also speaks of securing $3.50 worth
Of Eastwood honey from a grove of less
than ten acres. These are crops which
ought not to be allowed to 60 to waste.
Some of the larger factors in the
problem of honey production are indi-
Gated by figures from the thirteenth
census as follows:

count how many blossoms she visits in
and are likely to be small, shriveled
and woody, unless seeds are forming
within. 1t has been claimed that bees
carry the germs of fire blight to the
pear blossoms; and the experiment was
tried on a large scale in Colorado of re-
moving all the bees from a pear raising
locality. The result was that the blight
was not appreciably decreased, the crop
was practically worthless and the bees
had to be brought back.
Effects Of Stormy Weather.
Cold and stormy weather during fruit
bloom is often supposed to be the cause
of orchards not setting well. This may
be, however, in the main an indirect
cause, the weather preventing the bees
from working freely In such seasons it
has been observed that an oval area in
an orchard Immediately surrounding a
hive, and with the long diameter down
the wind from it, has secured a good
set Of fruit. Considerable observation
Of the prune orchards in Oregon the
present spring has suggested strongly
that we may have here, at least, par
tial reason for the failure of the crop
of Italian prunes. Careful attention
to this point throughout the prune dis
tricts this season may shed much valu-
able light on this problem.
Hunter, in Kansas, demonstrated al
increase of over Sc per cent in the seed
crop Of alfalfa from field near which
honey bees were kept as compared with
a field 25 miles distant from the near
est apiary. Later observations carried
on by number Of Experiment Sta.
tions for the past eight years, while
showing that they are of some impor-
tance, indicate that bees are not as ef-
fective pollenizers Of alfalfa as they
were formerly supposed to be. There is
similar problem in connection with
the raising of red clover seed. After
years of selection and breeding, it is
confidently claimed that we have at last
secured long-tongued strain Of honey
bees which work on red clover. Has
their presence increased the yield of
clover seed anywhere in the Pacific
With the enormous production Of

straight from nature for himself.
Polenization by Bees.
1t is commonly said that no stone
fruit-cherry, prune, peach--will "set"
at all unless insect pollenized. Just what
insects we have in any locality to do
this is a study by itself. In most local
tiles very few insects of any kind are
active during this early bloom. All the
native American bees, wasps and horn
cts are solitary, wintering over only the
fertile queens. With the honey bee we
have social colony of from 10000 to
10000 active workers ready to swarm
out into the early spring orchard bloom.
The experiment has often been tried of
tying netting over a branch of fruit
tree during the entire period of bloom
and then comparing the number of
fruits set on this branch with similar
branches of the same tree. 1t is COM
monty found that there is no set on the
covered branch in the Ease of any stone
fruit.
With the pome fruits, apples and
pears, the case is somewhat different.
A few apples apparently yield as well
without cross-pollenation as with it.
Most apples are improved by fertiliza-
tion with some other variety. Pears de-
pend much more on insect fertilization
