Last Season, Best
in T,pe,,ty Years
For Honey Crop

That the past two seasons have been
the best for Q honey crop in twenty
years, is declared by local beekeepers
E. c. Wheeler, who has kept bees for
twenty FIVE years or more, says that
the seasons of 1928 exceeded in
production anything he has ever known
in his experience in at least twenty
years
The early part Of 1913 season was
nothing short Of phenomenal for the
making of honey. Then the drouth fol-
lowed, dwarfed the red clover, so the
bees could work it, and the production
kept on. Farmers have called atten-
ton to the big crop Of red clover seed.
and a part of this increase in crop can
be attributed to the bee. Mr.. Wheeler
thinks the outlook for the coming sea-
SON is only normal.
Local beekeepers have been deeply
interested in a wonderful crop of honey
produced by DR.. c. c. Miller at Maren-
go, Ill.,, which has been the best he has
ever known in nearly fifty years OF
bee keeping. Seventy-two colonies.
