Monsoon TELLS ABOUT
The BUSY LITTLE BEE

When we attended the little old red
school years and years ago the teach
er was constantly quoting the old poem
beginning, How doth the little busy
bee," and then trying to make us fol-
low in the footprints (fguratively we
hasten to quote) of that little insect
whose ability to work and create moral
lessons has been the curse of boyhood
life on the farm ever since the first
long haired, but cold-hearted profess
sor discovered the bees particulars
penchant. We couldn't answer the
teachers argument then, but with our
superior correspondence school knowl-
edge acquired since, we should point
out the fact, that if the cuss works so
hard in summer he-or rather she
sleeps all winter. All of which leads
us to state that Mr.. Monson, the apiary
expert of Fargo, gave one of the most
interesting addresses of the week. His
story of the queen bee was excellent,
but we should not like to suggest the
life history of the queen as an ideal
story of moral edifying. OF course, all
she does is to exhibit a highly femin-
lied trait of jealousy, but as she in
cidentally kills her rivals and muir.
ders her affinity, we really should not
care to have our moralists draw on the
bees too much.
Mr.. Monsoon showed the bees at
work, told how they swarmed and
gathered honey, told Of their habits
of hive sanitation and Of the general
profits of bee keeping until we were
almost decided to buy a bee and 60
into the business. But If we do we
shall keep it chained in the yard and
hire some tonsorial artist to bring in
the comb each day.
Mr. Monsoon gave three addresses in
all, two in the auditorium. and one to
the farm boys. His remarks we're
practical and authoritative on the SUB.
ject.
Mr.. Monson gave fourth lecture
this morning at the request Of Sec.
Karr to the farm boys. It was along
the lines Of caring for and handling
the bees. Many Of the boys, as re
suit Of Mr.. Monson's inspiring talks,
are going back to the farm to I'M
dertake the business Of bee keeping.

SEED CROP INSPECTION

During tn time while the grain is
in head, insofar as is possible, we will
send an expert to examine any crop
which is being grown for the purpose
of selling pedigreed or improved seed.
This enables the inspector to report to
the pure seed laboratory the quality
and purity of the crop as found grow
ing in the field. If after this the crop
is harvested in good condition., and
sample Of the same is sent to the pure
seed laboratory so as to have it ex-
amined as to strength of growth, it
will be possible for the state seed
commissioner to certify to the quality
of the seed produced, publish list Of
the names of the growers and send
this list to all parties who wish to buy
good seeds. This helps the grower Of
the seed and helps the person who
buys the seed to raise good crop. It
is also useful to wholesale seed houses
and other parties in buying seed for
sale and distribution as seed for SOW
ing purposes. We will have four men
in the field for about two months Wis
iting crops for those who wish this
work done.
In order that we may route the men
so as to make the best use Of their
time, l would be glad to hear from any
parties who wish to have their crops
inspected, either in the field or in the
bin. Kindly name the kind Of crop
you wish inspected, your post Office,
box or route number. If you wish this
work done, write at once, so that we
may get in touch with you. Address
