APPLE CROP BROKE RECORDS
Estimated Production for 1914 Placed
at 25e,ooo,ooo BusheIs-Laraest
Ever Raised.

The apple crop OF 1914 is probably
the largest ever produced in the
United States, being estimated at 1884,
100000 bushels. as compared with 145,-
600 900 bushels in 1918; about 2S5,000,-
coo bushels in 1912; 214,00o,000 in
1911; 142.000,000 in 1910. and 10000
coo in 1909. as reported by the Censre.
These figures represent the total ''ag-
rieultural' crop and should not be
confused with figures representing es-
Inmates of the commercial" crop,
which comprises only the marketed
portion of the total production.
In 1918 the commercial crop was es-
umated at 40 per cent of the total ag-
.icultural production. The census re-
port of $4,000. 900 bushels in 1909 is
the basis of yearly estimates of total
production, being USED IN connection
with crop reporters estimates of per
centage Of a full crop produced each
year.

Couldn't Part.

Louis Halle was a colonel on Gov
ernor Yates staff, and in that capacity
accompanied him to Washington to be
part of an inaugural parade. All the
colonies had uniforms a-plenty, but II
was decided to rely upon the Wash
ington supply of horses instead OF tax
ing the mounts along.
The governor sat on his horse await
ing the parade formation, and from
time to time an orderly would gaIlop
up with an official communication. On
each occasion Colonel Halle was D!

DR.. E. F. Phillips of the United
States department of agriculture says
that it is a conservative estimate to
claim that the honey bee does more
good to agriculture in it's office as a
cross-pollinator than it does as a
honey gatherer. Many orchardists
realize this. and keep bees solely for
the benefits derived from cross-fertili-
cation of the fruit blossoms.

Bees may be successfully kept in
houses having entrances through the
sides of the building. Bees may also
be kept upon roofs of high buildings.
Several experiments with hive

that a low stand is preferable. If the

above the ground the heavily laden
bees returning from The field will
often drop to the ground before reach
ing the entrance, losing considerable
time, if they gain the entrance at all.
II hives are on rather high stands it is
we'll to have q slipping entrance reach
ing nearly to the ground. The hives
may be arranged separately or in
pairs. We are using a low stand con-
tanning two hives with about eight or
ten inches between. Many of the bet
ter beekeepers are keeping bees after
this method and several have the
stands single with from five to ten feet
between.
The hives should all face in the
same direction. and between the rows
there should be sufficient room for
the bees to rise up out of the way of
the operator.
The hive should be placed on a stand
nearly level from side to side, with a
very slight tilt forward to allow water
to run out in case of a beating rain.

A Big Day for Tabor Catholics.

An impressive ceremony took
place at the local Catholic church
Wednesday morning, the occasion
being the investment to the digni-
.ty of Monsignore of the local pas
tor, Very Rev. L. A. Bouska, r.
r.; the i~nvestiture being performs
ed by Bishop O'Gorman of Sioux
Falls, with the assistance of thir-
ty-eight priests. The spacious
church was packed by parishioners
and many from distant points to
witness the impressive ceremony.
Before the services in the church,
the local Catholic lodges and school
children, the girls clad in white
dresses, formed a procession at
the Society hall and headed by the
Tabor Band, marched down main
street to the church where they
were met by the body of priests
chanting hymns, the celebrant
clad in a rich purple gown, taking
Misplace in the rear of them and
followed by his Bishop. The two
professions thereupon joined and
entered the church amid the peals
of the organ. A forceful sermon
during the services was delivered
by Father Vranek of Omaha in
Bohemian, the substance of the
sermon being, that the elevation
OF Very Rev. Bouska to the dignity
Of Monsignore is not only an honor
to him personally, but also to the
parish and parishioners. p.
The distinction and honor has
been conferred upon Father Bou-
ska by Pope Benedict XIV upon
the recommendation of Bishop o.
German while in Rome last fall,
because of his long and distinguish
ed career in the diocese of Sioux
Falls, principally in being q. pio-
neer in developing primary Catho-
lie education and his zeal and labor
i~nymaking the congregation of Ia
Dor what it is.
After the services dinner was
served at.the school house and the
parish for the visiting clergymen.
The Catholics of this place may
feel proud of their pastor end the
honor bestowed upon him by the
highest dignitary of the Roman
Catholic church, Pope Benedict
XIV.
Monsignore Bouska received
many congratulations by telegraph
from clergymen who were unable
to- attend the.inyestiture.
An entertainment and program
to conclude tbs celebration was
given by the school children at the
Society hall in the evening which
was attended by q large number OF
people.
