able nature also adapts it to long dis

keeping for q considerable time even
under unfavorable conditions. 1t is
thus an important article of food in
mining, construction and lumber
camps, and other places remote from
sources of food supply. 1t is also used
extensively on the tables of all classes
of people, and it's use is rapidly in
creasing. The former aversion to
onions on account TO their offensive
odor is being overcome as the knowl-
edge of their healthfulness and palat-
ability increases. Whether raw or
cooked, alone or in combination,
onions are appetizing and healthful.
Onions grow best in relatively cool
weather and require an abundance or
moisture during their early stages OF
growth. However, they will stand con.

are of minor importance compared

(By DIR. ]. S. WARD, Tennessee)
Outside of the beekeeping world the
great majority of people think that
the only benefit humanity receives
from bees is the production of honey
and wax. 1t is not generally known
or even understood that bees were
created not so much for the purpose
of gathering the delicious sweet for
mankind, as for carrying the pollen
grains from one flower to another, so
that these may bear fruit and seed.
The real economical value of the bees
is to be found in the work of fertil-
izing and cross-fertilizing seed and
fruit-bearing plants so valuable to
man; the honey and wax is secondary.
The pollination or fertilization of
plants is brought about in two ways;
first, by the wind; second, by insects
Plants whose flowers are small and
inconspicuous, as the willows, pines,
oaks and birches, have very light and
dry pollen, which in favorable
weather may be blown about and pol
Innate many flowers, but often the
wind is ineffective on account of the
pollens being sticky by reason of
moisture in the air in the form of
rain, heavy dew or fog. Most Of the
flowers. however, are not of the wind
bearing" type and require some other
agents than the wind to carry the
pollen, and these agents are the in
sects. Insects go from flower to
flower gathering pollen or nectar for
food, and in crawling over the sta
mems and pistils they get their little
bodies covered with the pollen grains
and easily, effectively transfer them to
the stigmas of other blossoms, result
ing also in the cross-fertilization that
nature demands. Observation and ex-
periments teach that without insects
there is but little pollination and with
out pollination the blossoms with their
pistils wither and die without fruitage.
Investigations made in Germany
show that out of 6,231 visits of in
sects to flowers, 3,481 were made by
honey bees.
The bees need protein as well as

the proper time; but 1t is a very SIM
pie matter to carry in colonies of bees
to insure crop, If the weather is fit
for the bees to fly. Many orchard
lists realize this, and keep bees solely
for the benefits derived from cross
fertilization of the fruit blossoms"
Mr.. Mcintyre at the California State
Fruit Growers association said: "a
man in this state who started into
fruit growing several years ago. To-
Gated thirty-five miles from any fruit
growing section, or where any bees
were located. The first year that his
trees blossomed the result was a com
plete failure He was advised to pro-
cure some bees to aid in the fertiliza-
ton of the blossoms He did so, and
since then his orchard has been Won
derfully productive"
Mr.. G. ]. Berry of Tulare county,
Cal, whose fruit orchard contains over
400 acres, says: Bees and fruit go
together. l can't raise fruit without
bees. l have bees all about my big
orchard. Two years in succession /
have put netting over some limbs of
trees; and, while they blossomed all
right, nary fruit; while on the same
tree, where limbs were exposed to the
aid of bees, plenty of fruit"

carbohydrates to make a well-balanced
ration for the young growing insects.
The honey, which contains the sac
charm or carbohydrates, is stored in
large quantities, but the pollen, which
contains the protein material, Is not
stored in any appreciable quantity; it
Is practically gathered from day to
day Nature thus compels the bees to
use every opportunity to gather pollen
for the maintenance Of the colony
for self-preservation, and thereby in
ducing them to pollinate the blossoms,
which would otherwise be unproduc-
tive.
Doctor Fletcher, in paper read be-
fore the Ontario Association of Bee
keepers, said: 1T can be shown that,
owing to it's size, weight and habits,
no insect is so we'll calculated to in
sure the fertilization of fruit bios
SONS as the honey bee, which flies
rapidly from plant to plant, and, by
running over the flowers in search Of
pollen or nectar, brushes off the pollen
and carries this vitalizing element
on the hairs of it's body to the next
flower visited. 1t will be found that
not only are flowers absolutely neces-
sary to bees, as the source Of their
food-nectar and pollen-but that bees
and other insects are no less neces-
sary to most flowers, so that their
perpetuation may be secured.
This fact should be recognized by
the fruit-grower above all others; for
were it not for insects, and particular
ly for the honey bee, his crop OF fruits
would be far less than it is every
year, and even in some cases he would
get no fruit at all.
Failure in the fruit crop is more
often due, / think, to dull or damp
weather at the time of blossoming,
which prevents insects from working
actively in the flowers, than to any
other cause"
Doctor Phillips says: While the
honey bee is, perhaps, not better
equipped than other insects, especial
" other bees, for carrying pollen,
there is one respect in which it out
ranks all others as valuable asset
to the fruit grower. We are not able
