by the soils department of the College
Of Agriculture, equipped with soil
augers, levels and mapping apparatus.
to do the research work assigned them
by the state geological and natural his
tory survey, in cooperation with the
bureau of soils, United States depart
ment Of agriculture.
During the season Of 1916 groups Of
soil prospectors will visit Door, Rock,
Waupaca and Milwaukee counties in
search Of field data regarding the &C
tual agricultural worth of the regions
in question. The men will live in the
open most Of the time, holding to the
simple life" as one of the requisites
for efficient work.
At the conclusion of the surveys
they will hand in carefully written re-
ports, covering the topography, soil
types, land values, extent Of cultiva-
ton and principal crops in each area.
From this data printed reports will
be issued, accompanied by colored lith-
Ograph maps, showing the location of
towns, farms, lakes, streams, railroads
and the different soil series.
Two kinds of surveys are made
preliminary surveys and detailed
county surveys. The preliminary sur
veys usually include several adjacent
counties in a group, with general data
only. The county surveys enter more
into details and are much more COM
prehensive.
At present about 81 per cent of the
state has been covered in preliminary
surveys, while about II per cent has
been gone over in detail. The work is
in charge of A. r. Whitson and w. ].

Honey is not the only healthful food

sible. Wisc0nsin's yield Of bush and
tree fruits is annually increased to q
great extent by means Of the honey
bee, which carries pollen from flower

Apples, Strawberries, plums, cher

the honey bees excursions. Farmers
who keep bees in their orchards and
among their small fruit paintings have
found them doubly useful, as direct
producers and indirect producers as
well.
It has been said on reliable author
ity that not more than One-twentieth
of the nectar secreted by sO-called
honey plants" is transformed into
honey. The reason is simple-there
are not enough bees present to gather
it.
More bees on Wisconsin farms would
add dollars to the farmers bank &C

line, is proved by the statement Of

So an hour for the time spent in taxi
ing care of them.
Climate and soil conditions, because
they affect the time and amount of the
Towering periods for honey plants, as
well as the range of varieties present,
divide the honey producing regions of
Wisconsin into six distinct areas.
These districts are shown on the map.
Much Of the undeyeloped country
north of the present northern beekeep-
Ing region is fairly well adapted to
Bookkeeping. In this region there
doubtless are numerous places where
good yields of honey from clover, bass
wood, gOldenrOd, and fall flowers could
be secured. AS a whole, WisconSin's
climate, soils and honey plants are
admirably adapted to beekeeping, so
that with the proper encouragement
to the industry, the state should come
to the front rank in this branch of az
riculture, along with Texas, CalifOr-
MIA, and Colorado.
To improve the quality of honey
bees in this state along the same lines
that live stock and pedigree grains
have been bettered is the purpose of a
movement which is now gaining head
way. Bred-for-productio bees of the
Italian strain, noted for their gentle
disposition and resistance to foul
brood disease, have been chosen for
the work.
Cooperative experiments in queen
rearing have been undertaken by the
Wisconsin Beekeepers' association and
the college of agriculture. 1t is ex-
pected that nearly 500 queen bees
will be sent out to honey men Of the
state this year, at nominal prices, and
in this way better grade of stock
will be forthcoming.
