OPPORTUNITY FOR BEEKEEPERs

College Park, May 24.-In a letter to
Maryland beekeepers, G. II. Gale, of
the Maryland Agricultural Extension
Service calls attention to the impor-
lance of the production of honey In
view of the threatened shortage of
our sugar supply Mr.. Gale says:
In spite of favorab BILE factors, only
a small fraction of the honey con-
sumed In the State, even in normal
times is produced by Maryland bee
keepers. In fact the condition of the
Bookkeeping industry in the State, as
a whole, is latent and capable of a
grest development.
with a little advertising most of the
honey produced can be easily sold on
home markets, and there is oonse-
quently small need to sell the crop
to wholesalers. The larger preduc-
ers, however by application to the
to the Office of Markets of the United
States Department of Agriculture may
this year secure honey market reports
to be issued in May, July, September
and November, upon which they may
relg for prices and markets.
Here, then, is an opportunity for
the beekeeper to do his bit for his
country and at the same time increase
his business in such way as to make
it of lasting benefit to himself.

County Demonstration Agents Should
Be Consulted In Preparing Mixtures.

College Park, May 24-Since many
Maryland farmers are responding to
the call for more food by planting large
fields of Irish potatoes, it is most i'm.
portant that protection against in.
sects and diseases be insured. In in
structions furnished to the members
OF the boys agricultural clubs who are
growing potatoes, S. B. Shaw, spe-
cialist in horticulture for the Mary.
land Agricultural Extension Service
urges them to protect their crops
against disease and insect attack. He
says:
The careful selection of healthy
seed potatoes will aid materially in
the control of diseases, but spraying
is necessary as preventive measure.
This is particularly true in regard to
the control of Late Blight, which so Sc
riously affects not only the plants, but
also the tubers. Since this disease
develops rapidly, under favorable
weather conditions, it is advisable to
begin spraying before it begins to APP
pear The lower leaves of the plants
are first infected and from them the
disease gradually spreads over the
foliage until the tops are killed
