Bees and Fruit.

An agricultural society Of Florence
Italy, has recently carried out a thor.
ough investigation OF the alleged In
jury OF fruit by bees and has com.
pietPly eNonerated the latter. Bees are
unable 10 perforate the skin of the
fruit, and 1t Is only incidentally that
they suck the juices of fruits injured
by other natural causes. The damage
sometimes attributed 10 these insects
is due TO poultry. wild birds, wind and
hail. and even more frequently to hOr-
nets. waSps. vine moths and other Ia
sects. Instead Of being harmful tC
orchards and vineyards, bees perform
the useful service of effectinR the
cross pollination Of flowers and hence
the setting of fruit as well as the de-
struction of damaged fruits especially
grapes by sucking the Juice and pulp
and thus preventing fermentation and
rot extending to sound individuals
The orchards and vineyards frequenteG
by bees give the most constant crops

TO ENFORCE CRAB LAW
In TALBOT COUNTY
Conservation Commission Visits The
County to Investigate Complaints.
Members of the Conservation Com

Members of the Conservation Com
! mission-W. Thomas Kemp. chair
! man; VIM. H. killian and j. Edward
. White-tOday visited Oxford, St.
Mlchaels and other Grabbing centers
| in Talbot county to investigate com
plants of nOnenfOrcement of the
grabbing law enacted by the General
Assembly while recently in extra
session. As far as the information
received by the Commission goes,
sentiment in the county is divided as
regards the law, some opposing, while
others are in favor of drastic enforce
ment. The Commissioners will eX-
plain the provisions of the law and
its beneficial results in localities
where complete information does not
exist. At the same time steps will
be taken looking to an enforcement
of the law in localities where viola
lions have been reported. There has
been talk of testing the validity of
the law in the courts.
In its first official bulletin issued
yesterday the Conservation Commits
sion thus discusses the new grabbing
law:
"Th ealarming and continuous de
crease in the supply OF crabs in Mary
land waters proved the necessity for
immediate and drastic efforts to
avoid complete destruction of that
important industry. The legislature
has. therefore, passed Il Statewide
law fixing inches as the minimum
size for hard crabs. and inches for
soft crabs and peelers. and has also
prohibited catching or possessing
esg-bearing female crabs and Snot
crabs or green crabs. This law was
first tried out in Somerset county
where it gave complete satisfaction,
and it has now been made a State
wide measure. The Commission is
convinced that this law is vitality
necessary to save the destruction OF
millions of small crabs which were
being cooked and then thrown out
on the shell pile. This law is Just,
as important for the counties of the
Upper Bay as for the Lower Bay, and
ii is hoped that the crabbers of all
sections will cooperate in assisting
the Commission in carrying out the
letter and spirit of this measure.
which is designed for their own pro-
lection.

The parties to the conference
agreed that the storage supplies OF
poultry in the summer of 1916 were
unusually low because of small oriei-
nal holdings and large export de
mands. This resulted in unusually
high prices to producers during The
fall and winter of 1916. The supply
was Unexpectedly heavy. and large
stocks We're stored at high costs
Then export demands fell off, the
wave of economy affected the home
demand. and the storage stocks mov-
ed slowly. The net result according
to the department, is that almost ev-
