The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1917-19??, 1917-08-02

When asked whether during the ac-
tivties of the United States in the
war there would be a scarcity of doc
tors in Tennessee by reason of their
services in the army. DR.. Olin West
of the state board of health said he
did not think the scarcity of ply
sicians would seriously interfere with
health conditions in Tennessee. He
said one of the most serious features
of the situation as he saw it was to
be found in the fact that many of the
best doctors would be lost to the state
temporarily or permanently, as the
fates may decree. He said that Ten
nessee's quota was 400, based on popu
lation, and that of this number fully
200 have offered their services to the
medical reserve corps.

BEES NEED PROTECTION
ON TENNESSEE FARMS
Government Has Found That Hives
Well Insulated Give Best Results
In Every Case.

(By c. E. Bartholomew, Division el
Extension, University of Tennes
see, Knoxville.)
Tennessee in 1909 was third in the
humber of colonies of bees among all
of the states in the union. She does
not hold that record now. Her col
onies have been destroyed, partly by
that dreaded disease, foul brood, and
partly because the colonies have not
been protected from the Tennessee
winters.
On this subject of insulation, the
chief of the bureau of entomology OF
the United States Department OF Ag'
riculture has said some things that are
worth the attention of every Tennes'
see farmer.
Beekeepers have repeatedly claimed
that excessive insulation is even more
insulation, because of the failure OF
the colony to warm up on bright days
To test this theory, colony was pack.
