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

(By C. E. Bartholomew, Division OF
Extension, University of Tennes
see, Knoxville.)
Tennessee in 1909 was third in the
humber of colonies of bees among al
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 ant
partly because the colonies have no.
been protected from the Tennessee
winters
On this subject OF insulation, the,
chief of the bureau of entomology O
the United States Department OF Az
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
detrimental in winter than insufficient
insulation, because Of the failure OF
the colony TO warm up on bright days
To test this theory, colony was pack
ed, in the fall of 1915, with Is inches
of sawdust on all sides, top, and bot
tom. Temperature records were made
at frequent intervals every day
throughout the winter and spring The
colony remained in excellent condition
in every respect throughout the win,
ter. being little affected by high winds
and after brood rearing began it built
up with great rapidity. Then. 20 cen
tinue observation on the effect Of in
sulation On the building up OF the col
ony, the packing was allowed TO re
main all summer Except for the ira
possibility of manipulating the colony
1t remained in excellent condition. I'll
seems clear, therefore, that beekeepers
need not fear any detrimental results
from abundant insulation.

SLAV WANDERER FALLS VICTIM
or Sentinel's Bullet-Did Not Know
to Stop at "HaIt!"

Admission, Ala, May 3.-An un-
known Slavonic wanderer lies dead
in Camp Steiner. His death was
caused through his inability to under
stand English and his ignorance Of
American military customs. When a
soldier on duty at tunnel near Tum-
ling Gap, on the L. and N. Railroad,
called "Halt," the poor tramp did not
understand, but the soldier did not
know he did not understand. The
soldier had been instructed to shoot
any one who failed to answer his
command to halt and the soldier
obeyed orders. He shot and the Slav
fell, mortally wounded.
He was brought to the city on the
first available train. 1t was then dis
covered that he was the same un-
known and friendless outcast, known
as "the bearded German spy" who
had been arrested about three weeks
ago, as a suspicious character, but
who was discharged by the military
authorities when it was found that he
was an innocent and ignorant miner,
from Pennsylvania, who had been
shipped to the State by a labor agent;
that he was not a German, but Slav,
and not a spy. but lonesome,
friendless wanderer, unable to speak
word Of the common language of
the country through which, penniless
| and alone, he was passing.

j. TOWNES HOLLIGNIA N TO TEXAS
Goes to Dallas to Inspect Cold Stor-
age Plnnt and Study Operation.
(Anderson Tribune, Sd

Local capitalists behind the move
ment to erect a cold storage plant in
Anderson hope to have it completed
in time for storing some Of this years
crops. Mr.. Morris, OF the Arctic Re-
frigerator Company, arrived in the
city early this week to discuss the
building Of the plant with the local
promoters. ]. Townes Holleman,
who is to be the manager of the plant,
has gone to Dallas, Texas, accompa-
MED by Mr.. Morris, for the purpose
Of inspecting a plant there OF 25 car
loads capacity, which Mr.. Morris
thinks will about fill the want of
those promoting the local plant. A
plant Of this size will cost about
100000, and if no hitch occurs,
which Is hardly likely, work on the
building will start as soon as Mr.. Hol-
leman returns and makes his report.
AS previously stated in the Tribune, q
cold storage plant will mean much for
Anderson. OF course the bulk of
the business for the plant will come
from local business houses, but far
mers will contribute no small part in
its operation, and with Mr.. Holleman
as manager-he is popular with all
classes of people, especially the farm
ers-his winning personality will
contribute greatly to the popularity
Of the enterprise.

ularly welcome conference such as
this you are holding, the conference
which will acquaint you with exactly
the task as 1t Is conceived here in
Washington and with the ways IN
which cooperation can be best organ
lied. For, after all, the task is COM
paratively simple.
The means OF accomplishing the
task are very complicated, because we
must draw many pieces Of machinery
together and we must see that they
act not only to common object, but
at the same and in common spirit.
My function, therefore, to-day is the
very present function Of saying how
much obliged to you am. for having
come here and associated yourself
with us in the great task Of making
good what the nation has promised
to do--that go to the defense Of vim
dication of the rights of people every
whore to live as they have a right to
live under the very principles of our
own nation.
ut Is thing one does not dare to
talk about because a certain passion
comes into ones thought and ones
feelings as one thinks of the nature
of the task, the ideal nature Of it, of
he opportunity that America has
now to show to all the world what it
means to have been democracy for
145 years and to mean every bit Of
the creed which we have so long pro-
fessed. And In this I think 1t ought
to be easy to act and delightful to CO.
