SPRING CARE OF BEES.
How the Beekeeper Can Aid In Aug
menting the Sugar supply.

In view Of the probable shortage Of the
domestic sugar supply this year, 1t Is
highly desirable that beekeepers increase
the production to the greatest possible
extent To this end immediate steps
should be taken to insure the proper build
ing up of the colonies before the honey
flow begins.
Bees need just three things during the
spring, and all of these can be readily
supplied by the beekeeper. These are
plenty Of stores, plenty of room for brood
rearing. and plenty Of protection. The
stores should have been provided last
fall. but in case colonies are found which
are not abundantly supplied a strip OF
granulated sugar should be fed. Small
quantities from day to day are usually
less valuable than considerable quanti-
ty all at one time. This may be given
on any warm day. and should. IL con-
venient. be fed in feeder entirely in
side the hive
Room for breeding usually can best be
given by providing each strong colony
with two hive bodies as soon as freezing
weather has passed. The one-stOry, 10
frame Langstroth hive is usually not large
enough for a good queen during the
spring and. Of course, smaller hives
cramp the colony still more. Extra room
will be valueless unless abundant stores
are provided and unless the queen is pro-
life.
In any locality where the temperature
drops to freezing in winter bees need WIN
ter protection, but many beekeepers fail
to realize this. If proper protection has
been given during winter. this should be
left on the hives as long as possible. Ev-
en- IL colonies have been neglected during
the winter. spring protection may help
! wonderfully in permitting the bees to
build UP in time for the honey flow. Pro-
lection from wind Is quite desirable.
II bees have been adequately cared for.
spring manipuations usually are not nee
essary, but every beekeeper should be
sure that his bees are we'll supplied with
the three essentials for intensive brood
rearing. 1t is not advisable to spread
frames of brood in attempting to stimu-
late brood rearing.
Every beekeeper should bend every en-
| ergy this year to increasing the produc-
| ton Of honey. He will not only find it
profitable. since prices will doubtless be
good, but he will be aiding the country
| by providing a product of high food val
ue when other sugars are scarce

HOW TO GROW FIELD BEANS.

The agricultural extension service Of
the University Of Vermont and the COM
mittee on food production and conserva-
ton of the State public safety committee
offers the following suggestions as to the
growth OF field beans.
Soils-Beans do better on well drained
loans or clay loans than on light sands
or heavy clays. They need an abundance
of limei Land that Is too acid to grow
red clover should be lined before beans
are sown. Glover sod or grass sod make
and prepare thoroughly. 50 as to conserve
moisture.
Fertilizauon--If the soil In low in or
ganic matter. apply eight to 10 tons Of
farm manure but do not make heavy ap-
plications Of 20 or more tons lest leaf
growth be forced at the expense of the
seed crop. No manure whatever is need
ed on good clover or grass sod. Apply
200 to 400 pounds of a commercial fertil-
izer containing not over two per cent of
nitrogen and from eight to 10 per cent. of
phosphoric acid. Potash will help If you
can afford the price. Hardwood ashes,
applied at the rate Of 500 pounds per acre,
will furnish both potash and lime. DO
not nike the ashes and the fertilizer but
apply separately. Do not allow either
fertilizer or ashes to come in contact
with the bean seed, as 1t IL likely to kill
lit.
Planting-Use seed that Is free from dis
ease. Look especially for weeviled and
anthracnosed seed. Weeviled seed is kill
ed and anthracnosed seed. IL planted, pro-
duces diseased plants. II the crop is to
be hand harvested. plant in hills two feet
apart. in rows 30 inches. Plant three to
four seeds to the hill. II the crop is to
be machine harvested. plant in drills g
inches apart with a plant every four Ia
six inches. Red kidney beans in drills re-
quire four to FIVE pecks per acre: yellow.
eyes. practically a bushel; pea beans
about three pecks. All three varieties
are standard. Do not plant until the soil
| Ia warm enough for corn. but plant be-
fore June 20 or the crop may fail to ma
ture.
Cultivation-Go over the field with a
weeder or harrow at least once before
the beans come up to kill the first weeds
Whom the crop has come up. care must
be taken to prevent breaking the tender
stalks. DO not cultivate when dew oil
rain Is on the leaves. as anthracnose IL
spread by contact with tools or feet wher
the leaves are moist. 1t Is not safe tc
cultivate deeper than two inches, and II
Ia seldom best to cultivate after blossom
Ing time to a depti greater than one inch
Harvestiny-Stack the beans so the,
will dry without discoloration. Plan Il
harvest when beans are a little damp 80
as to avoid Smelling. Thrash them on q
clear. dry day so that pods will open cas-
lily.

"HALF A CROP IN VERMONT.
By Daniel l.. CadyO


When ! was young I used to hear
The same sad story every year;
The farmers punctually agreed
They wouldn't raise enough for seed
They might have Jest as well set still
They said. and saved their phosphate bill
They might a. we'll ''shut up the SHOP"
There wouldn't be but half crop.
The moon was either wet or dry,
And swung too low or hung too high;
The Dtppcr dipped to much one way,
Though which way twas. they didn't say:
The spring was late or extra late,
land piles Of pullets didn't mate, ;
And IL it rained, or tried to stop.
In either case twas Good Night Crop.
The seeded piece. It didn't ketch
Except to poor mans weed and vetch:
The oats were thin. the crows were thick.
The gardensass was looking sick.
The apples wasn't doing we'll.
There'd be no Astrakans to sell;
And even popcorn wouldn't pop,
That is. not more than half the crop.
I often think what pains they took
To prove Vermont was Sandy Hook;
I wonder what they'd thought or said
ID guess 'twould made their breastbonee
sigh
To work wyoming alkali.
Or II they'd seen a cyclone hop
They might have spoke Of half . crop.
And yet as long as ! was round
I never saw no cropless ground;
/ never saw q crop derailed-
twas croppsrs. not the crops. that failed
The things 10 slow to grow In spring
In summer grew like everything;
They hiked SO fast they couldn't stop
AMI every year rolled up its crop.
Jest start with me what day you will
From Corbett's farm in Underhili
Go up and down tho State. each side,
And note the valleys rich and wide:
See Newbury's meadows. clover sweet.
And them that border windsor Street,
See farms that crowd each mountain top
Then talk to me OF half a crop!

But we'll join in the cry now ascending

From the weakest OF us to the loud

Bow our heads In petition" soft MUIR

Important to Brinkley
People

The Commonwealth Utilities
Company which owns and OPP
perates the Brinkley Light q
Water plant has acquired control
of several plants in the state OF
Arkansas and will secure others
in the near future. The policy
of Mr.. ]. J. Frey Of st. Louis,
who is President of The Com
monwealth Utilities Company, is
to let let the Preferred Stock be
shared by the customers OF each
plant wherever situated. This
policy, followed out by him in
the Southern Illinois Light q
Power Co. and in the Saline
Light & Power Co. as President
of each, has brought about the
very best results.
In this way there is 'Consum-
err Ownership" and a profit
sharing, that is just and equit-
able. This stock can be secured
by subscription to the Preferred
Cumulative 6 Per Cent Dividend
Capitol Stock, of the Company.
AS in the Companies referred to
the price of this stock is placed
at IS per cent, par value one
hundred dollars per share. This
gives the investor above Z per
cent interest on his Investment,
in securities that are backed with
Utility properties Of unquestion-
ed value.
There has heen healthy in
crease in the value of this class
of securities in all the Companies
with whichfMr, Frey il connect
ed. This is pargely due to the
policy above mentioned and to
the system Of consohdated man
agement. The economies intro
duced in management have low
cred the cost to the consumer,
while at the same time, better
equipment has bettered the SER
vice to all. The cooperation of
the people of Brinkley is much
desired by the Company.
