GOVERNMENT WANTS I.YNDEN
PEOPLE TO RAISE MORE HONEY

The government wants the people
of Lynden to raise more honey.
1t has sent out the following ap-
peal:
About 250.O00,OoO pounds of hon
ey are produced annually in the
United States, California being the
leading state in the production OF
this sweet. Honey production in this
country could be increased largely
ten to twenty times the present yield
without an appreciable increase il
the cost of production, for tha !aw
material-the nectar in flowers is
at certain times practically unlimit-
ed. To produce more honey we just
need more colonies of bees properly
managed. The proposition is very
simple to state, but decidedly diff
cult to execute. Successful beekCep-
ing requires a high degree of Skill,
special training, and faithful, per
sistent attention to the business, so
any marked increase in successful
beekeeping hinges upon educational
work among present and prospective
beekeepers. Permanent courses III
beekeeping are being introduced in
agricultural colleges, and extension
work in beekeeping is now being con
Quoted in many States. The United
States Department Of Agriculture is
conducting emergency extension work
in selected regions, where a consid-
cradle increase i'll the honey crop may
reasonably be expected in the imme-
diate future.
Losses of bees by disease, princi-
pail foulbrood, range during the
summer from nothing to 10 per cent.
Winter losses of bees range from 10
to IS per cent, and i'll come states the
loss was almost SO per cent during
the winter of 1916-17. Winter losses
may be greatly reduced by more care
full attention. The honey production
business, commercially, is getting
more and more into the hands of spe-
cialists. because disease end winter
losses discourage many who are un-
trained and unable to prevent these
losses by proper treatment.
Honey became established some
years ago as a seasonal product rath-
than a staple food for use through
! out the year. The bulk of the honey
was produced by farmers as a side
line, the bees were given little atten-
ton and the honey was produced at
little expense. The crop was market
ed at low prices during the autumn,
and stocks were usually exhausted
during the winter. There was little
demand and practically no supply
during the spring and summer. But
honey is now handled in a large way
as a staple food product through the
influence of commercial beekeeping,
which has had a rapid development
in recent years.
Honey is produced in three forms
Comb honey, in 1-pound sections as
commonly retailed; extracted or Il
ouid honey, which has been removed
from the comb; bulk or chunk
honey, in which the comb Is more or
less mixed with the liquid honey.
From 1914 to 1917 the production of
liquid honey has increased in proper

WILL SAVE LINDEN
FRUIT FOR SOLDIERS
National League For Women's Ser
vice Aims To Preserve Fruits For
Army Use

To save as much as possible of
Lynden district, is the aim of the
local chapter of the National League
for Womcn's Service, which will can
the fruit for the use of the soldiers.
The work of canning the fruit and
making juices of it will be undertake
en- next week, and it is expected that
a great quantity will be handled.
Farmers and others who have fruit
on their trees that they will donate
are asked to notify Mrs. Will Lauck-
hart or Mrs. II. H. Jameson, who
are acting as lieutenants of the ag-
licultural and home economics div
isions of the league. Arrangements
will be made to pick the fruit if nee
essary, or to call for it.
Bottles and jars are needed for
the work. and any who wish to dom
ate these, may leave them at the
Farmers Mercantile Company, or
they may notify Mrs. H. H. Jameson
by phone, and the jars will be called
for.
The League also needs fruit pick
ers, and boys and girls are asked to
volunteer patriotically for this work.
Each year heretofore, hundreds of
dollars worth of fruit has rotted in
the Lynden district for the lack of
pickers, and the League desires to
save as much as possible of this for
the use of the army and hospitals.

has caused CONSERVATION in woolen
factories in America, for it is feared
that this means that England will
utilize her control of raw wool to build
up her manufacturing industries after
the war. On the other hand, it is said
that England could not possibly use
all the wool In her own factories and
will be compelled to dispose Of part
Of it-that her real purpose is to pre-
vent German factories from getting q
supply.
What England intends To do. and
will or can do, is Of course, uncertain.
OF one thing there can be no uncer-
tainty, however, and that is that
America should pursue a policy to-
ward the wool industry which shall
insure an increase in our home pro
duetion to the highest practicable
limit. There is no branch Of agri-
culture that tends more to build up
soil fertility and eradicate weeds than
sheep husbandry. Under the Republi-
can protective tariff policy there was
no branch Of farming that brought
surer returns than sheep raising. for
both mutton and wool. The profits
were not always large but they were
fairly sure. and farming is not noted
for the certainty Of its profits.
This country needs an immense de-
velopment of the sheep industry, not
only in order to make the nation in
dependent of foreign supplies. but for
the prosperity Of American farmers.
In order to assure farmers that they
can depend upon q permanent market
after they have spent years enlarging
their flocks and improving the grade
of their sheep. we must return to the
protective policy. With such a policy
definitely fixed, there would be en-
couragement to farmers to invest in
stock, re-arrange their crop schedules,
erect necessary buildings, and plan to
make sheep and wool one of their an
nusl products.

WASHINGTON NOTES
Another Change Of Mind

The old adage, "de mortuis nil nisi
bonum" might consistently be appli-
ed to William J. Bryan, since political
ly he appears to be n dead one. When,
therefore, the Washington Post at
tcmpts to place the blame on Bryan
for the refusal in 1914 to permit q
loan by American bankers to China,
one is moved, in the interest of fair
play to the under dog. to remonstrate.
Bryan had little, if anything, to do
with this matter, as he had relatively
little to do with any affair Of state
which was considered while he was
Secretary Of State. The sole respon-
sibility for. that refusal in 1914 lay
with President Wilson. who gave out
that he did not propose to see Ameri-
can banking interests mix up in Chi
nese affairs and then come to the Unit
ed States government to make good
its guarantees of China's debt. lie

with q sneer.
II apptdfb says 'he st
dollar diplomacy that policy Tor the
DEVELOPMENT of China formulated in
the Taft administration and so ruth
lessly cast out and abandoned by Sec
reary Bryan, is to be taken back into
favor and adopted by the administra-
tion as its own" The Post refers to
the announcement from the State De
partment that the American govern
ment has agreed to loan of some
$50 OOO, 900 to China by American
bankers, provided that China shall pay
off all her outstanding loans and that
all loans shall be shared by the bank
ers of the United States, Great Brit
ain. France, and Japan. The plain
fact is that President Wilson, the
leader, has experienced another change
of mind because Of the impeiiing force
of public opinion. which seeks to sub
stitute dollars for bullets in the work
of civilization. He is right now, and
he was wrong in 1914. Leader VIII

troll at the National Capital Of our in
dustrial activities Senator Watson
looks ahead and predicts the condi-
tions that will prevail after the war.
As next steps in its socialistic policy
Mr.. Watson anticipates that the Ad-
ministration will seek control of the
mines, the munition factories, and all
other industrial activities, save only
agriculture. "Once clothed with the
authority to seize them" says he, sit
will be easy enough to find a compell-
ing emergency" The reading Of Sen
ator Watson's remarks will be a re
selation to the voter who has per
suaded himself that Wilson and his
advisers can do no wrong, and that
opposition to their wishes is tanta-
mount to treason to the Government.

contributed more than was asked.
To every request the people have
responded with the measure heaped
high.
Now comes the government by the
President and the Secretary of War
and says that the young men under
twenty zone who have completed their
high school training should prepare
themselves for the technical duties of
the closing years of the war and for
the reconstruction period after the
war. College students between the
ages of eighteen and twenty-one will
be urged but not required to enlist in
the army while in college. These en-
listed students will be members of the
army in training just as the men in
the different cantonments arc in train
ing, only, in the language of the Sec
retary of War, "It will be the policy
of the government not to call the
members of the training units to act
i've duty until they have reached the
age of twenty-one, unless urgent mill
tary necessity compels an earlier call. "
The plan will develop a military asset
in young men Of college age and "will
prevent unnecessary and wasteful de
plction of the colleges thru indiscrim
mate volunteering, by offering i'm
mediate and definite military status"
The government proposes preparation
for war and college education at one
and the same time.
Young men, you who have finished
high school and are still under twenty
one, you should be in the college Of
the country. The government wants
you there. As enlisted men, in col
legc, you will be about your country's
business and will be doing exactly
what your country wants you to do.
