Record Honey Catherers Are Safely
Packed During Non-Productive
Winter Period.

Oregon Agricultural College, Nov.
! 12.-Plenty Of room, stores, and
protection from unfayorable weather,
is the slogan that has been applied
to ,he record bee colonies at the
Oregon Agricultural College by A.
l.. LJvett, entomologist. The colonies
that laid up a large honey surplus
have been snugly and safely packed
away for the winter
"Some methcd of protection
against the extremes of temperature
of Eastern Oregon and the excessive
moisture Of Western Oregon is
essential" declares Professor Lovett.
Single colonies may be wrapped
with old newspapers and covered
with roofing paper or similar ma
terial. Colonies may be packed in
groups of four or more stands, sur
rounded by large frame filled with
sawdust and covered with water
proof lid"
The exact type of protection de-
pends upon the system of locating
the colonies followed by the in
dividual bee-keeper, points out
Professor Lovett. Suggestions on
solving the wintering problems are
contained in circular which may be
had by writing to the College.

Suddenly a great CRY rang cut:

We did not yet know what manner
of horror it was. None Of us had ex-
perienced an attack of the sort. We
ran to and fro like ants whose hI,s

There were some knots OF soldiers

writhed in convulsions, with yitals

Burglary Among Nopesscgsials.

Among the nonessential industries
which are almost in a state OF collapse
Is the ancient and sinister one Of bur-
Hary. According to data furnished by
a burglary insurance company there
has been decided and favorable
change in the attitude of chronic
recalcitrants since the executive proc
lamatfOn of few weeks ago, direct
ing all ablebOdied men between eight
cen and fifty years old to turn their
hands to industrial pursuits. The
draft, high wages and federal and
state surveillance promises To reduce
crime almost to the vanishing point.
Many sociologists and crin,fnolegists
of the modern school will point to this
as proof of their theories that poverty
is the principal cause of crime 1t will
no doubt be a potential argument in
favor of a revision of criminal laws
after the war.

Save STRAW FOR
FEEDING STOCK
Eastern Part Of State Should
Conserve Straw to Help
!. Stock in the West.

. -. .n.f+"ar -.LL'- ltt'N. . 10
The Herald has received the fol-
lowing valuable suggestions from J.
p. Lamb of Michigan. who is not
only extensively engaged in farming,
but who is also n Of the most pub
lie spirited and patriotic citizens Of
the state:
II think that It is very important
at this time that the conservation Of
u straw in North Dakota should be
given a great amount Of publicity, as
you know the farmers of the western
part of the state have but very little
feed for their stock, while many
of straw.
Through the valuable columns of
your paper, If this was we'll adver-
tised, ], think that our farmers would
consider it a patriotic duty to help
out their brothers in the western
part of the state by giving them
their surplus straw or selling it to
them at a minimum price SO that
they could afford to press and ship
it where needed, instead of burning
much Of it as they did last yeaf. 1t
is certainly a crime to burn straw at
this time. We have a good grade Of
bright straw this year which will
make splendid feed if. properly cared
for. There is but very little rust in
this portion of the state
People in the western part of the
state are already beginning to ship
out young stock as they have 40 feed
to keep them over winter and there
will beNa large percentage of the
stock shipped unless some provisions
are made whereby they cal get feed
at a reasonable price.
II hope that you will give this mat
ter consideration and will give the
public a good story along the line OF
conservation, thereby helping out the
nation and the good name Of the
great state Of North Dakota"
