Boston Symphony
 Still Leaderless

1 Wn{NHEN the pro-German, Dr. Karl | w Muck, was forced to leave
 the Boston Symphony orchestra,
 which he had led for many years, it was naturally supposed that a suc- cessor of high standing would be found to take his place.
 The founder and financial packer of the orchestra, Maj. H. L. Higginson, showed a strong inclination to retain Muck as conductor, but the public protested and virtually demanded the distinguished musicians resignation. "The Star-Spangled Banner" episode was too much for patriotic Boston.
 No one questioned Major Higgin- sons patriotism, but the benefactor and erstwhile idol was criticized for what seemed defiant attitude toward public sentiment. gHigginson became peeved and severed his connection with the orchestra, but leading citi- zens of the Hub had no idea of allow ing the famous organization to be dis banded. They formed a-strong board and set about to find suitable con- ductor. Muck had received salary of $25,000 year, and it was under stood that whoever was chosen in his stead would be paid like amount.
 One after another conductor of recognized ability was offered, the va cant position, but each declined. The last to turn it down was Sir Henry Wood of London> He is one of the really great conductors, and his declination was distinct disappoint- ment not only to Boston, but to all American music lovers who have felt pride in an orchestra that ranked second to none in the world.
 In the meanwhile the Boston Sym phony is fast disintegrating. Even if conductor is shortly secured, so much time has been lost that the work of rehabilitation will be extremely diff cult. Of the ninety-odd players many are now in the military service and

Honey Crop Should
 Be Largely Increased

lWHILE the present scarcity of
 w sugar stimulates the demand for every substitute, honey is perhaps the most popular. Many bee keepers produce honey as side line, but with the progressive farmer it is advanced to the importance of staple, for it can be made a profitable crop year after year regardless of the sugar supply.
 Judge B. M. Allen, lawyer and agri- culturalist, has for sometime past Ipaid great attention to bees. He has one of the largest and most modern tapiaries in the south, but in Alabama he is one of the few who has done much in bee culture. He finds ready customers among the vendors of soft drinks whose beverages require much sweetening. It is reported that he sold large quantity of honey syrup I in Birmingham recently at IS cents a pound. What Judge Allen is doing as honey producer can be done by others if they will only try.
 r The United States department of lagriculture has issued bulletin on "Honey-Bees and Honey Production" which should find it's way into the hands of every farmer.
 About 25o,OO0,O00 pounds of honey lare produced in the United States annually, California being the lead ling state. Honey production, accord ing to the department, could be in creased largely-ten to twenty times the present yield" without an appre- ciable increase in the cost of pro- duction, for the raw material-the nectar in flowers-is at certain times  practically unlimited" To produce more honey i've just need more col onies of bees"
 Successful beekeeping on large lscale requires skill and special train ing, but the work is of absorbing in- terest and justifies all the pains be- slowed upon the industry. Permanent courses in beekeeping are being in- troduced in agricultural colleges, and extension service work is now being conducted in many states.
 Alabama is making steady progress in it's crop diversificatien, and honey should be generally added to our al- ready varied food products.
