About 250,000,O00 pounds of honey
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 or
twenty times the present yield-with-
out an appreciate increase in the cost
Of production, for the raw MATERIAL
the nectar In flowers-is at certain
times practically unlimited. To pro-
duce more honey we just need more
colonies Of bees properly managed.
The proposition Is very simple to state,
but decidedly difficult to execute. Sue
cessful Bookkeeping requires high de-
gree CT skill, special training, and
faithful, persistent attention to the
business, so any marked increase In
successful beekeeping hinges upon ed
ucational work among present and pro-
spective beekeepers.
Losses by Disease.
Losses of bees by disease, principal
ly foulbrood, range during the summer
from nothing to 10 per cent. Winter
losses of bees range from 10 to Is per
cent, and In some states the loss was
almost so per cent during the winter
of 1867. Winter losses may be
greatly reduced by more careful at
tention. The honey production bust

unable to prevent these losses by prop

Honey became established some
years ago as seasonal product rather
than staple food for use throughout
the year. The bulk of the honey was
produced by farmers as side line,
the bees were given little attention and
the honey was produced at little eX-
pense. The crop was marketed at low
prices during the autumn and stocks
were usually exhausted during the Win
ter. There was little demand and
practically no supply, during the
spring and summer. But honey is now
handled in large way as staple food
product.
Produced in Three Forms.
Honey is produced in three forms:
Comb honey in one-pound sections as
commonly retailed; extracted or liquid
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 proportion to the COM
mercial output of comb and chunk
honey. The bees are able to produce
larger quantity of honey, If they are
not compelled to build comb for it,
and when the comb is emptied and re-
placed in the hive the bees are able, in
periods of heavy nectar secretion, to
proceed Immediately to the storage of
more honey.

The proposed legislation is contained
IN a bill introduced in the senate last

of Illinois. senate democratic whip
Senator Lewis said that inasmuch as
there is considerable talk of ultimate
~ having the government purchase

mines, this legislation offers an excel

The Lewis bill provides for the pur-
chase bv the government of the Vir-
Sirian railway and $4,000 acres OF
coal lands in West Virginia. It au-
thorizes the president. at the earliest
possible moment, through the secre-

Washington, June 2a-(Speciai.)-
Senator Park Trannmell has been ap-
pealed to by several cattle owners of
Florida with reference to the amount
of income tax which they had been
called upon to pay on the gross re-
ceipts of the sale OF cattle, without
being allowed to deduct the original
cost of the cattle. 1t seems that the
ruling had been that the original cos.
of the cattle could only be deducted
provided the cattle we're purchased
for beef purposes during the fiscal
year. 1t appears that In a number of
instances cattle men had purchased
droves OF cattle three or four years
ago and sold them in 1917 and were
called uron to pay income tax on the
gross receipts from the sale OF cat
tie.
Senator Trammel recently took this
matter up with the commissioner of
revenue. Hon. Daniel c. Roper,
and Mr.. Roper advised him that there
had evidently been some rnisapprehen-
sion about the ruling. The following is
the ruling governing such situations as
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1918-06-30
Senator Trar1r1eU Gets
Ruling For Cattle O,Uners

recently issued by the commissioner of
internal revenue:
Where the cost of stock or farm
products purchased in 1916 or any
previous year for resale. or the ex-
pense of producing stock or products
on the farm, has been Chained as a de-
duction or taken into consideration in
ascertaining the farmers liability to
income tax for some year prior to 1917,
and the stock or farm products so rur
chased or produced were sold during
the latter year, the entire proceeds of
the sale are to be returned as income
tax for the year which the sale was
made, for the reason that the farmer,
having once received the benefit of
the deduction. is not again entitled to
it. IT, however. such cost or expense
had not been claimed as deduction, or
had not been taken into consideration
in ascertaining the farmers liability
to income tax for a previous year, the
amount OF such cost or expense may
be deducted from the selling price of
the stock or farm products and the
difference only returned as income"
The above will deubtles be OF inter
est to all farmers paying income taxes
as we'll as cattle men.

1t was discovered by the Pensacola
Journal Correspondent that Senators
Fletcher and Trammell and Mr.. c. f.
Dobson. f ormerly President of the
Pensacola Chamber of Commerce, hao
made numerous calls at the time and
another upon the various Washington
officials and given them the cordect in
formation about Pensacola's harbor
and railroad facilities and had been
unstinting in their praise Of Pensacola
and in their urging that the govern
ment take advantage of what Pensa-
cola had to offer.
But in some way or another, il
seemed the officials had considered
the boost at the hands of Messrs.
Fletcher, Trammeu and Dobson as
springing from their pride and en-
thusiasm over Pensacola. and had still
vorable to Pensacola coming from what
they believed 3: to be uninterested
sources in the departments.
The Journal correspondent acquaint-
ed Senators Fletcher and Trammell
and Mr. Dobson with his discoveries
and they at once set to work to de
stroy the influence of the unfavorable
government report, and to obtain for
Pensacola greater utilization of its
harbor resources.
Some private interests at Pensa cola
have been negotiating with the Ship
ing Board for several months with
view to obtaining backing for building
floating drydock at Pensacola. The
Shipping Board has not turned down
the proposition. but at the same time
il has not extended encoura cement and
backing.
This IS just one of several projects
that Senators Fletcher and Trammell
and Mr.. Dobson are now citing right
behind with increased vigor and some
thing favorable in this and other d.
rections may be forthcoming soon
that will give Pensacola a considerable
boost in an industrial and financial
say.
