prepared by the United States DEPART
ment Of Agriculture.)
About 250,000,000 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 appreciable 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 beekeeping requires a high dc.
gree of 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 10 per
cent, and in some states the loss was
almost 90 per cent during the winter
of 1867. Winter losses may be
greatly reduced by more careful at
tention. The honey production BUSH
ness, commercially, is getting more and
more in the hands of specialists be-
cause disease and winter losses dis
courage many who are unframed and
unable to prevent these losses by prop
er treatment.
Honey became established some
years ago as a seasonal product rather
than staple food for use throughout
the year. The bulk of the honey was
produced by farmers as q 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
We're 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 q comb for 1t,
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,

To find workers with farm expert
ence to help farmers harvest the
wheat crop town organizations, in
Guiding in many cases those which so
successfully conducted the third Lib
erty Loan and the second Red Cross
campaigns, are now uniting their eff
forts.
If the wheat is to be saved, and 9TH
er needed farm work done, there must
be closer cooperation between the
town and country. Nonessential indus
tries must permit their employees, who
have had farm experience, to go to
the country and help during the har-
vest season.
Spend Vacation on Farm.
Commercial organizations should Sc
cure pledges from men who are willing
to devote few days or weeks of their
vacation in the harvest fields, and
should see that these men are placed
when and where they are most needed.
City Y. NJ. G. AS, athletic clubs and
country clubs should open their doors
to these men and give them an oppor-
tunity to take physical exercise that
will prepare them for labor in the
fields. And women's organizations
should volunteer to go to the country
and help prepare meals for the army
of harvest laborers, and In other ways
tighten the tasks of their rural cous-
ms.
The plan which is to be followed is
to bring about coordination of effort
on the part of every agency engaged
in securing farm labor. At meeting
held in Kansas City recently, which
was the first of a series planned by
the department of agriculture, a COM

How jealousy will spoil a good cat
tle.dog is told by Albert Wilhelm of
Greenbush. He says that his Scotch
collie was one of the finest dogs in
the country until he procured pup
for his child to play with. Then the
collie began to sulk-he knew full
well that the puppy was usurper Of
the affections formerly bestowed upon
himself; he saw plainly that instead,
fguratively speaking, Of being one of
the family he was like unto stranger,
and he felt like a tramp. All his am
bition, his willingness to fetch the
cows, left him, and now, as a cattle
dog, he is entirely useless he refuses
to obey his master.

A Washington press dispatch tells
us that a large number Of Hun pris-
oners will be brought to this country
for engagement. After the war,
what? Will they be permitted to re-
main here or be transported to Ger

entail too much risk. Instead Of add
ing to the number of kaiseritic cattle
in this country it seems to us we
should deport the ones we have and
let the kaiser do the rest.

There are those who vociferously
favor standing by the president and
in the same breath denounce Governor
Burnquist. In this connection the
Morris Tribune voices the sentiments
OF loyal Minnesotans when it says:
"Burnquist is going to be reelected
and probably by substantial maiori-
ty. But for man who has stood by
America as he has, he is entitled to a
well nigh unanimous endorsement. He
should not have to fight for his re-
election, but the loyal people of the
state (and that includes many who
mistakenly voted against him at the
primaries) should be happy to regis
ter their approval Of his work. In
other words, for one who has labored
as courageously and wisely as he has
for the success Of the war SO far as it
lay within the power of Minnesota to
contribute to that success, he is en-
titled to the benefit of that same we'll
