IOr the D0eS, IHG supply VI hoASs -
duced by Wisconsin this year Will |
show a decided falling off. The long,
hard winter has in many cases reduc-
ed the bees supply of honey below the
danger point If such colonies are not
fed they will dwindle and die, or at
least will not be able to build
IN in time for the honey how.
Only strong colonies are prof
liable producers. Accordin gto the

of fifty or 100 pounds in the amount OF
honey a colony will produce during the
summer. DR.. E. ID. BAH,
State Entomologist, who has charge OF
apiary inspection, states that the pee
keepers should go before notary ana
make affidavit to the number OF colon
les of bees, the number of pounds OF
sugar necessary to carry them through
the season; that the sugar thus Sc
cured will not be used for any other
purpose, and if any part OF 1t is not
used that it will be turned back to the
dealer supplying it. They should also
give the dealers name and ADDRESS.
If such an affidavit is properly filled
out and sent to the State Food Ad-
ministration, at Madison, dealers will
be authorized to furnish the necessary
sugar.
