1T has been proposed by proui'-

of bees be bought from outside the
State in such quantities as to get re-

Dudley.
IF all interested in the ABOVE
proposition will write or telephone
their wants to the Department OF
Agriculture. Augusta, it will enable 'tne
bee man to know what can be done 10
help out the orchardists and bee men OF
the State in this emergency. 1t is I'M
perative that this be attended to with
in few days.
1T is conservative to state that. the
value of the honey-bee in cross
fertilizing the blossoms in the orchard
is greater than the value of the honey
production. Many fruit blossoms re-
quire specialization before they
will set fruit, and the same thing is
true of other plants such as clover and
buckwheat. While many wild species
of insects serve this purpose. the

be introduced economically to an or
chard or farm. and, therefore, may
serve as an insurance to cross-fertili-
cation, if the weather permits their
flight during the blooming period. Some
have gone so far as to insist that no
orchard can be properly and completely
pollenated unless some stands of bees
are kept in the district.
Bees then should be found in every
orchard community not solely because
of their relation to the orchard, but
because Of the profit which the honey
itself will yield, and with the scarcity
of sugar this is not to be overlooked.
Therefore. at the present time. it is our
patriotic duty to keep as many bees as
possible: In some parts of Maine bees
are unusually successful.
AN experiment in pollepation was
tried at an experiment station: Where
the blossoms were covered only 80 bore
apples while those pollenated bore
399.
certainly repeated experiments
have been tried to show that every or
chardist needs the bees. Only recent
~ an article was published concerning
an orchard that only bore about 600
barrels of apples. Bees were bought
and placed in the orchard and since
that time the same trees have borne
1900 barrels.
The Ben Davis is self-sterile. Some
other varieties that are more or less
self-sterile are: yellow BellfoWer
Roxbury Russet, Tolman Sweet, Gray

Astrachan.f Growers of these varieties
will see that they must be pollenated in
some manner and certainly the bee IS
the cheapest agency, not asking but
giving returns for its labor"
