lowherb are fine stores for winter,
while honeys from Eastwood, hearts
ease (smartweed), asters, goldenrod,
and most Of the other fall flowers are
less desirable. It is especially impor-
tant during the period when the bees
are in the cellar that the stores shall
be of the very finest quality, and it is
therefore the practice Of many good
beekeepers to feed each colony five
pounds or more of strip made of gram
ulated sugar late in the fall, after all
brood-rearing has ceased. This in
sures that the bees will have for their
use, during the period Of confinement
in the cellar, stores which will not
bring about the condition known as
dysentery. In general it may be stated
that honeys from mixed sources and
dark honeys, except buckwheat, are,to
be avoided. Honeydew honeys are
highly injurious and in all cases where
such stores are present granulated
sugar strip should be fed.
Quantity Of Stores.
From the end of one honey season
to the beginning of the next good
colony Of bees will need fully 45
pounds Of honey. When the bees are
wintered in the cellar. it is usual not
to have all of this honey in the one
hive body in which they are wintered.
1t is good practice to have at least
20 pounds within this hive, although
Is pounds will be safe. It is absolute
ly imperative, however, that the re-
mainder of the As pounds shall be
available to be given to the bees soon
after they are taken from the cellar.
The most common cause Of poor col
Onies in the spring is poverty, directly
due to neglect on the part of the bee
keeper. A good beekeeper sees to it
that at no time when brood is being
reared do his bees have less than Is
pounds of stores in the hive, and the
full amount of As pounds often will
all be used, and is always needed if
the colonies are to come to full
strength on time for the gathering of
the full crop. This amount is al
ways augmented by honey from spring
flowers, for 45 pounds Of honey is not
enough to bring a colony to full
strength in time for the. main honey
flow.

LAUD COUNTY FARM BUREAU
These Organizations Insure Interest In
Cooperation Of Farmers in Pro-
ducing Food.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
1.-THE county farm bureau is one of
the best agencies thus far devised for
insuring interest and cooperation Of
farmers in the great work of food pro-
duction so necessary to the success of
our arms"
This statement was made in tele-
grams of appreciation sent by Clarence
Ousley, acting secretary of agriculture,
to farmers in two Montana counties
who had organized for war farming.
From Chinook, Mont, came the fol-
lowing telegram to the secretary of ag-
riculture:
"Having completed the organization
of the Blaine county farm bureau, $50
Blaine county farmers pledge to you,
as the farmers representative on the
presidents cabinet, their united sup
port as an organization to do their ut
most to help win the war;"
The following telegram came from
Glasgow, Mont:
"Farm bureau organization of VAL
ley county completed with 1926 men,
bers; enthusiastic to cooperate with
department of agriculture in support
ing food administration to the utmost.
Drought conditions prevail, but farm
ers' spirit mistaken. With better
methods of farming, learned through
the farm bureau, agricultural condi-
tons will improve"

The damage caused by erosion In
natural water courses used as canals
and waste bitches is another matter
of grave Importance. Heretofore It
seems to have been largely taken for
granted thai when water reaches the
end OF an artificial canal our
responsibility for it cease
whether the natural water course is
adaDted to carrying the increased vol
ume of water or not. In some instan.
ces. notably in the case of Cedar
creek. the damage done by erosion Is
almost terrifying. The same com
ments that have been made in con-
nection with the question OF seepage
caused by a government ditch are ap-
plicable to this question Of erosion
caused by government water in a ma
tural water course. The further com.
ment may be made that erosion tends
to eat It's way back to important gov.
eminent structures and damage them
beyond repair. The permanent check.
ing OF such damage BY drops and rip.
rapping is rather startlingly expensive
but makeshift protection against ero.
sion is far more expensive in the end.
This leads naturally to the last mat
ter that ! shall discuss-the matter OF
passing on the expenditure OF money
by the government-and shall dis.
cuss that very briefly.

amendment, was unanimously adopt

vote of this association. / hope that
If it is not already in a form that will
be universally acceptable, it will be
quickly put into such form and then
SO generously supported that the
whole question of priorities will be
settled for all time.
The grievance committee has inves-
tigated numerous disputes between
water users and the reclamation ser.
vice and submitted written reports of
its findings. All of these reports have
been adopted by the board. Some OF
the disputes have been permanently
settled. Some of the matters investi-
gated entailed the consideration of
questions of such far-reaching i'm.
portance that their permanent settle
ment was quite beyond the commit
tees province.
The work of the grievance commit.
tee has brought out the fact that
drainage is a question that cannot be
permanently ignored. The question
has three well-defined aspects.
There is the case of the man who
hnC he, l. IL
land free from seepage but whose
land has afterwards been caused to
seep by the construction of enlarge
ment of a government ditch. Should
whole burden of reclaiming land ruin
ed for the general good?
There is the case OF the man who
has bought and improved land which
by the careless or legitimate use Of
water on higher lands. Should this
man be required to bear the whole
burden of reclaiming land ruined for
the good of a few? Should the few
be required to repair the damage?
Who can determine which ones of the
few are responsible?
There is the case OF the man, who.
for speculative purposes. has bought
or otherwise acquired land already
ruined by seepage. Should his specu-
lative venture be rendered profitable
at the cost of the whole project by
the general drainage OF the valley?
These qestions must sooner or later
be answered, and a mere grievance
committee cannot answer them.
The question of drainage has other
aspects, perhaps as well defined AS
those already considered There is
the possibility of recovering water.
which possibility will come more pro.
minently into the foreground as time
goes on, and there is the ever present
aspect of cost. There will probably
be no time for the discussion OF this
question today. but 1t should from this
time forward rec" -, more thoughtful
attention than 1t has received in the
past.

That Ten-Mill Tax

We want teachers to be better
paid, but it's our opinion that 10
mill tax is too steep, If we had
an economical state government,
the teachers could be better paid
and the taxes lovasred. Taxes
have been going up steadily and
the higher they go, the greater
the extravaganza. Education is
a fine thing, but if it costs much
more than it does now, many pa
rents are going to be unable to
give their children any. Between
high taxes and the terrific cost OF
books, our free schools have be-
come the most costly of our insti-
tutions.

Problem for Orange Growers

Absolute and whole-hearted CO.
operation is going to be required
if the citrus industry is to con-
tinue a profitable one. When we
look at the tremendous acreage of
young trees that have taken the
place of pine forests during the
past few years, we hesitate to es-
innate the crop there will be to
market when all come into full
bearing. And yet there will be
no more fruit than can and should
be easily absorbed by the country
if properly handled. But the
problems of marketing and dis
tribution constitute a task that is
not for the individual grower. 1t
is going to take organized effort
and the best talent that organiza-
ton can secure.
