MANY HONEY BEES SAVED THIS FALL
 BY QUICK ACTION

Storrs, Conn, Dec. 13-Approxi- mately one hundred and twenty mil lion lives were saved, in Connecticut alone, by prompt action this fall of the Sugar Equalization Board.
 No, these were not human lives. They belonged to honey bees.
 Probably this Is not a third or even a fourth of the total bee popu- lation of Connecticut It represents only that portion which obtained ad- ditional food stores to carry the bees over the winter. The bees thus pro- vided for, live in about four thous- and colonies, each colony being housed in a single hive.
 There has been some complaint because bees could get sugar when housewives could not buy 1t for their families. It savored of "class ia voritism" to come. The Sugar Equal ization Board, which had charge of the sugar situation Of the nation de- cided that the economic loss of a large part of the nations bee popu- lation would be more disastrous than temporary inconvenience of a few human beings. After all, the 10000 pounds of sugar that went to feed Connecticut bees wouldn't go very far if divided among the million and a half of two million citizens of the state, it Is pointed out,
 Professor L. B. Crandall, bee spec ialist for Connecticut Agricultural College, who had charge of the dis trfbution of the sugar allotment in this state, says that the 10000 pounds are exhausted. Sugar was supplied in lots averaging about ten poundssto the colony to some 4,0O0 colonies of bees, 397 beekeepers re- ceiving the sugar in trust for their bees.
 MT. Crandall has been compiling a list of all beekeepers of the state and estimates that there are more than 1,200 of them.
 A new state law requires that every beekeeper, whether he owns one colony or a hundred, must reg ister his colonies with the town clerk.

USE LIGHT 8
 HOURS A DAY
 INSTEAD OF 6

One of the first steps to be taken by MT. Russell, according to Admins trator Storrow, by whom he was ap- pointed, will be to notify all retail stores and those that sell food, that they must limit their daily business periods to eight hours if their light, heat and power is supplied by public utility companies using bituminous coal or coke procured by or through the fuel administration. They may operate nine hours on Saturdays.
 While MT. Storrow was emphatic in statement yesterday afternoon that all retail stores must adhere to this restriction, regardless of whether the heat, light and power is the pro- duet of fuel received through the fuel administration, a telegram from Washington late last night put a diff ferent construction on the matter As the majority of the Hartford de- partment stores use power generated from fuel secured independent of the fuel administration, this was taken to mean that they will not be requir- ed to curtai1 their hours in the midst of the Christmas rush. The tele- gram, which was in reply to one from Mr Storrow asking a modification of the restriction to six hours for stores is as follows:
 By authority of the United States fuel administration and the director of general of railroads, we hereby modify the order of December 8 re- stricting the use of light. heat and power generated by public utility companies from bituminous coal or coke furnished by or through this committee to allow retail stores to use light, heat and power for eight hours a day instead of six, provided they actually reduce the heat, light and power consumed by them 25 per cent"

81 PRICE FIXED
FOR WHEAT CROP
Maintenance Guarantee is
Necessary to Insure Needed
Production, Says Director.

NEW YORK, June 11-Maintenance
OF the government guaranteed price OF
S2.Z6 bushel to the wheat producer
is absolutely necessary to assure the
production needed to care for world
wants, it was declared here today by
julius Barnes, United States wheat
director, presiding at a conference OF
200 representatives Of all the grain in
dustries of this country.
1T Is evident, with the size of the
crop now in sight, that the pressure
for marketing will shortly force wheat
prices in this country back to the gov
eminent guarantee basis" Mr.. Barnes
said, and that buying of wheat in
large quantities by the government
will be the decisive factor in wheat
prices in this country, stabiliZing them
at that guaranteed level.
Those who would restore the farm
prices of past years of depression in
this era of increased prices for labor.
machinery and all the supplies that
farmers require, would tend to throw
the largest basic industry of America
into confusion and decentralization that
would reach far beyond the confines
of the agricultural class alone"
Hits Unrestrained Speculation
Mr.. Barnes declared that wheat must
not be made the subject of 'unre-
strained and unthinking speculation, .
and that 1T is unthinkable that large
private profits should accrue from
food"
That any artificial depression Of
wheat prices would decisively reduce
the prices of other foods was declared
by the wheat director to be pure the
Dry and not capable of demonstration
On the other hand, he said that could
the cid play of would wide supply and
demand be reinstated, wheat might
soar to new heights because of its
food value. Supply and demand, he
explained, do not exercise their Gus
tomary pressure today because the
worlds wheat crop is largely depend
ent upon the overseas food movement.
