when young Stinson caught his
tlrst swarm in 1911, he had Just fin
ished the eighth grade. and was. like
boys OF Ia are, quite penniless He
set about to earn some money. which
was immediately invested in bee sup
plies he needed. The next year, his
three swarms increased to IS. In
1913 he had 40 swarms. In 1914 he
had ITO swarms; and in the fall o;
1914, having finished high school,
he mortgaeed his bees for $500 and
enrolled at the State College Of
Washington as a freshman.
With him he brought some honey;
and when interest was due on his
borrowed $500, or he desired to sup
PIGMENT his fund.- he went from
house to house in Pullman, selling
honey to the members of the faculty
and townspeople.
He returned to his home at Nampa,
in southern Idaho, in the spring Of
1915 and found that his bees nad
wintered very well and were hard at
work. Desiring to broaden out bit
he rented 1875 colonies of the Atwater
company of Meridian, Idaho, operat-
ing that summer about $50 colonies.
At the close of the season he had So
600 pounds of honey, for which he
received 5 "a cents a pound. After
paying his rent he had about $1,000
OF his own, but most of this went to
pay debts, including the $500 he had
borrowed. But he again mortgaged
his bees and returned to the State
College
In the spring Of 1916 he bought
the Atwater bees, having discovered
that he had paid in rent for them
$50 more than it would take to pur-
chase them. That year he had half a
carload of comb honey. which
brought him $500. He managed to
pay his outstanding obligations and
had some money left, though his pur-
chase of the automobile at this time
ran him rather close.
Disaster came in 1917. In that
year the grasshoppers came into
southern Idaho and ate up the alfalfa
blossoms. Young Stinson's bees
barely made enough honey for them
selves and to allow him surplus
which he sold for four or five hun
dred dollars. He finished the bee
season $4,000 in debt; but borrowed
some more and returned to college
