HONEY INDUSTRY HURT eL
TOO MUCH CARELESS WORK

The honey industry of Delta county
which runs well up into the thous.
ands of dollars each year, is suffer.
| ing serious injury by careless spray
| ing on the part of the fruit growers
according to a communication receiv-
ed by the Independent from w. e.
Monlux, a bee man of Eckert His
letter follows:
1T is matter of fact that 40 per
by careless spraying, as most of the
orchard men give us no considera-
tion whatever. One man above me
lost so per cent last year and another
on Tongue Creek lost $1,000 by one
spraying. This man had left the
brush from the last pruning in the
orchard so it could not be moved. The
same condition exists all over the
country. Why. 1t does not improve
the looks of your orchard to let
sweet clover grow over eight feet
high? 1t is an incubator for worms
and then you pay so cents an hour
for help and then lose a large per-
centage of their time trying to drag
the spraying hose through the under
brush. Does that pay or not?
THE man that does not protect his
neighbor's industry is not good citi-
zen in any way. Every man should
help all industry within his town, his
county and his state, be it large or
small If he does not he must be af-
fected with laziness or pure cussed-
ness, probably both. A person that
does for his neighbor only what the
law compels him to do will not be
missed much when he dies or moves
away Now brother try and give the
honey industry the same considera-
ton next year that you give your
merchant or cattle man, or any other
industry in Delta county.
