Eeekeepers' Meetings

Three beekeepers' meetings will be
held next week in Maine, according
to the announcement of State Horti-
culturist Frank H. Dudley. The
we'll known bee expert, Louis Gordon
of Ashland, N. H., will be here and
give demonstrations at each meet
ing on the Foul Brood and Bee In
sects. The meetings will be as fol-
lows, with the special places in the
last two cities to be later announced:
Wednesday, June 22-At 10 A. NJ,

Matthews in Bangor.
Thursday, June 23-At 10 A. NJ, in
Augusta or vicinity.
Friday, June 24-At 10 A. NJ, in
Lewiston.
Said MIR. Dudley:
1.-The interest in the bee industry in
Maine is growing and the industry is
recovering from the heavy blow of
three years ago, when many colonies
of bees were wiped out by cold and
long winter together with the foul
brood that got among them. The
interest in bees is now larger than it
has been for years
The Maine State Beekeepers' AS
socation was organized last February
in Auburn and now has about 100
members, scattered all over the State.
If the interest holds up and the in
dustry comes back to where it be-
longs, the association will soon be
much larger.

Crop Reporting in Maine

Commissioner OF Agriculture FRANK
p. Washburn has returned from
Wakefield, Mass, where he was in
conference with v. A. Sanders. the
chief statistician of the Federal Blu
reau Of Crop Reporting. The confer
ence was for the purpose of estab-
fishing a closer cooperation between
the State of Maine and the Federal
Department of Agriculture, in the
matter of crop reporting and esti-
mating, a movement in which all OF
the New England states are taking
part and for which all have made
special appropriation with the posi-
BILE exception of Connecticut.
Mr.. Sanders has already gathered
a valuable amount of information
concerning the 1921 production of
staple crops. He reports the outlook
for fruit as particularly interesting
to Maine farmers-the fruit prospect
for the country at large being for
only Al per cent of the normal yield,
while in Maine the indications point
to an unusually fine crop.
The commissioner during his visit
to Massachusetts also visited the
grounds of the Eastern States Elk
position at Springfield and looked
over the work which is being done in
the way of repairing and improving
the booths which have been assigned
to the State of Maine for its ex-
hibition at the Exposition next
