Bee Culture in Iberia.

There is no branch of agricul
ture that responds to the human
touch more readily than does bee
culture, and it is a strange thing
to note so few bee keepers in 6
country, where there are so many
honey producing flowers as there
are in our surrounding country
where tons Of the best honey to
be produced, go to waste, and
where we have such long, pro.
pitious seasons. Aside from being
solely an agricultural pursuit, bee
keeping is also a heartful, anus
ing and profitable side line. It
is one Of the most interesting and
absorbing distractions any bust
ness or professional man can in
dulge in. 1t is restful. interesting
and very instructive, in that it is
a wonderful study of nature. and
carries one back close to nature.
Aside from its honey gathering
qualities. the honey bee is man s
best friend in the work it does
pollenizing and cross-polleniziny
of our fruits. berries and flowers
Of every kind. Without the honey
bee our country would be prac-
ticallv fruitless, as there is no
other means known, whereby this
absolutely necessary essential can
be performed with the effective
ness as by the honey bee.
The idea that honey bees sting
without provocation is an erron-
eous one. 1t is probably one os
the most inoffensive insect
known. and never uses its sting
except as a weapon Of defense;
therefore the popular fear Of the
bee and its sting is greatly exag-
gerated, very much to the. injury
Of the bee, and agriculture gen.
orally.
A colony Of bees is capable Of
being manipulated in every con-
ceivable way; they can be assisted
or retarded in the production of

RROUSSARD RAPS BUILDING
ROADS OF SAND AND
GRAVEL.

In the Times Picayune yester.
dav we observed the following
article sentiments Of Senator-elect
f. s. Broussard on road construc-
ton. We are more than pleased
to reproduce it as it bears ont
our contention that gravel road
building is a useless waste Of
money in this section of the noun-
try. His letter was as follows:
"Public highawys should be
constructed out Of concrete, vitri-
fed brick. or durable materia, Of
a similar nature, and the policy Of
building roads out Of gravel
abandoned, according to the view
point Of Senator-elect Edwin s.
Broussard. who has devoted con-
siderable time to study Of the
road problem.
Mr.. Broussard believes this
question should receive the atten-
ton of the Constitutional Con-
and that neither state or
federal aid should be given to a
highway project that does not
provide for hard-surfaced perina-
nent roads.
"'I gladly avail MYSELF Of the
opportunity afforded me, through
your recent request to express my|
views on the most important
question of good roads, S." Mr..
Broussard said. "To my mind
here is nothing more important
or the welfare Of our people
han good roads. The lack Of
protection bv proper tariff rates,
# the farmers products and bad
Dads are responsible for the fact

THE FIGHT FOR A SMALL
TARIFF ON SUGAk.

Standardized BrousSard with a
number of cane growers nave
been at Washington for several
DAYS in the interest Of the LOUIS
lana sugar planters. The pur-
pose of their visit is to Law claims
for a two cent duty, so that the
farmers will have some sort OF
protection enabling them to re-
eeive fair profit for the product
which seem reasonable and far
considering the protection that
was generously given numerous
other articles put Oh the list. II
is unfortunate that the larger re
finng interests charged the Lou
isiana planters with wanting TO
boost prices at the expense of the
people, intimating that 1t was "a
profiteering scheme, when in Tact
these assertions are absurd. 81
gar is selling below cost of pro
duction and there is no reason III
such a market, save that an IN
adequate tariff has permitted un-
fair foreign competition with our
home planters and the defiatlon
scheme on the part Of the powers
that-be completed the wreck.
Sugar should at least command a
price that will justify its produe-
ton. The people are Wiling to
pay reasonable price for sugar
and it is unreasonable to expect
the planter to grow cane at loss.
All that the sugar growers wish IS
a price for cane that will yield a
reasonable profit on the invest
ncnt The infinltesimal amount OF
two cent duty is just clam
and we trust Congress Will do the
right thing for the planters.

HERDS BEING TESTED

Two federal state inspectors have
been busy in Marshall county during
the past week inspecting herds in the
western part of the county for tuber-
culosis. The inspectors are working
on the 80 herds in the county which are
to be tested. DR.. j. r. Po0ley Of
Crookston is in charge Of the testing,
assisted by DR.. Hedine, also Of Crooks
ton. The herds which are being test
ed are those whose owners have ap-
piled for tests through the farm bureau
Office during the winter and spring.
The testing is the result of an effort
on the part Of the farmers to clean up
their herds and is worthy of the utmost
commentator. 1t is considered a
great source of satisfaction to the own
er of the herd and also the consumers
of the milk that the herd is an accred-
tied tuberculosis clean herd. There are
more accredited herds in the state of
Minnesota than any other state In the
union, according to the inspectors.
Minnesota has total of 1000 accred-
tied herds while it's nearest rival, Wis
consin, has but 600 accredited herds.
The herds are considered accredited
when they have passed second tuber-
culosis test and shown that they are
free from the disease.

Fight To Congress


Minnesota farmers and other spring

fight fol. grain grade changes straight

laws, coupled with threatened raj lroad
congestion IL state grades should be
adopted, caused the state board of grain
appeals to ignore the legislatures re-
solution instructing 1t to restore old
Minnesota grades. Instead, It adopted
federal standards.
Officers of the Minnesota Farm Bu-

to Congress. Representatives Of the
state federation, together with Mime
sofa legislators and railroad and ware
house commission experts, are in Wash
ingt0n this week. They are testifying
before the house committee on agricul-
.ture in an effort to obtain passage of

bill would give the spring wheat pro-
ducers the changes they want, while
doing away with dual standards, and
leaving grades for other parts of the
country unchanged.

HEssIAN FLY DISCOVERED

The Hessian fly and list larva was
discovered In various wheat fields In
the western part Of Marshall county
last week by B. r. H0user, county
agent. Thy fly is distinctly wheat In
sect but will breed also In barley and
rye. The parent insect is a fragile
dark-colored gnat about one-eighth Of
an inch in length, resembling closely a
small mosquito. AS observed hidden In
the base of young wheat plants, the In
sect appears in the form of a magget
or larva, known as the fax seed state.
The injury to the plant Is done alto
gether by the larva, which feeds on the
tissues and juices Of the plant and
eventually destroys It,. For control
measures farmers are urged to see the
county agent. The county agent has
also discovered true stem rust on wild
grasses and fox-tail just outside Of
NewfOlden. s # ss.E

LOWER SHIPPING RATES
ARE SOUGHT BY FARMERS
Bureau and Sales Agency Officers Fikht
For Charges BASED on Debated
Prices.

Every livestock shipper in Marshall
county has had personal representa-
tive fighting for his interests before the
state railroad and warehouse commits
sion in the last week.
Lower commission rates on the South
st. Paul market were asked. Repre-
sentatives of the Minnesota Farm Blu
reau federation and the Minnesota Co
operative Commission association APP
peared in the interests of the farmers.
They argued that commission charges
should be based on the present de-
creased value of farm products and on
the deflatiOn tendency Of the times.
Hearing on commission rates were set
for June "a, and on rates of hay and
feed, and other charges on the South
st. Paul market for June ~.
w. A. McKerr0w, manager of the
commission association, was to repre-
sent the 200 local shipping associa lions
which have agreed to market their
stock through the new farmers sales
agencies. F. L. French, secretary of
the farm bureau federation, was to
represent that organization.
The principle for which the farmers
contend, Mr.. McKerrow said, is that
all charges should be based on the de-
lated value of farm products. Adop-
ion Of that policy, he said, would mean
lower rates.
