MANY BEE SUlns
TAKEN FROM TREES

This summer many farmers have
captured swarms Ct bees that they
found inhabiting hoIow trees a.ong
the course Of Powder river. Perhaps
nifty such swarms have been dtscov.
cred In such haunts Of their own Sc
lection and most Ct them have been
placed in captivity. In most cases care
has been exercised to capture the bees
without injuring them though in some
instances all the honey has been
robbed from them and the little indus
tri0us insects left to starve and freeze
tc' death with the first wintry blasts.
Up and down Powder river in prox-
unity to- alfalfa fields. nearly every
hollow cottonwood and pine tree has
been found to house hives Of bees. Koy

In this county. the yields per acre are
meeting the predicted average per
acre. Wheat will chow an average Of
IS bushels And oats 10 bushels though
there are many stands exceeding both
those estimates. The frequent hail
storms during the early summer ana
the grasshopper plague beth reduced
the yields to considerable extent but
at that the showing IL one Of the best
ever made in this county.
John Leno, residing on the divide
