oueen-Bee Worker-eee Drone-eee

Queen-Bee Worker-Bee Orone-Bee
queen is fortified only once for life.
1t is thought that there are seemingly
many drones in each colony so that
there shall be no young queen fail of
fertilization If queen should acct
dentally fail to meet the drOne, all
the eggs she might lay would hatch
only drones. In time of scarcity of
food, either within the hive or in the
flowers, the poor drones are driven
from the hive by the workerbees, to
starve Pretty rough on the young
gentlemen!"
The worker-bees constitute the
major portion of the colony, number
ing perhaps 40 to SO thousand or more
during the busy season. They are
reared in 81 days from the laying oil
the eggs, and then do "housework'
within the hive for about Is days aftel
emerging from the cells. During thu
busy working season they live onl.
about weeks, simply wearing them
selves out with work. They will fl
from 4 to 6 miles for nectar. but vii
gather it more profitably within a rs
dius Of one to two miles Of their hive.
Those worker-bees reared late in tn
fall live until a new crop Of bees ha
been reared the following spring
take their places. There are abou
5000 worker-bees in quart or in
pound.
The Queen-bee is rather long an
slender: the drone-bee is clumsy c
stubby in appearance, and is lou
QUEER; and the worker-bee is tn
smallest of the three, but gets thei
just the same" when it comes to worl
ing or singing! The drone has n
singer so he is quite harmless in thu
regard.

SkO0kUM PACKER
FOLK KEEP FAITH
To Deliver Crop to Northwestern
Fruit Exchange AS For
merly.

WENATCHEE, Wash - The Skoo-
kun Packers association at it's post
poned annual meeting elected l. H.
Logue, president; c. ". White, first
vice president; A. f. Munson, second
vice president Miss Grace Lanphere,
secretary }. \. Warman,
general manager, and c. W. White, A.
+. Munson, j. w Terry, +. H. phipps,
b. W Johnson and p NJ. Martin. ex-
ecutive committee.
A resolution was passed providing
for the disbursement of $4,000 of the
assets to the shipping units in proper
ton as this sum had been paid in.
The work will be centralized at Wen
atchee. Disbursement of the $4,000
fund, it is believed, indicates a change
in the advertising policy and the in
tention of the growers to spend less
for this purpose.
United Growers to Be Abandoned.
According to a member of the as
sociation, who is also a member of
the new United Apple Growers, the
United Apple Growers concern will
be abandoned and no attempt made
by this organization to use the
Skookum brand. The members Of the
Skookum packers have until May l to
complete their cancellation as men,
bers and those not completing cancel
lation will ship through the Skookum
association as last year. No unit, so
far as known, has completed cancella-
ton. The Northwestern Fruit ex-
change will handle all fruit of the as.
sociation as it did last year.
The outcome Of the meeting implies
that the record made by the North
western Fruit exchange in handling
the Skookum Packers tonnage was un-
assailable and that the individual
growers, or at least a majority Of
them, are unwilling to make change
or evade the terms of the contract,
which has still four years to run, be-
tween the Northwestern Fruit ex--
change and the Skookum Packers as
ISOLATION. There may be further de-
velOpments Of an important nature,
but it is reasonable to conclude that
the outstanding issues have been set
tied and that the growers will cease
milling around. An effort may still
be made to get the individual grower
to market his apples through another
organization. Those doing SO, how
ever will have difficulty using the
Skookum brand.

BEEBOOkS AND BEE-PAPERS

| doubt if there is another of the
smaller industries that is so rich in its
literature as beekeeping is There are
number of cloth bound volumes de-
voted to the subject, besides six
monthly periodicals that are issued
regularly.
Every one who expects to do any
thing worth whiel with bees should
have at least one of the best bee-boOks
and one of the best bee-papers. The
cost of these is very small compared
with their real value in apiarian infor-
nation. Three dollars and $3.50 for
the two most complete books, and
$3.50 and $1.00 for two of the best
bee-papers one year, surely is not
overmuch The books are really treas
uries of accumulated wisdom concern
ing bees and honey production, and
the papers keep one up-to-date all the
time about the progress in improve
ments both in implements and manipu-
lation connected with Bookkeeping
Please remember that l am ready at

organized the first public school there.
Three years later. when the Benjamin
P. Cheney academy was taken over
by the state as a normal school. Sena.

president. A few months later he was
elected president. a position which he
filled until 1897. when he retired from
school work to engage in farming and
business.
Although not continuing in active
educational work, Senator Sutton has
kept pace with educational develop

man of a commission to investigate
the higher institutions Of learning In
the state. and again in 1920. when the
desperate need OF the common schools
of the state was brought to the atten.

the legislature. a special investigating
committee was authorized and the gov
ernor appointed Senator Sutton to
head the commission. As result OF
matters In Washington. Senator SUIT
ton Is convinced that the real educa.
tional problem In the state is that OF
the rural schools.
FOR many years Senator Sutton has
given much thought to his observation
that country boys and girls are not
receiving the same educational oppOr-
tunities as the city boys and girls.
despite the fact that the property OF
their parents is frequently taxed more
than the property which supports the
city systems. As chairman of the pub
lie school administrative code commits

tigate, and what he discovered in the
way of inequalities startled him
Money was being wasted by. the thou

In nearly every county of the state
the commission discovered that dis
trict taxes ranged from nothing tC
more than 20 mills: that those dis
tricts in which the highest tax levies
were maintained frequently had the
worst schools; that the arbitrary lines
separating one district from another
permitted the concentration of vast
quantities of taxable property within
small areas. thus making the local bur
den of taxation negligible. while dis
tricts adjoining them were poverty

The fair Is an educational clearing

Is physical demonstration Of why the

It is comprehensive exhibition Of

It Is an object lesson In the great

In the, development and cultivation Of
the farm and the increased prosperity
Of the farmer.
Look for Yourself. 80
The chief educational value Of our
fair lies In the fact that 1t Is demon
stratiye In character. The eye is q
more convincing instructor than the
ear. We are slow to accept and be-
ueve In any new method until we have
had optical proof Of its superiority
over the old. =
Often it Is difficult to secure the at
tention Of the busy man or woman long
enough to give such demonstration.
Not infrequently it happens that farm
ers who would be most benefited BY
better methods Of farming are not suf-
fidently interested to be present at
any special meeting called for the pur-
pose Of discussing the subject.
But the fair appeals to that trait OF
mankind which demands entertainment

and amusement and becomes com-
mon forum for the discussion Of all
matters having to do with agriculture,
, industry, the home and the school.
!, In this clearing house Of education
the farmer learns what the manufac'
:turer, the merchant and the banker are
and have been doing to make his la
Dor less arduous and his farm more
profitable and the town resident learns
what rapid progress Is being made In
agriculture. A bond Of common inter-
est Is created which means much to
both town and country.
Value to Everybody.
The farmer learns by actual obser-
walton Of the newest devices and i'm
provements in agricultural imple-
ments. He learns their use and bene-
fits. He learns In what way they
assist In soil cultivation, in plant
growth, in sowing, In harvesting, in
threshing. He learns the economic
value of the more modern machinery,
Of the silo, Of motor power on the
farm.
The urban dweller is- furnished q
vivid picture Of the agricultural re-
sources Of the community. He learns
about the fertility Of the soil In the
vicinity; Of what Is being done to In
crease the farm yield; to improve the
quality Of the stock, and to multiply
the total dairy product.
Every mtAl and woman, whether
town or country resident, is brought
Into closer touch with the home life
of others. All imbibe that broader
education which means cooperation
that Ideal education which Is service
to self and all humanity.
