BEESWAX

Because he has never had occasion to give the
matter a thought the average reader does not know
that the United States imports annually over three
million pounds Of beeswax. The fact of itself is of
slight interest, but the subject for various reasons
is important enough in the opinion of the depart
ment of to warrant the publication Of
special bulletins on the production of honey and wax
and the trade in these commodities.
More than one-third of our total supply of wax
comes from Portugal, for what reason the bulletin
does not state, but We import from that country
over one million pounds of wax a year. For this
particular article we draw on a very wide territory.
I'VE get a little from Japan, and Alden, on the waylto
India, sends us some. Chile is our largest source
of supply aside from Portugal, sending us half a
million pounds a year. We receive wax from every
continent except Australasia, which does not ap-
pear on the list.
In a score of countries millions of bees are at
work gathering from blossoms of all descriptions
the material which we are later to receive in the
form of honey or wax, and it would be interesting
to know under what sort of primitive conditions in
some little developed countries the work of man.

ANOTHER H E PEST.

AS if there were not already enough enemies Of
the wheat plant, Scotland comes forward with an
other, and we are told that Scottish farmers, suffer-
ing severe losses to their wheat crops through a pest
known as the wheat+bulb fly, are about to break
away from the tradition of their forefathers and
change crop rotation in order to rid themselves Of
this menace. For years experiments have been
carried on to rid the country of the pest, but the
first stage of development~of the fly
stubbornly resists all efforts to kill it. A number
of grubs were taken from the young wheat and put
in a solution of corrosive sublimate, in alcohol,
and such poisons, and although left there
for a considerable time they were SILL living when
despite their experience, attained full size and even
.tually became flies. The only remedy is found to
be a change in the rotation of the cr~ops-something
which a Scot views with alarm.
OfYcourse wheat is not peculiar in being attacked
by enemies which menace its development, and
against which the farmer must fight if he is to con-
tinue to produce. The propagation of any sort Of
plant. or animal tends to induce the development
of pests and diseases which were hitherto un-noticed
even if they existed. Each particular growth pro-
vides a suitable basis for some other growth which
may be destructive to the former. These tendencies
existed before man began the raising of crops and
the tending of herds, but nature herself established
Ia balance which held the various species in check.
Man came along and ~interfered with this balance
i'm particular cases.. He developed wheat and corn
from certain grasses. From the little wild cattle of
ancient times he has developed the special milk,
butter and beef varieties of the present time. Nature
takes advantage of the opportunity which man has
provided, and all at once we have a lot of pests of
which we knew nothing before.
The struggle is an amending one. The methods
of nature herself must be employed to counteract
some of natures own tendencies.
