to operating apiaries on trucks.
Fessler was supposed to have taken
his bees from Indiana to Florida
on the train and compared to the
method which Clark proposes, he
'st the travel time between
two states Clark plan would be
to drive along leisurely and give the
bees a chance to gather honey by
the way as they went, so they might
actually pay their way by taking
honey out of the flowers that bloomed
by the roadside.
According to the poem, Fessler's
bees worked fine on the plan for q
time but they soon tagged out from
plan that while one might, at first,
smile over it, has arguments in it's
favor. 1t frequently happens along
the California coast and bee sections
that growers experience trouble about
their fruit, vegetables and other
growth p5llenizing properly. 1t is
an established scientific fact that bees
perform vital function in flower
pollenization and if Clark, who has
been made president of his company,
can prove that the bees produce
more honey through policy Of
hauling them from orchard to orchard
and from field to field, they may
not only add profit in honey but
do a necessary work in making the
orchards and fields more fruitful
because of better pollenization OF the
buds. There is a vast interest in
the honey bee in California and the
Clark experiment will work there
if it will work anywhere, in the
opinion of those who have heard OF
the plan he proposes.

OF VALLEY CONFER
WITH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
BOARD over SMOKE PROBLEM

In order to present to the Douglas
Chamber of Commerce the problem
farmers of the Sulphur Springs val
ley say, is giving them their largest
difficulty in bringing about profitable
production from their lands, a dele
cation of three members representing
the Sulphur Springs Valley Protective
association attended the session last
evening of the chambers board OF
directors. Their statement reduced
the problem to one word of five
letters. That word was Smoke" The
smoke comes from the smelters OF
Douglas and the committee declared
that it is proving a real hazard to
many classes of vegetable growth
They told in detail of much damage
which they attributed to this.
The delegation, which was COM
posed of Henry j. Bowland, Pete
Percola and T. w. Kirby, presented

to the flowers. and carry his load
of honey back to the hive more
frequently that there would be a
big increase in the profit to the
owner of the apiary. In other words,
they determined to put the bee
upon a modern efficiency basis and
to stop that leakage in effort caused
by lack of motive power on the part
of the bee and would enable it to
make the largest possible collection
of honey within a given number Of
hours.
And, having determined all those
facts. Clark and his associates have
decided that the bee snouid have
auxiliary motive power assistance in
the form of the automobile. They
propose to have movable apiary ac-
commodations in the form of trailers
which can be moved from orchard to
orchard by means of truck or auto
mobile. Hence, they have organized
what is known as Orange Blossom
Products company" of California and
have secured permit from the state

vegetable growth of the valley that
has been tried but that the damage
is in varying degrees. The least
affected by the smoke, it was stated
by the delegation, appears TO be milo
maize, although some other lines are
affected but little more than the
maize 1t was stated that the fine
powder which is component part
of the smoke is sprayed ON the leaves
of the vegetation and thus closes the
pores from breathing and causes the
plant to Shrivel up but that this does
not kill the plant down to the root
and that further growth will come.
One of the farmers estimated that
in the case of his alfalfa the damage
from particular case of smoke was
probably one third to SO per cens.
/ The same effect comes from the
smoke falling upon Towering shrubs
and Mr.. Percola told of how his
roses had been very prolific until
struck by the smoke 1t was claimed
the same effect could also be traced
to the grass growing on the valley
where the land never had been
cultivated.
After very general recital of the
instances by the delegation and q
frank discussion between the dele
gates and the directors of the cham
ber throughout which the friendliest
understanding prevailed, it seemed to
be the agreement that the probable
solution of the case must be found
in a course of selective farming
wherein the crops to be grown will

This, it was indicated, must be the
way until there has been some more
practical method of freeing the smoke
of the damaging particles. Tt was
the concensus of opinion among al!
present that current methods Of
treating smoke are impractical for
the purpose and it was also the
agreement that the best course would
be to try to keep the matter upon
friendly grounds, that being the pru-
dent thing for all concerned
1t was brought out in the dis
cussion that smelter smoke problems
have existed in various parts of the
country and still do exist, case in
point being that of Great Falls,
Mont, where the Anaconda Copper
Mining company expended very
large amount of money in erecting
what, for years, was the tallest
smokestack in the world Yet there
a problem continues to exist and
charges have been made that arsen-
ical poison caused by an arsenic spray
coming from the smoke had seriously
damaged livestock on the farms. 1t
is true, in that section, however, that
the vegetation is not seriously dam
aged but there is little other than
grass and small grains, such as wheat
and corn, to be affected
After the discussion had covered
the field quite generally, the cham
bers board referred the matter to
it's agricultural committee with a
request that it give it careful thought
and that at some time agreeable tc
both interests it meet with the Sul-i

phur Springs Valley Protective aSSo-
citation for further consideration of
the matter This was satisfactory to
the visitors, as they stated that they
had come merely to open friendly
negotiation on a study of the subject
and with no purpose to carry chips
on their shoulders, and they assured
the chamber that they would be
pleased to continue consideration Of
the subject along mutual lines.
1t appears that the association has
been making rather careful study OF
the case and has made inquiry of
various agricultural departments With
the hope of finding some helpful
suggestions upon the matter, their
inquiry having reached to state as
we'll as federal authorities.
One of the interesting things
brought out at the hearing was the
statement Of Mr. Bowland that he
had selected the Sulphur Springs val
ley as the place he wanted to make
his home after he had seen prac-
tically every agricultural area in the
United States and that he had used
his homestead right here and since
getting his title by pre-emption he
had acquired further acreage.
II was the suggestion OF some
members of the board of directors
that the most plausible course to be
followed by the residents of the
valley would be to turn attention to
such crops as would feed hogs
chickens and cattle and grow them
and raise the livestock and poultry
f the bee could make more visits

the cause of it's association in a
friendly and straightforward fashion.
They declared that they did not
come in a spirit of antagonisln but
that they knew that it was one Of
much importance to the people OF
Douglas as we'll as themselves and
that both had interest in having
successful farming enterprise in the
valley as well as continued operation
OF the large industries, which the
snelters are. They said that they
were searching for solution that
would make it possible to have both
lines Of activity continue and expand
rather than to try to put hardships
on either.
1t was pictured to the board of
directors of the chamber, which
gathered to listen to the visitors, that
the effect of the smoke proves highly
detrimental to practically all the

REMUS OFFERS
EVIDENCE ON
INSANITY PLEA

CINCINNATI, Nov. % [P9-Lay tes-
timony was accepted in George Remus'
murder trial today as having estab-
lished that his mind was diseased
prior to last October 6, when he shot
his wife, Imogene.
The ruling of Judge Chester r..
Shook threw wide the portals for in
PRODUCTION of vast quantity of evil
dence touching upon the alleged
causes of the alteration. Remus' sole
plea is transitory maniacal insanity.
He AYERS he was driven mad by mis-
conduct of his wife and Franklin L.
Dodge, Jr, former agent of the fed
era1 department. of justice.
Dodge obtained the conviction which
wrecked the gigantic illicit enterprise
Remus had evolved from a legally
trained mind, and sent him to the
Atlanta federal penitentiary as vio-
lator of the prohibition law. He was
subpoenaed today as a defense wit
ness He previously had been sum
money for the prosecption but was
held for use in rebuttal.
A start was made today for the de-
fense's effort to prove misconduct by
Mrs. Remus while her husband served
various pIlSOI1 SC11tCI1CCo. IL WetO OC~
layed, however, by a ruling of Judge
Shook that the possible causes of in
sanity could not be touched on until
it had been established there actually
was a diseased condition of Remus'
mind.
After four lay witnesses had teSti-
fled they had formed opinions Remus
was insane the court expressed salts
faction with the showing and the trial
was opened to all the sensational testi-
mony it had been expected to produce.
Two lay witnesses testified last Sat
urday that they regarded Renus as
insane One of them was recalled
today to reiterate that opinion.
It was through him, A. Lee Beatty,
negro, former assistant federal dis
trict attorney here and ex-legislator
for Ohio that the name of Mrs. Mabel
Walker Willebrandt, assistant United
States attorney general, was brought
into the trial.
Beatty said that in q fit of rawlings
on an occasion when transfer from ont
Jail TO another had been ordered,
Remus asserted that Mrs. Willebrandt
and Dodge were among federal agents
who had conspired with notorious
Egan Rats gang of ST. Louis to do
away with him.
Subsequent events had not altered
his opinion that Renaus was insane.

Yes, the bee sings, I confess it;
Sweet as honey heaven bless 1t;
But 'twould be a sweeter singer
If it didn't have stinger.
So wrote the Hoosier poet, James
Whitcomb Riley. He also wrote that
poem "Fessler's Bees in which he
told the imaginary story of moving
bees from Indiana to Florida in order
to secure full years work from
them and thus make them more
profitable as honey producers. But
it took Frank S. Ciars, OF Los
Angeles, with his associates to put
into practice what Ike Fessler, Riley's
imaginary Hoosier bee grower, did in
poem story. Here's how.
Clark and his associates have been
watching the bee at work and they
determined that distance was the
big handicap for the greatest eff.
