Bees Need Protection
From Cold in Winter

Bees require protection from cold
in winter the same as most animals.
according to Iowa State college.
For helping bees get through the
winter, the minimum requirements of
food for good colony is 60 pounds.
and 1t is better to have more. Only
stores of the best quality should be
used. AS to the bees, the ideal cOndi-
ton would be to have all of them
emerge just prior to the last killing
frost, so that their full strength will
be available for winter heat prOduc-
ton and leave sufficient energy to give
the colony good start in the spring.
1t is best to introduce the queen In
late summer.
Two general types of winter protec-
ton are used the indoor or cellar and
the outdoor or case If conditions are
satisfactory, cellar wintering of bees
is sound practice. Where bees are
to be wintered outside, a windbreak
of some kind is very important. For
real outdoor protection the case meth
cd is essential.

Three Points Spelling
Success or a Failure

Farmers who intend to plant apple
orchards should remember that if an
orchard has good site, if the soil is
good, and if good varieties are plant
ed, there is a good chance for success,
but if these three points are unfavOr-
able, even the Neutrality-suspicious. and

culture.
ed to the site and soil, but also to the
present market demands. The future
market preferences must also be an.
ticipated. The trees, themselves.
should be heavy producers, for large
yields are produced at less cost for
each bushel or each barrel.
Quality of the fruit is another point
that must be considered, for the fruit
must be in demand on the market and
must sell for good price. AS time
goes on, quality is going to be more
and more important, largely due to
present-day transportation and stOr-
age facilities.
Perishable Mcintosh may now be
kept in cold storage until April if
carefully handled. Thus they COM
pete directly with better keeping but
lower-quality varieties which former

sorts were gone.
According to recent survey in New
England, 80 per cent of the apples for
household use are used raw, and this
tendency will undoubtedly increase.

The COMMUNITY TREE


THIS is the story they tell in IA viii
lage by the sea: 1t was rather a
small village, and not very rich vii
lage, and most of the people who lived
there were fishermen and their fam
lilies.
At Christmas time a young girl de-
cided that they must be up to date
and have community tree. 1t took a
deal of talking and wheedling and get
ting around old people who could
see no sense in it. But at last the
necessary money was raised
all but few dollars. The young girl
decided to go to cross old captain
who was never known 10 give anything
TO anybody, except ill-natured replies.
The girl used all her art to persuade
him. He said it was a waste of money
and electricity and had no sense to it.
81 wouldn't give a penny" he growled,
mot if every man and woman in the
town begged me on their knees. Fool

But the young girl was not discour-
dSeu. one Hdu SCI ucT utdTt vi nav
ing the tree. Finally she managed to
raise the required amount
The tree stood straight and tall on
a high hill overlooking the sea. 1t
blazed with light and was very beau
tiful. Everyone admired it except the
captain.
Christmas eve there came a sudden
storm of wind and snow. But shin
ing through the flakes cleaned the
lighted tree. The captains son, Rog-
er. had gone to the next village on
business. On the way home his car
broke down. He was compelled to
walk. Weary and spent he finally ar
rived at his home. The captains face
was lined with anxiety.
Thought We were lost" he said ;
whats been the trouble?"
Roger related his experiences. and
then said. "The storm grew so bad
that almost gave up. could hardly
tell where l was. 1t was hard to walk.
Then saw the Christmas tree
and that was the one thing that led
me home"
