at Farm Session.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, October 22.-Italy's hearty
support to the American delegations
idea of world planned economy in
agriculture was given today at the
opening meeting of the general assem-
bly, of the Institute of Agriculture.
Baron Acerbo, Italian minister Of
agriculture, speaking in the name of
Premier Mussolini, voiced the sup
port.
Rexford G. Tugwell, American Un-
dersecretary of Agriculture, was elect
ed vice president Of the assembly.
Baron Acerbo, however, attributed
the American idea of an information
ally planned agriculture to Mussolini,
who, he said, speaking in this hall in
1927, recognized in the International
Institute of Agriculture the further
possibility of outlining and planning
what should be done in the matter of
an international agricultural economic
policy.
1T Is with justifable satisfaction
now, seven years later, that the Ital-
ian government sees that its chief
ideas have borne fruit and that in
this assembly the problem has been
clearly raised of how best to make the
work OF this great institute serve the
purposes Of those new tendencies on
which economic policy is almost uni
versally engaged"

EMUEL CARTER OF 336 M street
southwest is the Capitals one
and only bee merchant.
IL He specializes in italian
queens. which he sells either
for pets or profit. Take your pick.
You may be surprised, or even
alarmed, at the thought of a pet bee,
but it is a fact that Washington is
honeycombed with bee colonies. Peo-
pie keep them in the back yard, as
does Mr.. Carter, or on the roof. Bees
are apt to be afflicted with claustro-
phobia, so it is not to your health or
theirs that they be kept indoors.
Kept Bees as Pets.
Mr. Carter's bee business began
when he kept them as pets on his
fathers farm in Caroline County, Va.
when he was boy of IA. and that
was more than half century ago.
When in 1896 he took the house on
M street southwest, small. and with
that mellow air that distinguishes a
genuine antique, he was engaged in
the worthy enterprise of seeing that
Washington's very young received their
daily quota of milk from the herds of
the outlying districts. But as time
went on, it became more and more
evident that, though fond of children,
he was decidedly not ''sympatico" with
cows. They bored him. Meanwhile,
his hobby was beginning to make
money. It was not long before it en-
crossed his whole attention.
The Carter bee farm is intricately
laid out in the small space of a con-

their wings, spinning 1t out like
fine flm, tanning 1t with their wings.
Then it Is made part Of the geometric
structure Of the hive. 1t takes 21
pounds Of honey to make about i Of
wax, and sensible keepers will pre-
serve the hive while they drain the
honey.
Mr.. Carter was mildly incensed at
the waste Of honey that goes on in
the world. A field of clover will yield
carloads Of honey, he says. Why
waste 1t? He uses honey to sweeten
everything he wants sweetened, and
has no use for sugar.

ence is often quite tragic. When food
is scarce, he is kept out Of the hive
by armed resistance Like the scor-
pion, he dies upon his wedding night,
though he is not eaten by his mate.
The queen does nothing but lay eggs
and eat. The workers do nothing but
work. and more work
When the queen lays an egg, the
ladies in waiting carry it of to
private chamber. At first it stands
on end, then gradually 1t topples over,
and at the end Of four days is nothing
but tiny spot. In about 16 days it
snaps out Of this condition, and eats
its way out. II it is q worker, and Is
born in a rush season, it will probably
live no longer than four days. 1t
works until it is dizzy and dies Of ex-
haustion. Mr.. Carter pointed to one
little bee that swooped out of the
hive and fell on the ground. That
little fellow is a goner," he said. For
a second the bee struggled, then rose
and sailed away. He won't be back"
said Mr. Carter.

from Massachusetts, Institute of Tech

organizers of the National Aeronautic

Of slim trees. There are pots Of flow-

takes care of. Behind the yard is a
barn, which Mr.. Carter built himself,
in which are kept bee supplies, hives,
wire baskets, bottles of sirup for the
lean season. This outlay is sufficient
to keep Mr.. Carter, his wife and his
wife's father in comfortable circum-
stances.
Mr.. Carter was sitting coatless and

Cyclist Visits
Merry States In
Search OF Work

Having gone almost 5000 miles
by bicycle in search of work, since
he left his home in Parsons, Kan,
June II, John w. Richardson is en-
route to his home again.
He left San Bernardino yester-
day, cycling most of the night in
order to avoid the heat of the day.
Richardson said it was an ideal
night for travelling and the moon
light was so bright he had to wear
his cap most of the time to protect
his eyes.
From p. m. to 4 p. m. this morn
ing she covered rs miles which he
says is good speed for a bike as
heavily laden on q road with SO
much traffic.
Richardson has traversed all
states save two and hopes TO make
Yuma tonight, thus getting into
Arizona and leaving New Mexico as
the only state in which he has not
yet travelled
He plans to return via the Carls-
bad cavernS and the southern
route.
This is Richardson IS second trip
to the valley, his first being in
1890 when he came here for his
health. He says that on this trip
he has lost 90 pounds and feels
much better as he was overweight
before.
Imperial Valley press., 1934-09-22

About 5000 amendments to the Con-
Stitution of the United States have been
proposed since 1899, but only 81 have
become part of that document, and one
has already been repealed.
-Four other proposals were adopted by
Congress, but failed of ratification, while
fifth, the Child Labor Amendment of
1874, passed Congress, has been ratified
by 20 states rejected by y, and faces
final rejection on the negative vote of
only one more state.
Of the four amendments passed by
Congress, but not ratified, two of 1889
related to compensation of senators and
representatives and apportionment of
the House of Representatives.
In 1910 Congress offered an amend
ment to the states prohibiting the citi-
zens from accepting rewards, offices, or
money from any foreign government. 1t
was ratified by II states, but couldn t
get the 18th necessary for adoption.
Only three states ratified the Corwin
amendment of 1861, which prohibited
any amendment to the Constitution abol-
ishing slavery.
The remaining mass of proposals COW
cred subjects all the way from chang
ing the wording of the Preamble to in
clude reference to God to changing the
name of the United States.
One proposed amendment would abol-
ish the army and navy, another would
require both Houses to vote by electrici-
ty, and third would make law inef-
fective as soon as a majority of those it
affected voted against it.
1t seemed that any member of Con-
gress with a peculiar theory proposed an
amendment to the Constitution to make
that theory effective. These ideas were
not only political, but sociological and
religious.
During the first 100 years of this gov
ernment, 1900 amendments were pro-
posed and from 1880 on there have been
at least another 1900 There have been
score of proposals for the eight-hour
day, as many for the initiative and ref
erendum, almost score limiting the veto
power of the President and more than
three-score enlarging these powers.
But the wheels of the amendment ma
chinery move very slowly and appear to
break down long before ratification has
been reached. And that is why our Con-
stitution has endured, with only 81
changes, since it was created lat years
ago this week.
The ceremonial dancers of Africa have
been known to whirl 100 revolutions
without stop. The South American
governments can do better than that.
