' Munv housewives who do not
have a supply of honey on hand

to buy large cans ol It may havu to
content themselves with honey ot
tered In bottles or In H 11 in 11 Hall
Before the nilddlo of Deeemher
the bureau of agrleultunil econom
ics reiiorti'il that the VJ'M commei
clal crop was largely disponed of,
anil that Ihero wan Ions hone
available than ever before at that
aeliKon of the year.
I)y mld-Deeemher innro than
three-fourths of the commercial
producers of honey wore either
completely Hold out or they had
only enoUKh honey on hand to sup
ply the local demand Tor the re
mainder of the season.
The demand for honey has been
growing rapidly. Use of honey has
Increased so itroatly In new pru
ducts, especially in the linking
field, that supplies have become
very liglil. Wheal bread made Willi
honey, which has been on the mar
liet for not more than two years,
lies been taktliK millions of pounds
of this product. A bailors' consult
ing bureau that furnished uue for
mula for thin kind of broad esti
mated some months ngo that six
million pounds of honey a year are
being used In this formula alone.
Exports Heavy
' One interesting point in the
iioney situation Is the scarcity of
comb honey, which is oven more
scarce than extruded honey. The
. ghortuge of comb honey is. partly
duo to the largo (ilu.lltllles which
have been exported recently to
ICnglHiiri and Scotland: Another rea
son is tlml heclcccpcra In recent
years have been turning incruns
, Jngly, to the production of extract
ed honey.
i l'robably not moro llian a fourth
us much comb honey Is. being mar
liuled now iih 2f. years ngo. Several
lectors have contributed lo this.
KlVsl, beekeepers can produce larg
er uuuutltlns of honey by returning
the empty combs to tlie lines and
giving them a chance to fill them
u'guln - with noctar. Also, because
of drought In recent years, it has
been difficult to produce comb
honey of high quality, especially
In the plains stales which formerly
sold comb honey In largo volume.
Finally, It takes better beekeep
ItiK and moro effort lo produce
good coiuli honey lhan it does to
produce 'the extracted product, and
the present tendency in beekeeping
Is to reduce costs to a minimum,
especially tho limo required in bee
Keeping operations, so Ihat a larg
er number of colonies can be hand
