in fact, it would appear that (he great
scapegoat, imported from Russia, h
about to cause the collapse of nil na

of.
Not, lhe least among the things to
be feared is that if tho I,caguof Na

Trouble is what the Russian mon

Most of the honey oroduccd In the
fL'idted States cnin?s from the Pacific
'coast, one-fifth of the 54,8M,ttu
pounds proflucctl each vear as a by
.pioduct on farms not devoted to com
mercial producticn of honey alone,
coming from California. Resides
that, the United Elates imnorts an
nually hundreds of tnousands of
pounds from Mexico and particularly
jCuba. where the industry has had
government a(j.?istanc?. Now Can
adian farmers are taking the field
and have entered their fnt fields of
alfalla nnd clover against the Cu
bans' miles of wild Rowers. Mani
toba's 118 production went to
1,000,000 pounds, valued at $300,000.
A single farmer in Southern Alberta
obtained 1,000 pounds from thirty
hives. British Columbia's honey crop
of 225 tons recorded a 3u j)r -rent in
crease over 11U7. And tho growing
of honey rich crops has scarcely bo
gun. Western honey brings three to
eleven cents a pound more than east
ern honey because of its high quality
and fine flavor. Farmers have found
that the long sunny days which give
e:tra weight to their plump har4
wheat also keep thy honey bee hum
ming long hours, with profit to its
keeper.
In other localities, notably In the
northwest, tho middle west and the
east, bee raising has offered golden
rewards which recent war needs have
multiplied.
